Hi all, Is anyone on the list going to RubyConf this year? I don''t know yet if I''m going to go. I''m still thinking about it. Regards, Dan

Hi all, With the latest 1.8.6 release out today, I was wondering - what would you all think of a Windows-only fork of Ruby? I mean Perl has ActiveState, right? It ships with a slightly different interpreter and different libraries, so why not Ruby? Here''s what I''m thinking: * Win2k or later. No 95/98/ME support. No cygwin/mingw, either. * Assume VC++ 8. Use whatever

Attached is a patch and my service.c if there is any difficulty applying the patch. I did the following: 1. Created a ruby thread (Ruby_Service_Ctrl), that polls against a simple integer value (protected by a critical section). I was worried this would be "expensive"; however, I found the rb_thread_polling method and it seems to work well. 2. When an event occurs in Service_Ctrl it

Hi all, I *finally* committed the patch from Patrick Hurley (you know, the one he submitted way back in June). Looks like it works. I''ve also revamped the code under the examples directory. There''s now a tdaemon.rb (the test daemon) and tdaemon_ctl.rb (the test daemon controller). Before I release this into the wild I want to make sure I document how to use it properly.

Hi all, Any Java/JRuby folks on the list? I''d like to see if we can implement api.c for JRuby using JNA and see how it handles the callbacks. I''m not a Java guy, nor do I know JNA, but I''ll take a stab at it if no one else on the list does. Here are a couple of useful links: http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/09/jna-jruby https://jna.dev.java.net/ Regards, Dan This

Hi all, How does this look as a general approach to a SID.create method: # Creates and initializes def self.create(authority, *sub_authorities) if sub_authorities.length > 8 raise ArgumentError, ''maximum of 8 subauthorities allowed'' end authorities = Array.new(8, 0) authorities.replace(sub_authorities) count = authorities.select{ |e| e > 0 }.size

Any ideas? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Christian Kerth <christian.ke... at dynamicmedia.at> Date: Dec 5, 8:28 am Subject: win32/process problem To: comp.lang.ruby I have an application that consists of serveral independent parts. I want to use the Windows Process API to spawn the different processes. e.g. require ''rubygems'' require

Hi all, I''m trying to get the allocation size of a file via a file handle (rather than its name). The example below works for FileNameInformation but I can''t get it to work as expected for FileStandardInformation. Here''s some sample code: # query_test.rb require ''windows/handle'' require ''windows/error'' include Windows::Handle

Hi all, I''ve been working on the win32-pipe library (again) and I''ve reworked the interface. Instead of Pipe.new_server or Pipe.new_client, there''s now a base Pipe class, with Pipe::Server and Pipe::Client subclasses. You can find the latest code in the CVS repo. Oh, and you''ll need to update your windows-pr library with the latest from CVS if you want to

Hi, For those of you that attended RubyConf 2007, what were your impressions? Any more thoughts on JRuby, Rubinius, IronRuby or Wuby? Regards, Dan

Hi, What''s happening here? require ''windows/path'' require ''windows/unicode'' include Windows::Path include Windows::Unicode file_a = ''bar.txt'' file_w = multi_to_wide(file_a) p PathFindExtensionA(file_a) # ''.txt'' => OK p PathFindExtensionW(file_w) # ''.'' => WRONG Is Ruby chopping the

Hi all, One of the net-ping users reported that the Net::Ping::External library was returning false positives on Vista. Basically, it does a ''ping -n1 host'' and checks for certain error strings. The problem is that the error strings it checks for are in English. The user in question is using a cmd.exe that''s entirely in Swedish (I think). Is there any way I can

Hi all, I''ve got the latest win32-mmap code checked into CVS. Unfortunately, it seems that I''m not able to open an existing mapping and retrieve set data. Below is a simple example that seems like it ought to work but doesn''t. Any ideas? # map1.rb require ''win32/mmap'' include Win32 mmap = MMap.new(:name => ''alpha'', :size

Hi all, I know it''s deprecated, but people seem to still be using win32-changenotify, so I thought I''d see if I could make it pure Ruby. Also, I thought it would be a good opportunity to test passing a custom Win32::Event object. I''m mostly done I think, but I''m having trouble unraveling the FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION struct buffer. Please check out the

Hi all, I realized the current implmentation has a problem - you can only get the last value set? I realized, after looking at the old C code, that it actually stores values in a hash and marshals the hash, not the values themselves. That seemed clunky to me, though. I thought it would be more interesting if we just marshalled the entire mmap object and passed that back and forth.

I''m spacing - how do I unravel a protent struct pointer? require ''win32/api'' include Win32 getprotobyname = API.new(''getprotobyname'', ''P'', ''P'', ''ws2_32'') ptr = getprotobyname.call(''tcp'') puts "Name: " + # ??? puts "Aliases: " + # ??? puts "Number: "
