Heya all, Anyone have any ideas on this one? http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=13825&group_id=85&atid=411 It''s easy enough to rescue, I''d just like to know what MRI does in this case, so we can duplicate it. Regards, Dan

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

Hi, I was going to modify the TaskScheduler#save method to take an optional file name. But, I need to convert a Ruby string to an OLE string. I thought I could use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692615(VS.85).aspx But, it only appears to accept literal string constants. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Dan

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 Park, I tried your latest patch and ran the sample code: readPipe, writePipe = IO.pipe t = Thread.new{ sleep 5 while true sleep 0.1 puts "got #{readPipe.readline.length} bytes" end } i = 1 while true i += 1 sleep 1 puts "hello from main" if i > 3 writePipe.puts "a"*2048 end end t.join At the console I typed the

Hi all, I''m trying to build a gemspec for win32-ipc, using a precompiled binary. Here''s my gemspec file: #win32-ipc.gemspec require "rubygems" spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.name = "win32-ipc" s.version = "0.3.1" s.platform = Gem::Platform::WIN32 s.summary = "A base class for Win32 synchronization objects."

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.

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 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, 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

Dang, I thought we solved this. Any ideas?

Hi all, If you take a look at the service.rb file in the win32-service repository (the new one in the toplevel repository path), I''ve got this bit of code, which succeeds, but I can''t seem to unpack the data structure properly. Did I pack it wrong to begin with? I should know this but I''m spacing out. proc_status =
