similar to: win32-changenotify 0.5.0 nearing release

Hi all, Ruby 1.8.5 win32-ipc 0.4.2 (or 0.5.0 in cvs) win32-changenotify 0.4.2 I noticed something strange tonight while tinkering with win32-changenotify. Here''s my sample script: # cntest.rb require ''win32/changenotify'' include Win32 path = "C:\\test" filter = ChangeNotify::FILE_NAME | ChangeNotify::DIR_NAME cn = ChangeNotify.new(path, true, filter)

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''ve made some changes to the way that events are handled in win32-changenotify, and I wanted to verify that they were both appropriate and sensical. First, win32-changenotify now requires win32-event. In the constructor, if an event isn''t explicitly passed, a new Win32::Event object is created (instead of calling CreateEvent directly). Then, in the

Hi all, As things stand now, you can do something like this with win32-changenotify: require "win32/changenotify" include Win32 filter = ChangeNotify::FILE_NAME | ChangeNotify::DIR_NAME | ChangeNotify::LAST_WRITE cn = ChangeNotify.new("c:\\",false,filter){ puts "Something changed" } cn.wait You can pass a block that''s executed when a change occurs, but

Hi all, I decided to check the responsiveness of the pure Ruby vs C extension versions of win32-changenotify. I setup this little file generator program: a = [] 10.times{ |n| a << Thread.new{ File.open("File_#{n}", ''w''){ |fh| fh.puts "test #{n}" } } } a.each{ |t| t.join } The pure Ruby version did not do so well. In some cases it

Hi all, Should we make the same change for win32-changejournal that we made for win32-changenotify (i.e yield an array of structs rather than a single struct)? Any objections?

Hi all, I''ve checked in some code to win32-changenotify. Unfortunately, it doesn''t work right. I need some help. I don''t understand what, exactly, I''m supposed to pass to ReadDirectoryChangesW() for the 2nd argument, nor how to read the data back out. There''s also a WCHAR issue that needs to be worked out with regards to the FileName

Hi all, Since I didn''t get any takers on the win32-ole rewrite I thought I''d take a stab at starting it. Here''s what I''ve got so far (along with some extra constants in Windows::COM only in CVS), but the call to CoCreateInstance() isn''t working. I''m not sure if I''m dealing with the IDispatch interface properly: # win32/ole.rb require

Hi all, It seems that a void prototype requires an explicit argument in our version of win32/api: C:\>irb irb(main):001:0> require ''win32/api'' => true irb(main):002:0> include Win32 => Object irb(main):003:0> require ''Win32API'' => true # Our version irb(main):004:0> GetLastErrorA = API.new(''GetLastError'',

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.

Hi all, I''m seeing strange behavior with net-ping on Windows, which uses win32-open3 (Open3.popen3) behind the scenes. Download (or checkout) net-ping and run this: ruby -Ilib test\tc_pingexternal.rb It looks like the test suite is running twice. What''s happening?

Hi all, This is odd. It looks to me like we have all 4 variations of memcpy set in Windows::MSVCRT::Buffer but somehow this one creeps up. I actually noticed it in a few cases with that earlier mmap sub/replace example, but I wasn''t sure what was happening. Note that windows-api 0.2.3 and windows-pr-0.8.3 are the latest versions in CVS, but this happens with windows-api-0.2.2 and

Hi, I''ve released win32-changenotify 0.3.0 today. Take a look. Park and I have discussed a Ruby interface to change journals a little bit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/creating_modifying_and_deleting_a_change_journal.asp Park, would you like to do this, or did you want me to? I wasn''t sure from your RubyForge post. Also, do

All, Currently, the Win32::API.new method will search for the function name, then the ''A'' (ANSI) name, and finally the ''W'' (Wide) name. The code looks something like this: fProc = GetProcAddress(hLibrary, TEXT(RSTRING(v_proc)->ptr)); if(!fProc){ VALUE v_ascii = rb_str_new3(v_proc); v_ascii = rb_str_cat(v_ascii, "A", 1); fProc =

I can''t get mongrel installed on a Win XP. I keep getting some unknown error with this "win32-service-0.5.2". While it states results are logged, the file is empty - not much help. I even tried complete uninstall of ruby and reinstalled ruby 1.8.5-21. But no luck. Oddly, I had no problem installing earlier on a Win 2K machine. Is there something special about XP? here

Heesob, Can you please alter win32-changejournal to return an array of structs as you did for win32-changenotify? Thanks. Dan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Hi all, I released win32-eventlog 0.4.5 today. It''s still a bit on the slow side. The profiler (and general testing) indicates that it''s line 696 that''s the major culprit: va_list = str.split(0.chr)[0...num] Other than changing 0.chr to a literal "\0", does anyone have a way to speed this up? It''s not crucial, but I thought it might make a nice

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
