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

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 =

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 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

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 all, I''ve been going through the various IPC modules for Win32Utils and converting them to pure Ruby. I''m almost done with win32-mutex, but I can''t get the example to work. I keep getting this error: C:/Documents and Settings/djberge/workspace/win32-mutex/examples/mutex_test.rb:41: undefined method `+'' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from

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

Hello list, In my quest to get Mongrel working as service for win32, found some problems with win32/service that make it impossible to solve. Attached is the simplest service script I could do with ruby, which depends on win32/service. I found that doing anything complex in service_stop (killing threads, doing file handling, even sleeping for 0.25 seconds). crash the service with backtraces (of

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, 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, 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.

I''ve been working on a library called ruby-wmi, that is basically just an abstraction layer around wmi. I''m a windows sys admin, and I use wmi scripts a lot at work. My code looks like this: disks = WMI::Win32_LogicalDisk.find(:all, :conditions => {:drivetype => 5}) It''s supposed to mimic the active_record interface, and it works pretty well. My next thought
