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, Here''s my initial stab at a pure Ruby win32-thread library that doesn''t work at all. I''m not sure how to pass the start address of the arguments to the callback. I thought about Marshal, but you can''t marshal a proc. BTW, the CreateThread method in windows-pr needs to be updated for this to have any hope of success. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan #

Hi, I''ve got a preliminary version of the pure Ruby version of win32-dir in CVS. However, I was hoping to work out the Unicode issue. Run this: from = "C:\\test" to = "?????" Dir.mkdir(from) unless File.exists?(from) Dir.create_junction(to, from) It works, but my explorer (and dos) window shows the name garbled. I don''t think it''s a font

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

That''s weird. Line 296 is just a call to FormatMessage(). Folks on the mailing list - could this be a wide character issue? Buffer too small maybe?

Hi all, I''m forwarding this message from Brian Marick. If you run this test script and then paste the results into a Unicode aware text editor, you''ll notice that it only prints one character instead of three. I tried changing the strlen to _tcslen and strcpy to _tcscpy, but that didn''t help. I mucked around a bit with the MultiByteToWideChar function, too, but

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 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 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, 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 logged a new bug for win32-eventlog based on Joey Gibson''s ruby talk post (116528). Park, I''ve assigned it to you for now, figuring that you''re probably the one who best knows how to fix it. All help welcome. Dan

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 =

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, This library has needed some work for a while, so I''m finally getting around to it. I''ve made some changes and updates in CVS, so grab the latest source to test the issue below. The first issue I''d like to tackle is why the TaskScheduler#account_information (GetAccountInformation) method fails if there''s no user associated with a given task. The docs

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, I''m having a little trouble with strtok: require ''win32/api'' include Win32 strtok = API.new(''strtok'', ''PP, ''P'', ''msvcrt'') string = "A string\tof ,,tokens\nand some more tokens"; seps = " ,\t\n"; puts "Tokens:" token = strtok.call(string, seps) while token puts

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 =
