similar to: More on the description problem in win32-eventlog

Hi all, I know that once upon a time I said that we shouldn''t use DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES (line 698), but it appears that this was wrong headed thinking for win32-eventlog. A couple of folks have complained that they couldn''t get descriptions for event records in some cases, and I have a strong feeling that''s the culprit. Can anyone see a downside to using

Hi all, Ok, I''m getting closer on this get_description failure and the mscoree.dll file. It has something to do with the way we''re calling FormatMessage(). Consider the following C code, which behaves exactly the same way as the current Ruby code: #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(){ HMODULE hmod; int rv; char buf[4096]; char* dll

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, I''m working on the EventLog#read method for the pure Ruby version of win32-eventlog, but I''m stuck on the get_description private method. Here are the problems: * I don''t think I''m advancing the EVENTLOGRECORD properly between iterations. Take a look at the end of the "while dwread > 0" loop. I get some records, but not all of them.

Hi all, A user recently ran into an issue with win32-eventlog and the EventLog#read method when reading a saved log file. It seems that there''s an issue. After some experimentation I found that the problem seems to be that the initial buffer to ReadEventLog() in line 558 is too small, so it tries a second call to ReadEventLog() with a larger buffer. The problem is that, after I

Hi all, Tim Uckun reported, and I''ve confirmed, that you can''t write to the Windows PowerShell event source for some reason. Tim thought it might be because of the space in the name, but my attempt to quote it did not seem to help. In order to follow along, install PowerShell, create the foo.dll using the foo.mc file in the ''test'' directory, and try the

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

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''ve released 0.2.2 of win32-eventlog. There was a rather nasty bug in the read() method I hadn''t noticed before - it wasn''t reading all the records! In addition, this package officially requires Ruby 1.8.0 or later, as I have replaced the STR2CSTR() functions with StringValuePtr(). Let me know if you find any bugs. Thanks. Dan
