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, I''ve got EventLog#write and EventLog.add_event_source methods done. Well, I *think* they''re done, but I can''t get the data (text) to work properly, and I''m not sure if it''s a bug in my .mc file, the add_event_source method, the write method, or just a goof in my test file. The source, category and event id seem to be ok. However, the

Hi, Hm, the string inserts are different, too. Any encoding issues? Your user name uses extended ASCII, too, right? Not sure if that''s significant or not. I''ve cc''d the win32utils-devel list to see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks, Dan botp wrote: > On 12/4/07, Daniel Berger <djberg96 at gmail.com> wrote: >> Can you tell us which record numbers in

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 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, 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, 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.

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?

All, I was experimenting with converting LPCTSTR strings to wide strings with something like this: // Converts a Ruby string to a LPWSTR LPCTSTR AllocWideLString(VALUE rbString){ char* str = STR2CSTR(rbString); int length = (strlen(str)+1) * sizeof(WCHAR); LPCTSTR lpStr = (LPCTSTR)malloc(length); MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP, 0, str, strlen(str)+1,

I just tried running tc_mmap.rb and noticed that something rather curious seems to happen. The call to Mmap.new in setup seems to cause the test suite to just exit without ever actually running the tests. I reduced the test suite to just this bit of code. This works, although the final test (TypeError) does not pass - no exception in thrown. This is 1.8.1 on Win2k. Any ideas? Dan PS - I

Hi all, Thought I should say something - it''s been a little while. :) Anyway, I''m still futzing with how I want the Ruby API to look. The more I look at the Perl version, the more I think it was too faithful to the C API. Right now I''m looking at the trigger() method. For example, I don''t see any reason to make the "type" key take a hash as an

I just discovered something awful. The EventLog#tail method does not work the way I thought it did. Instead of picking up new events as they''re added, it''s really just iterating backwards through the current event log backwards. Look at this sample below. The first record is correct. Then another event happens, but instead of the latest record, I get an *earlier*

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''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
