similar to: Process.waitpid blocking in win32-process

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, 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, 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, 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, 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 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, 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, Has anyone else been able to build Ruby 1.8.7 from source on Windows? I get this when I run configure: C:\>win32\configure.bat find: =: No such file or directory Creating Makefile Creating Makefile(6) : fatal error C1085: Cannot write compiler generated file: '''': Invalid argument NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ''cl'' : return code ''0x1''

Hi, What''s happening here? require ''windows/path'' require ''windows/unicode'' include Windows::Path include Windows::Unicode file_a = ''bar.txt'' file_w = multi_to_wide(file_a) p PathFindExtensionA(file_a) # ''.txt'' => OK p PathFindExtensionW(file_w) # ''.'' => WRONG Is Ruby chopping the

Hi everyone, Windows XP Pro OpenSSL 0.9.8i Ruby 1.8.6-p114 Ok, I''m going a bit OT here, but I want to see if anyone knows the answer. I built Ruby with VC++ 8 (cl 14). I managed to build and install OpenSSL. I also managed to build the Ruby OpenSSL extension, after 1 minor tweak to x509.h to eliminate a macro conflict: --- x509.orig Thu Oct 02 11:30:10 2008 +++ x509.h Thu Oct

Hi all, Yeah, I''m going OT here... I''m not entirely sure I understand how Ruby builds parse.y on Windows, but it works. However, when I changed all instances of "Ruby" to "Sapphire", and renamed all the source files, I suddenly started getting this error: byacc ./parse.y ''byacc'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Hi everyone, I see that Visual Studio 2008 Pro has the ability to auto-format code. Does anyone know if there''s a way to auto-format pre-ansi C code to ANSI C? I couldn''t find anything, but there''s so many options in VS I wasn''t sure. Regards, Dan This communication is the property of Qwest and may contain confidential or privileged information.

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 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. Here are a couple of useful links: http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/09/jna-jruby https://jna.dev.java.net/ Regards, Dan This

Note to anyone paying attention - this was solved off list. Apparently I just goofed the patch.

Hi all, I can''t remember - with callback support in our win32-api library now, can we turn win32-open3 and win32-service (specifically, the Daemon class) into pure Ruby libraries? If not, is there anything we could possibly add to win32-api so that we *could* make them pure Ruby?

Hi all, I noticed that some of the Zw functions would be very handy to use. While they''re exported by NTDLL, it seems they''re part of the Windows Driver Kit, and those headers don''t ship with Visual C++ by default. Or do they? I don''t have them with Visual C++ 8 anyway. What I''m mainly after is the ZwQueryInformationFile for use with File::Stat, so I

Hi all, Just looking over fole_s_connect() in win32ole.c and I noticed this bit: hr = CLSIDFromProgID(pBuf, &clsid); ... hr = GetActiveObject(&clsid, 0, &pUnknown); ... hr = pUnknown->lpVtbl->QueryInterface( pUnknown, &IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pDispatch ); Using win32-api, that would be something like: IID_IUnknown =
