win32utils devel - Oct 2004 - win32-eventlog problem

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 again Joey,

Well, the bad news is that I don''t think I''ll get a release
out until
this weekend.  The good news, however, is that I think I see what the
problem is.

It looks like a problem in LoadLibraryEx() in eventlog.h.  It seems that
szExeFilePath can, in fact, actually contain a semicolon-separated list
of files, rather than just a single file name.  Since LoadLibraryEx()
doesn''t understand anything more than a single file name, it fails.

I went back and looked at the Perl source, and it appears that it
actually checks for the presence of a ";" character in the string
before
calling LoadLibraryEx(), and splits the string into an array of strings,
checking each one in turn until one succeeds.  Or maybe it just checks
the first one - I need to go back and look.

Anyway, we''ll get it fixed as soon as possible.

Regards,

Dan

I fixed the bug and committed to CVS.

Park, you are awesome! Thanks!

I think I should add a test case to ensure that none of the descriptions
are nil, though I''m not 100% sure.  I mean, is there ever an event log
entry with no message.  It seems unlikely.  I''ll wait to see what you
guys think.

In any case I''ll put out a new release tonight, after "CSI"
is over. :)

Regards,

Dan

Whoops - I see that you make sure that the description field contains
*something* no matter what. :)

I''ll still add the test case, though, for completeness.

Thanks again.

Dan
