Well, creating the stubs is often the easiest part of working on a DLL.. So if nobody wants to work on a DLL, what would it gain us to have the stubs (as the people who are competent to work on it will also know how to create the stubs themselves).

Hi list, I've noticed this  in getting.sgml, I've recently changed a few things in it, but there isn't a cvs.sgml file, should this warning go? Ivan.

I'd say don't support that. At least for now, it's not that important a functionality to worry about it... -- Dimi.

You use LoadString() to load the string (look at how we load error strings in edit.c even though there it's simple since the buffer is fixed size for now). > cvs diff -u is ok?

Nothing like it save across the border at windows MSVC++. Well I guess I like the other stuff too. I'm originally a Macintosh person so anything GUI for me. KDevelop will let you feel more at home if you come from windows. You cannot use KDevelop 2.1 release with wine. Too many files to deep. It will crash trying to import that project. (After 10 minuets of a progress bar) here you have been warned. KDevelop 3 beta does not do any of that. It Just runs the makefile no Q asked. 3 seconds done. But be careful do not use the official beta release (or RPMs or DEBs) use only the latest snapshot. You'll have to compile it from source. and thanks for the "make etags" KDevelop likes that too ...

Just adding an entry in the.spec file makes somethin build?

by Joshua Walker

Are .spec files automahicly built? Adding an entry to the .spec file does what exactly? From my standpoint all it does is add an entry to the documentation thats generated by c2man.pl, but it's undocumentabale, not linked to anything, and just sits there. I'm assuming you *MUST* have a function, or a declration, or something the jive with the .spec file? On second thought, this is more of a functionallity question. Here's more on documentation... I wanted to say this after I finished documenting the API of a DLL, but it's more releivent here. Many people program open source for many reasons. I simply want to learn the Win32 API. I have no idea why, I guess I'm just cerious about how it works. As I am sitting here placing comments into code I am reminded of a short story in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" In the story there was an alien who had immortility accidently placed upon him by way of a particle accelorator, a rubber band, and I think some tea... But I'm not too sure about that bit. Anyway he had a grand old time simply outliving the hell out of everyone. After a while he became biter an jaded, he needed something to do to bide his time and so he decided to insult the universe. The worst bit, and the part that he fought so hard to maintain, is that he decided to do it *Alphabectally* I feel much like this guy, I'm starting in advapi32.dll and methotcally working my way through it. At first I wanted to do an end-to-end API documentaion, but I'm hampered by things that arn't implmented yet. That's fine, I'll just do an end-to-end Wine API documentation instead. I do not have the skills to fill in code myself. I don't even have a test suite (Read:windows computer) to check myself against anyway. I have found that when I document the APIs, that the subs tend to stand out between the hyperlinks. It almost feels like they are saying "Look at me! Not only do I not fuction, but I can't get a lousy hyperlink either!" And so I think I have found another motivtion to do Open Source programming. Guilt. Yes, I am now panning to guilt people into impmentation. All those entries look soooo pretty it it wasn't for those ugly, black stubs in there. I would like to have the entire API in there, stubbed out, to simply enhance the guilt. But I shall just "do what's there" I just dispuse going through what I've written when I have an eppifiny of some sort. I have to do it again anyway as I need to link up some advapi32 calls to some ntdll calls. I just learnd that one was a front end to another... Anyway, I guess this is a rounds about way of saying this, but I'll just do what's there, and hopefully guilt others into implemtation ^_^ -Joshua P.S. If I find someone who has implemented something after I've gon through the DLL, only to find they didn't bother to make a simple documentation header for it.... Well, then I'd just be really sore....

Oh, I see.... I was intending to simply not support that :) What you want is a deep tree copy function. You can then do renaming by copying the contents of a key to a new key, and deleting the old one. Here's one I just knocked up. Total pain in the ass isn't it! Hopefully when we get a standard config system on Linux it will be a bit better designed.... /* Copy the values and subkeys of the registry key source to dest recursively. * Returns NO_ERROR if the copy completed OK, otherwise it propagates the error. */ LONG copytree(HKEY source, HKEY dest) { int i = 0; LONG res; /* first of all, copy the values */ while (1) { char valname[MAX_VALUE_NAME]; DWORD valname_size = sizeof(valname); DWORD size; DWORD typecode; char *value; /* determine size of the buffer we'll need */ res = RegEnumValue(source, i, valname, &valname_size, NULL, &typecode, NULL, &size); if (res == ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS) break; if (res != NO_ERROR) return res; value = HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, size); if (!value) return ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY; valname_size = sizeof(valname); /* RegEnumValue blasts this even though it doesn't need to */ res = RegEnumValue(source, i, valname, &valname_size, NULL, &typecode, value, &size); if (res != NO_ERROR) return res; res = RegSetValueEx(dest, valname, 0, typecode, value, size); if (res != NO_ERROR) return res; HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, value); i++; } /* for each subkey, create an equivalent under dest then recurse into ourselves to complete the copy */ i = 0; while (1) { HKEY subkey_src, subkey_dest; char name[MAX_KEY_LENGTH]; DWORD size = sizeof(name); FILETIME time; res = RegEnumKeyEx(source, i, name, &size, NULL, NULL, NULL, &time); if (res == ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS) break; if (res != NO_ERROR) return res; /* create the destination subkey */ res = RegCreateKey(dest, name, &subkey_dest); if (res != NO_ERROR) return res; /* open the source subkey */ res = RegOpenKey(source, name, &subkey_src); if (res != NO_ERROR) return res; /* perform the recursive copy */ res = copytree(subkey_src, subkey_dest); if (res != NO_ERROR) return res; i++; } return NO_ERROR; } Hope that helps! thanks -mike
