I have not seen one, so I thought I would ask:  Are there samples in D of implementing Windows services (with ServiceMain et al.) -- or, for that matter, Linux daemons ?

Not yet. That'd be good to do though. Are you offering?

:)

Help !

I have a problem porting this part of WinSvc.h:

<code>

//
// Function Prototype for the Service Main Function
//

typedef VOID (WINAPI *LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONW)(
DWORD   dwNumServicesArgs,
LPWSTR  *lpServiceArgVectors
);

typedef VOID (WINAPI *LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONA)(
DWORD   dwNumServicesArgs,
LPSTR   *lpServiceArgVectors
);

#ifdef UNICODE
#define LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONW
#else
#define LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONA
#endif //UNICODE

//
// Service Start Table
//

typedef struct _SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYA {
LPSTR                       lpServiceName;
LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONA    lpServiceProc;
}SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYA, *LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYA;
typedef struct _SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYW {
LPWSTR                      lpServiceName;
LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTIONW    lpServiceProc;
}SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYW, *LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYW;
#ifdef UNICODE
typedef SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYW SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY;
typedef LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYW LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY;
#else
typedef SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYA SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY;
typedef LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRYA LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY;
#endif // UNICODE

</code>

Getting rid of the ASCII/UNICODE distinction and converting to D would seem to yield this (please excuse my white-space conventions):

<code>

export extern ( Windows )
{

void (* LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION)
(
uint dwNumServicesArgs,
char * * lpServiceArgVectors
);

struct SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY
{
char * lpServiceName;
LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION lpServiceProc;
}

alias SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY * LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY;

} // export

</code>

The problem is that the member of type LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION in the struct SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY crashes dmd.  The rest of my winsvc.d is complete.

I saw that Pavel Minayev's windows.d has:

<code>
extern(Windows) alias void (*LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION)(DWORD);
</code>

but I do not think that is going to work for me.

Can anyone shed some light here ?

I guess this is what I need to do:

<code>

alias void (* LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION)
(
uint dwNumServicesArgs,
char * * lpServiceArgVectors
);

struct SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY
{
char * lpServiceName;
LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION lpServiceProc;
}

alias SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY * LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY;

</code>
