Has anyone done a wrapper for windows ReadDirectoryChangesW? I expected it in phobos windows.d but it's not there.

Hi David,

Thanks for the link the project WindowsAPI had the wrappers and it works with a little modification to FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION.

What are the modifications? Could you commit them, please?

I removed what I need from WindowsAPI and pasted it into my project since I use D 2.0 and not 1.0.

I just changed FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION so that it looks like the following (which is more like the original definition in MSDN).

Note: I removed _FileName;

struct FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION
{
DWORD NextEntryOffset;
DWORD Action;
DWORD FileNameLength;
WCHAR FileName;
}

Where you have got to cast to get FileName.

It was good enough for what I needed to do.

You can also look at Watcher http://www.dsource.org/projects/watcher where it's done differently and works with Mango.

win32 bindings used to work with both D1 and D2 (a few versions ago at least).
I'll take a look and update them if they got broken by recent changes.

Thanks.

I remember it. Wasn't it fixed shortly after the introduction ("for Tango")?
IIRC, it affected both D1 and D2, so the code should either work for both or for none.

Hi,

I think I wasn't clear.

The reason why I didn't use WindowsAPI as is was because I "thought" and could be wrong that there may be some issues. WindowsAPI just had what I needed.

Thanks for the great work being done with WindowsAPI next time I might just go ahead and actually use it as is.
