c++.stlsoft - x64 WinSTL issue with registry and scoped_handle: Urgent help needed

I have an issue with scoped_handle on x64 that I need rather urgent assistance
with.

I feel like I'm actually close to figuring out the problem, but getting lost in
the corners of how abstracted things like scoped_handle are. The problem is an
exception being thrown on line 161 of scoped_handle.hpp:

   static void translate(holder_type& h, degenerate_function_type pv)
   {
        function_type   fn  =   reinterpret_cast<function_type>(pv);

        STLSOFT_ASSERT(!h.bPointer);
        STLSOFT_MESSAGE_ASSERT("function pointer must not be NULL", NULL != fn);

        fn(h.u.h); // <-- Here's line 161
   }

The call that's causing this problem is around this:

        // trying to get HKU/.DEFAULT/Environment 
    std::wstring hku_env_rk = FilenameHelper::join(m_userid_wstr,
                SystemConfiguration::HKU_ENVIRONMENT_RK_SUBPATH);
 
    try
    {
        reg_value_sequence_w env(HKEY_USERS, hku_env_rk.c_str());
 
        for (reg_value_sequence_w::const_iterator envvar = env.begin();
                    env.end() != envvar; ++envvar)
        {
            ...
        }
    }
    catch (const registry_exception&)
    {
    }
    catch (...)
    {
    }

The exception thrown is not a registry_exception, but it might be an
invalid_calling_convention_exception. 

We have that secondary catch (...), but that's completely inappropriate as we
are not able to complete this code path on x64 at all. I've got a sample
program, but it includes some of our source code that I can't post to a public
newsgroup. Can you contact me off-group to arrange the source? I can do any
testing necessary if you don't have an x64 server ready for this.

Just checking this one off as complete.

Can you let me know whether you get any issues with the next release - 1.9.55 -
which should be out today/tomorrow.

Cheers

Will do. If the changes are similar to the patches we sent you, this shouldn't be a problem. -austin

Hello Matthew,

I have the same problem with the latest version of STLSOFT (1.9.99) and  
Visual Studio 2008 running under Windows 7 x64. The Exception thrown is  
stlsoft::winstl_project::invalid_calling_convention_exception. It happens  
when I try to iterate over a reg_value_sequence. I traced it back to the  
very same line as Austin (see quoted message below), but didn't get  
further. It complains about an unsupported calling convention "S".

The problem ist still present in STLSOFT 1.9.101. This simple program can reproduce the problem: #include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> #include "winstl/registry/reg_key_sequence.hpp" void print(const winstl::reg_key& key) { std::cout << key.name().c_str() << std::endl; } int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { try { winstl::reg_key_sequence keys(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _T("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion")); std::for_each(keys.begin(), keys.end(), print); return 0; } catch (std::exception& e) { std::cout << e.what() << std::endl; return 1; } } I debugged the program to find out what the problem is, and in winstl.h I found following definitions: #if defined(WIN64) #elif defined(WIN32) #else /* ? WIN?? */ #endif /* WIN?? */ But WIN64 wasn't defined. _WIN64 was. So, I added following lines to my test program, before the include of reg_key_sequence.h: #ifdef _WIN64 #define WIN64 #endif Then everything worked fine. So I googled a bit, and it seems that, for Win64 projects, _WIN64 is automatically defined, whereas WIN64 is not. So, to correct this problem, the line in winstl.h should be changed to "#if defined (_WIN64)". So Long... Gabor
