Hey, thanks for this. I ended up doing the same thing (translating an
existing service from C++). But my code is messy, and I shall mine your
example for improvements. :) I am *very* glad I could write this thing in
D!
One thing that bit me: if you want to use an extended Service Control
Handler (RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerEx), these functions are absent from
advapi32.lib (at least in my recent version of DMD). I had to include a
linkage.def file, when linking, to get it working:
EXETYPE NT
IMPORTS
RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerExA at 12 = advapi32.RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerExA
Cheers,
Graham
