Hi,

I've been trying to create a NamedPipe with security attributes but at compile time throws:
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _InitializeSecurityDescriptor@8
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _SetSecurityDescriptorDacl@16

This is my code, I'm trying to do it using a class:


module asi.pipe;

import core.sys.windows.windows;
import core.sys.windows.winbase;
import core.stdc.stdlib;

class Pipe
{
        private HANDLE hPipe;
        private SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES sa;

        this(string name)
        {
                CreatePipe(name);
        }

        private void CreatePipe(string pipename)
        {

                sa.lpSecurityDescriptor = malloc(SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR.sizeof);
                
InitializeSecurityDescriptor(cast(PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR)sa.lpSecurityDescriptor, 
1);
                
SetSecurityDescriptorDacl(cast(PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR)sa.lpSecurityDescriptor, 
TRUE, cast(ACL*)0, FALSE);
                sa.nLength = sa.sizeof;
                sa.bInheritHandle = TRUE;

                CreateNamedPipeA(cast(char*)pipename,
                                                 PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX,
                                                 (PIPE_TYPE_BYTE | 
PIPE_READMODE_BYTE | PIPE_WAIT),
                                                 PIPE_UNLIMITED_INSTANCES,
                                                 4096,
                                                 1536,
                                                 0,
                                                 &sa);
        }
}


Additional Info:
The installer came with just a few files to handle with Windows, comparing the the huge files that are in the repository of druntime: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/tree/master/src/core/sys/windows So I renamed the old import to Windows2 and copied this whole github/windows folder there and used its winbase.d because there are the functions definitions that I needed.

This functions that throw me errors belongs to the advapi32.dll file. I tried to add pragma(lib "advapi32"); but it didn't work.

I'm new/noob dealing with D and I would appreciate any help.

thanks.
