No, returning twice the W size is the normal behavior when you don't want to retrieve the full W text but only its length. Since each W char can map to at most two A chars (at least with standard Windows codepages) doubling the size is an upper bound on the A buffer size, and doing it that way can avoid a lot of unnecessary work. -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can currently only check on XP and the behaviour I see there does seem strange to me. It should rather return with some error and not change the size at all or maybe it just returns the default key, which usually should be an empty string. The test as is was meant to have at least some starting point. There will be many additions and possibly changes in the future as other results get known from different Windows versions. >Huh?

GetServiceDisplayNameA(hsvcm, "eventlog", NULL, &size); returns with 19 for the size but returns then only a string "Event Log". GetServiceDisplayNameW(hsvcm, L"eventlog", NULL, &size); returns with 9 for the size and returns with the string "Event Log". Go figure. To me it seems they messed up with the conversion from Widechar to ASCII when needing to calculate the needed size. Unless they use some other function than WideCharToMultiByte() it couldn't be for avoiding an extra buffer allocation since WideCharToMultiByte() specifically states that the input and output buffer can not be the same pointer. Maybe that native NTDLL provides a lower level Unicode -> ASCII conversion that does allow for overlapping buffers. Then this strange behaviour could make sense when implementing the A function on top of the W function as it would avoid one temporary buffer allocation for the conversion. Our implementation currently directly accesses the according registry API to read the string so the actual Unicode conversion happens in the registry API. While we certainly could hack our ASCII fucntion to behave exactly as the Windows one I do not see any reason to do so. For any properly implemented application it will cause unnecessary memory allocations only and for the others it won't make any difference. And all this also leaves the problem of localization using different strings for the display name so checking for an explicit string length simply won't work, which was your main criticisme here in the beginning.

On my XP SP2 it returns 1 as size when passed an empty service name. Also failing here is a bit ambigeuos since the dunction also fails when a NULL pointer is passed or the buffer is to small, but it does change the size into what it expects in these two cases. ...and msdn is wrong a lot, but that doesn't mean the check is right.

No test function in registry.c returns BOOL, and to save you some time replying, set_privileges is not a test function. It's a helper function. >+ok(size, "size should be returned!"); > >And what is the size? Tests are supposed to be exact.

The display name is possibly translated. Also, on XP SP2 the A function returns the size in ASCI chars that the W function will need in bytes. Not a behaviour I feel Wine should imitate without an app that would need that behaviour. Huh? The function, A or W, returns the number of TCHARS. What behavior should wine not imitate? We don't ignore expected behavior just because we doubt an app will depend on it, especiallly a behavior that is so common. I'll be gone for two weeks for vacation.

This is a bad test. According to msdn, GetServiceDisplayName does not
modify lpcchBuffer on error, so size should be exactly 0.
+static BOOL test_service_info(SC_HANDLE hscm)
test functions are void, not BOOL. You're never going to do anything
but return, and there's no value to check by the caller.
+ok(size, "size should be returned!");
And what is the size? Tests are supposed to be exact. If our
implementation is incorrect, and we return size as 39491, that's
certainly not correct, but this test won't fail when it should.
+static BOOL test_service_enum(SC_HANDLE hscm)
+{
+return 0;
+}
Please don't add dead code.
