Description keystuffs 2007年08月16日 08:16:12 UTC

Sometimes the value returned from the registry in corrupted.
Ex:
 writefln(Registry.classesRoot().getKey(".txt").getValue("").value_SZ());
 Display "☺ ile" instead of "txtfile".
 writefln(Registry.classesRoot().getKey(".rar").getValue("").value_SZ());
 Display "☺ AR" instead of "WinRAR".
But:
 writefln(Registry.classesRoot().getKey(".html").getValue("").value_SZ());
 Display "htmlfile".
I tried others keys and it seems that if the length of the value is less than 8, the value returned is corrupted.

Sounds like a duplicate of Bug 961.

I was able to fix this bug:
in the function Reg_QueryValue_, I just added a .dup
 case REG_VALUE_TYPE.REG_EXPAND_SZ:
 value = std.string.toString(cast(char*)data);
 value = value.dup; // fix the bug.
 break;
