Currently I'm using GetFileSizeEx to track how large a log files gets before I write to it. We have limited space and anything if we try to create a file larger than 100 megabytes we stop logging data. The problem is for some reason GetFileSizeEx will corrupt the file handle that I am using.
if( hFileHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE && hFileHandle != NULL )
{
asDbgMsg = asDbgMsg + asDelimeter;
dwBytesToWrite =asDbgMsg.Length();
pWrtBuffer = asDbgMsg.c_str();
// Get the file size we are about to write to.
PLARGE_INTEGER lpFileSize;
GetFileSizeEx(hFileHandle, lpFileSize);
// Don't write out the file if it is more than 100 mb!
if(lpFileSize->QuadPart < 104857600)
{
WriteFile( hFileHandle, pWrtBuffer, dwBytesToWrite, &dwBytesWritten, NULL );
}
}
hFileHandle will go from a normal value (00000EB8) to ???? in Rad studio's debugger.
Now I've solved this by using the GetFileSize function instead:
if( hFileHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE && hFileHandle != NULL )
{
asDbgMsg = asDbgMsg + asDelimeter;
dwBytesToWrite =asDbgMsg.Length();
pWrtBuffer = asDbgMsg.c_str();
// Get the file size we are about to write too.
DWORD test;
GetFileSize(hFileHandle, &test);
// Don't write out the file if it is more than 100 mb!
if(test < 104857600)
{
WriteFile( hFileHandle, pWrtBuffer, dwBytesToWrite, &dwBytesWritten, NULL );
}
}
However, I'd rather not use the non-extended function. I've deleted the file to ensure no other process has a lock on it, but it still has an issue when its created the file. I should note that this error does not happen under builder 6, only Rad Studio 2010.
Thank you for the help.
Try using LARGE_INTEGER instead of PLARGE_INTEGER. Normally PLARGE_INTEGER is a pointer, not a value.
