O.P. [?] RtlMoveMemory: file not found
Hi folks,

I'm trying to move a string from pointer A to B. The debugger states that an exception has occurred while executing RtlMoveMemory, without any specific information. Interop.GetLastError() returns 2, which means a specified file is not found. I don't see what files have to do with moving memory data.

Can anyone help me on this one?

Care to paste full code? :P (including the GetLastError part)

Javascript code:
var ptrA = Interop.Allocate(4);
var s = 'this is some text';
var ptrA_string = Interop.Allocate(2*s.length+2)
    ptrA_string.WriteString(0, s);
    ptrA.WriteDWORD(0, ptrA_string.DataPtr);
var ptrB = Interop.Allocate(4);
 
Interop.Call('kernel32', 'RtlMoveMemory', ptrB, ptrA, 4);
 
Debug.Trace(ptrB.ReadString(0));

JScript code:
var PagePtr = lParam;
if(PagePtr === 0) {
    Internet(Script.WebURL);
    return API_SUCCESS;
}
var Size = lParam;
var oPage = Interop.Allocate(Size);
Interop.Call("Kernel32.dll","RtlMoveMemory",oPage.DataPtr,PagePtr,Size);
TraceWin32Error();

Well, you're taking lParam for PagePtr's use and Size's use, I guess one should be wParam.

And matty, a 4-byte DataBloc can not hold "this is some text", which is a couple dozen bytes.

Is there a reason that you're using RtlMoveMemory rather than RtlCopyMemory? 

If the two buffers don't overlap (which they don't)  you should not be using RtlMoveMemory.

I didn't realize that API existed... learned something new today.

There is.

I use this system for communication between two different scripts. RtlCopyMemory would mean lots of extra memory management to prevent leaks. Let me put it this way:

Script A sends a pointer to script B. Script B is now responsible for handling that pointer, to relieve script A (the contents of the pointer will most likely be stored in a variable). Script B then destroys the pointer (allocated by the Interop object) when it's no longer needed.

Using RtlCopyMemory would mean extra work for script A.
