            Bug ID: 56196
           Summary: Winelib DLLS using Wine APIs broken - constructor
                    issue?
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: loader
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
          Reporter: john.rogers(a)oracle.com
      Distribution: ---

The .L__wine_spec_import_data_ptrs table doesn't appear to be initialized
correctly starting in Wine 6 for winelib DLLs.  Simplest sample I could come up
with:

DLL source: (mydll.cpp)

#include <windows.h>

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HANDLE hModule, DWORD ul_reason, LPVOID lpReserved)
{
    return TRUE;
}

extern "C" {
void APIENTRY dllMethod(char *str)
{
    // Create msgbox
    int msgbox = MessageBox(NULL, str, "The Caption", 0);

    return;
}
}

SPEC file: (mydll.spec)

@ stdcall dllMethod(str)

Main EXE src: (main.c)

#include <windows.h>

extern void APIENTRY dllMethod(char *str);

// This function is the entry point for the program
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR
lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    // Create msgbox
    int msgbox = MessageBox(NULL, "Text 1", "The Caption", 0);
    dllMethod("**** Text 2 ****");
    msgbox = MessageBox(NULL, "Text 3", "The Caption", 0);

    return 0;
}


Compiled with following commands:

winegcc -m64 -shared -mwindows -o mydll.dll mydll.cpp mydll.spec
winegcc -m64 -mwindows main.c mydll.dll.so

If you do this with Wine 4.0.4, running "wine64 a.out.so" will step through the
3 message boxes.  If you do this with Wine 6 or greater, the first message box
will be displayed, then the app will crash.  The issue appears to be related to
changes made in April 2020 ("winebuild: Don't use a constructor for dll modules
either.") - the __wine_dll_register function appears to have been orphaned.

Unfortunately the PE conversion has made it necessary to break compatibility
with old Wine versions, so a Winelib binary built with Wine 4.0 is not going to
run on more recent Wine, it will need a rebuild.

That is essentially my question.  With the recompilation of this sample, I get
the crash.  Is there some other step that needs to be done to get the
.L__wine_spec_import_data_ptrs table initialized at runtime?  (The crash is the
result of the "jmp *.L__wine_spec_import_data_ptrs..." trampoline to the actual
implementation)

Ah sorry I misread the example. You'll need to load the library explicitly with
LoadLibrary, or import it at the Windows level by building an import library
for it.
