This means there should be only a single remove_io_completion request, and the wait should be done with a standard WaitForSingleObject. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Usage of FAR in libraries
by Vincent Béron 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

How are we supposed to handle includes from other libs (while compiling Wine) which use FAR? I don't like the idea of #undef FAR, then #include, then #undef FAR and #define FAR do_not_use_this_in_wine. Somebody have a better idea? This prevents proper compilation on Fedora Core 1 for now (when openssl is used), because the krb5 includes use FAR. Vincent

mailman list problems
by Jeremy Newman 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

Hey all, just dropping a note about the recent inactivity on the list. Apparently mailman has a bug where a spam with a malformatted header can crash the queue processing. This is easy enough to fix, just delete the offending message from the queue. It happened for a second time in a week now. Just thought I'd let you all know. -- Jeremy Newman <jnewman(a)codeweavers.com> CodeWeavers, Inc.

Regression on ntdll:map_image function
by Carlos Lozano 11 Nov '03

Hello, The patch: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2003/11/0011.html >Fixed type and protection values returned by NtQueryVirtualMemory to >be closer to what Windows does. >Allow using MEM_SYSTEM without MEM_RESERVE to avoid 64k alignment. >Use pread instead of lseek+read when faking mmap Made what the "Hot potatoes" program installer doesn't work. http://web.uvic.ca/hrd/halfbaked/winhotpot60_beta.zip Now when you run the installer, it says in a dialog: "Access violation at address 0040C54A. Write of address 00400000" The problem happens in this line of the patch: - if (!(view = VIRTUAL_CreateView( ptr, total_size, 0, VPROT_COMMITTED|VPROT_READ, hmapping ))) + if (!(view = VIRTUAL_CreateView( ptr, total_size, 0, + VPROT_COMMITTED | VPROT_READ | VPROT_WRITE | + VPROT_EXEC | VPROT_WRITECOPY | VPROT_IMAGE, hmapping ))) It works fine, if you remove the flags VPROT_WRITE and VPROT_WRITECOPY.

re: Potential forum at linuxquestions.org
by Dan Kegel 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

It's a myth that mailing lists are outdated. The web-based forums and wikis people are advocating all have their own drawbacks IMHO. Why not simply point people to http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel and/or news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.devel (or maybe even http://groups.google.com/groups?group=comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine) and be done with it? I detest the idea of using a klunky web forum; they're usually poorly-indexed, and every one has a different interface; I'd rather use the standard mail/news interface, or at least a standard web gateway like groups.google.com or news.gmane.org. Do try the gmane gateway for a while before deciding to chuck it all and go the infantile web forum route. - Dan

Re: copy protection - was: Re: Is it time for playing games on WINE?
by Ann and Jason Edmeades 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

[Ever had the feeling you regret asking a question...] Possibly another question for Alexander then - Realistically do you believe that we can ever support copy protection, and if so how? If we can work out how to load the driver in question (which remember is safedisk specific, there's others) then are we ok to put dodgy hacks in wine to ensure the driver gets the results it is expecting? Possibly a follow on question then is how are we supposed to work out what the driver is expecting, ie is debugging it a way to go? Sorry, not being obstructive - I want to stick the the techically achievable goals. Jason

I'm currently still sharing my time on Wine between the unicows thingy and revamping the BiDi support. The idea I had, for which I cannot state whether it's feasible or not, is to get the mapping from XKB, and prepare a list (group 0 - US, group 1 - IL, group 2 - RU). Then, whenever we get a "next group" or "prev group", just send out the proper messages. This way, we can also switch keyboard language at an application's whim (I actually have a small snippet of code that does that, if your'e interested). As far as I see it, using "setxkbmap" with a new layout is akin to entering the keyboard control panel applet and changing the layout, rather than to using "alt-shift". I fully understand that some applications do that anyhow. In particular, KDE's keyboard switching is based on calling setxkbmap. I think that would still work (though it may send an "settingschanged" message). Anyhow, your current code (which I have not dived into, yet) should probably go in. It seems to prepare important infrastructure for handling keyboard languages by the X11 driver.
