Wiki

03 Nov '03

Hi, Is there a Wine wiki anywhere? If not, I think there should be, I'm always coming across random useful bits of info that it makes sense to note down somewhere, but writing and submitting a patch against the Wine Docbook sources is too much effort (or it doesn't fit neatly into a category). Would it be possible to run one on WineHQ? Jeremy? thanks -mike

This really sounds like something that won't be maintained or contain enough information to be useful. Lots of folks spent a lot of time over the past year consolidating docs and cleaning everything up. Lots of developers don't even take the time to write up an email on this stuff, I can't imagine putting a web interface on it would change that. -brian

Hi Alexandre, What was wrong with this patch? I guess you want it in a separate debug channel, yes?

What happend to "search" on WineHQ
by Boaz Harrosh 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I go to WineHQ.org(com) and type "wine" in the "Search WineHQ" text box (bottom right of the page) press "enter" and I get: No matches were found for 'wine' ... (same for any word) Well I think I do remember that it use to work. Even when it did work it did not search the forum archives. Why is that? Free Life Boaz

Re: PATCH: tools/winegcc/utils.c -- casts

I came across this function recently, and do not agree with its logic. I would write it like char *strmake(const char *fmt, ...) { int n; size_t size = 100; char *p = xmalloc (size+1); va_list ap; va_start (ap, fmt); n = vsnprintf (p, size, fmt, ap); while (n < 0) { size *= 2; p = xrealloc (p, size+1); n = vsnprintf (p, size, fmt, ap); } if ((size_t)n == size) p[size]=0; va_end (ap); return p; } By the way, either Wine's snprintf implementation is wrong or I do not know how to use it correctly. I am submitting a conformance test... -- Feri.

Crash in dlls/comctl32/treeview.c
by Dmitry Timoshkov 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hello all, I've got a crash in Excel running a custom VB script. A crash log with +treeview is attached. As I see it, TVM_SORTCHILDREN causes firstVisible to become NULL, and on next TVM_SETITEMA message, TREEVIEW_UpdateScrollBars is called, which dereferences infoPtr->firstVisible, which is NULL. I'm not sure whether attached patch is correct or not, but it fixes a crash in Excel. The patch simply prevents TREEVIEW_Sort from setting infoPtr->firstVisible to NULL. Treeview gurus out there any comments? -- Dmitry.

Trillian hangs under wine
by Nikolay Sukharev 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I am trying to make Trillian work under wine. It works fine up to the point where I try to drag its window. Then it hangs and I even need to switch to the text mode shell to be able to kill wine processes. The error says : err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x40ef98c0 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 000d, retrying (60 sec) Time:973746 Some research showed me that thread 0009 is trying to poll for new window messages while thread 000d is calling GetCursorPos. The GetCursorPos eventually results in a X11 call and it looks like this call never returns. I built wine from the wine-20031016 sources. I would appreciate if somebody can give my an insight what might be wrong here or where to look. Thanks, Nick Below is the backtrace from winedbg: Thread 0009: =>0 0x401116eb (MSVCRT.DLL.strftime+0x3684b in libc.so.6) (ebp=40850c5c) 1 0x401e227b (NTDLL_wait_for_multiple_objects+0x14f(count=0x0, handles=0x0, flags=0x8, timeout=0x40850d10) [sync.c:1662] in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=40850cf8) 2 0x401e0b05 (usr1_handler+0x49(__signal=0xa, __context=0x0) [signal_i386.c:1164] in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=40850d1c) 3 0x400644f8 (MSVCRT.DLL.frexp+0xb98 in libc.so.6) (ebp=40961da8) 4 0x401e227b (NTDLL_wait_for_multiple_objects+0x14f(count=0x1, handles=0x40961e94, flags=0xc, timeout=0x40961eb8) [sync.c:1662] in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=40961e44) 5 0x401e22f8 (NTDLL.DLL.NtWaitForMultipleObjects+0x50 in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=40961e6c) 6 0x401e232d (NtWaitForSingleObject+0x25(handle=0x88, alertable=0x0, timeout=0x40961eb8) [sync.c:616] in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=40961e8c) 7 0x401c942e (RtlpWaitForCriticalSection+0xfe(crit=0x40ef98c0) [critsection.c:197] in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=40961f20) 8 0x401c963b (RtlEnterCriticalSection+0x77(crit=0x40ef98c0) [critsection.c:1664] in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=40961f40) 9 0x40edd5ff (wine_tsx11_lock+0x4f [x11drv_main.c:167] in x11drv.dll.so) (ebp=40961f68) 10 0x40eceb9d (process_events+0x21(data=0x40321ea0) [event.c:153] in x11drv.dll.so) (ebp=40961fe0) 11 0x40ececf2 (X11DRV_MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx+0xfe(count=0x1, handles=0x4036250c, timeout=0xffffffff, mask=0x0, flags=0x0) [event.c:195] in x11drv.dll.so) (ebp=40962108) 12 0x40a42509 (GetMessageW+0x195(msg=0x40962288, hwnd=0x0, first=0x100, last=0x20d) [message.c:2363] in user32.dll.so) (ebp=409621b4) 13 0x40edc332 (X11DRV_SysCommandSizeMove+0x3ba(hwnd=0x1002e, wParam=0xf012) [winpos.c:2005] in x11drv.dll.so) (ebp=409622b4) 14 0x40a19c0c (NC_HandleSysCommand+0xb0(hwnd=0x1002e, wParam=0xf012, lParam=0xb0374) [nonclient.c:2152] in user32.dll.so) (ebp=409622e0) 15 0x40a0a70c (DEFWND_DefWinProc+0x834(hwnd=0x1002e, msg=0x112, wParam=0xf012, lParam=0xb0374) [defwnd.c:534] in user32.dll.so) (ebp=40962374) 16 0x40a0abd0 (DefWindowProcA+0x94(hwnd=0x1002e, msg=0x112, wParam=0xf012, lParam=0xb0374) [defwnd.c:863] in user32.dll.so) (ebp=409623a0) 17 0x1001d744 (TOOLKIT.DLL.getMinorVersion+0x1ca4 in TOOLKIT.DLL) (ebp=40a28474) 18 0x0c75ff02 (trillian.exe..rsrc+0xc32bf02) (ebp=6ae58955) Thread 000d: =>0 0x401116eb (MSVCRT.DLL.strftime+0x3684b in libc.so.6) (ebp=42750c5c) 1 0x401e227b (NTDLL_wait_for_multiple_objects+0x14f(count=0x0, handles=0x0, flags=0x8, timeout=0x42750d10) [sync.c:1662] in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=42750cf8) 2 0x401e0b05 (usr1_handler+0x49(__signal=0xa, __context=0x0) [signal_i386.c:1164] in ntdll.dll.so) (ebp=42750d1c) 3 0x400644f8 (MSVCRT.DLL.frexp+0xb98 in libc.so.6) (ebp=42872190) 4 0x40f53a07 (_end+0x59037 in libX11.so.6) (ebp=428721c0) 5 0x40f5454d (_end+0x59b7d in libX11.so.6) (ebp=42872200) 6 0x40f4a36b (_end+0x4f99b in libX11.so.6) (ebp=42872240) 7 0x40ed6162 (TSXQueryPointer+0x36(a0=0x3c089440, a1=0x93, a2=0x428722a0, a3=0x428722a4, a4=0x428722a8, a5=0x428722ac, a6=0x428722b0, a7=0x428722b4, a8=0x428722b8) [ts_xlib.c:480] in x11drv.dll.so) (ebp=42872274) 8 0x40ed3ede (X11DRV_GetCursorPos+0x56(pos=0x42872314) [mouse.c:529] in x11drv.dll.so) (ebp=428722c4) 9 0x40a0f5d7 (GetCursorPos+0x47(pt=0x42872314) [input.c:479] in user32.dll.so) (ebp=428722d4) 10 0x4186d288 (EVENTS.DLL.setSkin+0x48 in EVENTS.DLL) (ebp=00000000) Small exerpt from the custom trace I used. trace:vasya:wine_tsx11_unlock 0009:*** BEFORE LEAVE CR.SEC.

Re: Dll downloading (again)

Good point. Efficiency is important, and my previous script had a lot of unnecessary repeating. I've rewritten it to be shorter and sweeter (and not have 6 if-thens in a row!) #!/bin/bash # Script for DLL downloading if [ "$compress" <> 'tar' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'tar.gzip' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'zip' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'none' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'tar.bzip2' ] then { echo "Compression format not supported. Exiting." exit 3 } if [ "$compress" == 'none' ] then { $compress = 'dll' } wget -P /var/tmp "$server"/"$serverpath"/"$dllname"."$compress" if [ "$compress" == 'tar.gz' ] then { gzip -d /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar.gz rm /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar.gz } if [ "$compress" == 'tar.bz2' ] then { bzip2 -d /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar.bz2 rm /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar.bz2 } if [ "$compress" <> 'zip' ] and if [ "$compress" <> 'dll' ] then { tar -x -k -f /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar rm /var/tmp/"$dllname".tar } if [ "$compress" == 'zip' ] then { unzip -n /var/tmp/"$dllname".zip -d /var/tmp rm /var/tmp/"$dllname".zip } cp /var/tmp/"$dllname".dll "$dest"/"$dllname".dll exit 0 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
