http://vmlinux.org/jakov/Wine/regrtest.exe Should now work on Win9x too. Works on ME at least.

Bugzilla bug #556
by Dave Miller 31 Aug '03

31 Aug '03

Bug 556 is "reconcile the windows and wine spec files." The point I think is make sure all windows APIs are listed, and listed correctly. I have a question... If a particular API has four different ordinals in four different windows versions, what goes in the spec file? You can see an example of what I mean here: http://24.229.94.2/cgi-bin/query.cgi?version=&status=&type=&ordinal=&api=SH… If the answer is simple enough I'll start working on the bug. On a slightly related note, I relied on the wine spec files to build the apidb. I'm getting the idea now this wasn't quite the right approach, and it says some APIs are exported by wine when in fact they are not. Should I have used the .spec.def file instead? ------------------------------------- So many Right-wing Christians. So few lions.

I really don't understand why we need the dual-purpose stuff. All we need to do is: -- make sure we have a GUI element for all settings in ~/.wine/config (how far are we from having this?) -- have loadConfig() initialize all these elements properly -- have saveConfig() do the saving, being a mirror image of loadConfig() (can't we unify them somehow so we have only one place to modify to add new values? [1]) -- when all this is done, just remove the code from server/registry.c:1475:init_registry() Am I missing something? [1] Maybe it's better to have a more descriptive structure detailing stuff for each value, and having generic loadConfig/saveConfig() methods that know how to walk said structure and do the right thing. This way we can easily do add all sorts of attributes to the configuration values and do all sort of nice things, like save only stuff that has been modified, automatically tie in the variable to the control, etc. -- Dimi.

Re: gethostbyname() feature.

Maybe you could write a regression test for this function?

Hereby I ask people who have access to real Windows machines So vmware won't do? (I think the answer is no because of directx (Not a problem for me to do a real install, just asking)).

LoadModule16 regression?
by Jukka Heinonen 30 Aug '03

30 Aug '03

After LoadModule16 was moved to dlls/kernel, it started to strip path from module name. This makes it impossible to execute DOS applications (and probably Win16 applications, too) unless you are in the same directory as the application. MSDN documentation on Win32 version of LoadModule states that path should not be stripped but I'm not sure how Win16 version is supposed to work. It probably uses different search order if path is not present, anyway. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

Bug in regrtest
by Jakob Eriksson 30 Aug '03

The tester runs on Win9X, but there is a bug that prevents it from running tests properly. I am working on it. Tested working on Windows NT so far. I will keep you posted. regards, Jakob
