buffer too small for currency
by Fabian Cenedese 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hi I get this warning when I try to start a basic program. This comes from the function VARIANT_GetLocalisedNumberChars. I added some printfs and found that my currency is apparently "SFr.", so 4 chars plus zero which is too much for the 4 char buffer. Strange though that on the command line it looks differently: locale -k LC_MONETARY int_curr_symbol="CHF " currency_symbol="Fr." mon_decimal_point="." mon_thousands_sep=" " mon_grouping=3;3 ... Anyway, I thought I increase this buffer. But then the string gets stored in two separate variables (each one char) in the VARIANT_NUMBER_CHARS struct. Is there a reason that this is not a string? Why only two chars? Thanks bye Fabi

Of course, but I can only write a test if I know what to test/what the results should be, that's why I'm asking... bye Fabi

Hi Boaz, I've looked at the potato-factory, and to be honest I don't like the interface. The very fact that I have to logon before I can see anything makes it fairly useless for me. Now, before and put in too much infrastructure, I think we can start small as follows: -- have people submit material to wine-devel -- various folks (volunteers needed) will collect them and post them in a nice, orderly manner to a special area (TBD) on WineHQ This has the advantage of being a lot more controlled, and I'm sure the editorial review will pay off. If the volume becomes too big, we can consider in the future to automate the process. But until then, I think the manual approach is better. -- Dimi.

Mixing native and bulitin DLL (MSVCRT)
by Uwe Bonnes 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hallo, I am trying to debug a problem with builtin MSVCRT. Is there any easy way to deviate calls from builtin msvcrt to native msvcrt. At present I have renamed native msvcrt in the wine system directory. Then in the builtin msvcrt I call a function and for that function I do a LoadLibrary(<renamed native msvcrt>) and a GetProcAddress(hinstofrenamendmsvcrt,<original function) to finally call that procedure. I experimented with the forwards in the spec file, but didn't succeed. Is there any easier way?

Winedbg that catches exception raised in IsBadReadPtr
by Christian Costa 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hi, Winedbg catches the exception raised and handled in a __TRY/__EXCEPT/__ENTRY statement in the IsBadReadPtr function. Is it a normal behaviour? And if yes how can I disable it? Without Winedbg everything is fine. Thanks in advance, Bye, Christian

rebar issues
by Matt Chapman 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hi, I'm having some rebar issues with a particular application (Canon File Viewer Utility). The rebar is meant to look something like: |0--------------- |1------|2---| |3------|4------|5------|6------ | (and there are some extra hidden bands) Instead in wine the result is: |0--------------- ||| |3------ |||| with the remaining bands having 0-size child windows (and there's important functionality in those bands). The minimum sizes provided by the application seem to be right. The application then requests maximisation of 0,3,4,5,6 in that order, which isn't implemented in WINE so that should not do anything, but I'd still expect the minimum sizes to be honoured. The output of wine --debugmsg +rebar is at: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~matthewc/rebar.gz (62K) I'm currently trying to understand the source, but if anyone is familiar with the rebar and has any suggestions that would be much appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Re: Fix compile of programs/winedbg/elf.c on NetBSD 1.6

Hence the fix is wrong (even if by change STN_UNDEF and SHN_UNDEF both are defined as 0) So, I'd rather suggest something (at the top of the file) as #ifndef STN_UNDEF # define STN_UNDEF 0 #endif A+

Big hex numbers negative?
by Fabian Cenedese 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hi While testing more variant functions I tried this on Windows: double dVal; OLECHAR test1[]={'&', 'H', '8', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '\0'}; ok=VarR8FromStr(test1, LANG_NEUTRAL, NUMPRS_STD, &dVal); The result for dVal was -2147483648. But as a real value it shouldn't have any problems holding the "real" value 2147483648. So why has it become negative? Is it because the source form was a hex number? Are all hex numbers automatically signed if converted to int/real? Or just because of the 32nd bit? The documentation wasn't that informative. (The funny thing though was this remark in my VC6 help, it's not in the online version of MSDN anymore: Passing into this function any invalid and, under some circumstances, NULL pointers will result in unexpected termination of the application. For more information about handling exceptions, see Programming Considerations. ...now I understand many things :) Thanks bye Fabi

how to connect to com object "outside" from wine?
by maman yonatan 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

Hi (I'm new in that group and don't know much about wine, so I'm sorry in advance if my question is in-proper) Here is my problem: I wrote in windows com object, and registered it in wine using regsv32 utility. I also wrote a com client application. When I executed the client code using Wine, all was just OK, and the client successfully make a reference to the server and activated It. :-) my question is there any way to write a client on the native (Linux) using g++ and activation the com object? does it make a difference if the com object id a dll, exe, or ocx ? 10x Yonatan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: crosstest compile fix (another)

We would come a long way >> if testers instead could install the Windows service (not yet written) >> that downloads >> the latest crosstest EXE from winehq and runs it. Speaking of which, SourceForge seems like the ideal way to build nightly Winetests by using their compile farm. I've been trying to get access to it for a few days in order to figure that out. All of the pieces seem to fit together and the only unknown is whether or not they have mingw on their servers. Does anyone else have any suggestions how we could create nightly builds? -brian
