hello all i'm sorry if this is a bit off topic... i'm involved in a study of the evolution of wine, based on its releases: so far i tried to collect what i could find on the web, but some of the earliest points i'm still missing: maybe somebody involved in the development of wine still has these oldest releases? i'll be glad to illustrate the research if (anybody) interested Andrea At 15:54, mercoledì 30 novembre 2005, wine-devel-request(a)winehq.org wrote: > Send wine-devel mailing list submissions to > wine-devel(a)winehq.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wine-devel-request(a)winehq.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wine-devel-owner(a)winehq.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of wine-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

by Vitaliy Margolen 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Is it possible to dereference a pointer in winedbg? Help says that "*$eax" is a valid expression. But when I'm trying to use it it saying: Wine-dbg>p *$eax No type or type mismatch Is there are a way to do this? -- Best regards, Vitaliy

Debugging Critical Section lockups
by David D. Hagood 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

I may have a repeatable case of an error in locking critical sections, so I'd like some pointers as to how to debug this. The case occurs with the installer for Delorme Street Atlas 5 - on my 2GHz Athlon desktop it runs without a hitch, but on my oooooold slow laptop (how old is it? It's sooooo old, it used PIO for the disk!) the program locks up 100% of the time at startup, with 2 threads trying to take different critical section locks and dying. It looks like the standard deadlock condition: one thread tries to lock A-B-C, the other tries to lock A-C-B, and so they deadlock. Are there any tricks to identifying who locked what where and in what order?

Did you check out that flow control is handled correctly from the Olivetti printer. I have had this happen in the past and in every case I found that either I was using the wrong flow control or not taking it into account.

Incompatible behavior of InvalidateRect/LB_SELITEMRANGE/SetCapture
by Andreas Rosenberg 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi! >From time to time I'm testing our application (IQ-FMEA) with Wine. Our GUI framework is checking the return codes of most API calls, so several incompatibilities between Windows and Wine are detected while many other programs simply ignore them. So I found several things that differ between Wine & Windows. ############################# 1.) If found out that InvalidateRect with a "zero extent rectangle" returns FALSE with Wine, while it returns TRUE in Windows. Wine builds from last year did not show this behavior. Windows: InvalidateRect(hwnd, RECT(10,10,10,15), TRUE); returns TRUE; Wine InvalidateRect(hwnd, RECT(10,10,10,15), TRUE); returns FALSE; ------------- Wine 20040914 BOOL WINAPI RedrawWindow( HWND hwnd, const RECT *rectUpdate, HRGN hrgnUpdate, UINT flags ) ... return TRUE; } Wine 20050930 ... ret = redraw_window_rects( hwnd, flags, rect, 1 ); ... return ret; } static BOOL redraw_window_rects( HWND hwnd, UINT flags, const RECT *rects, UINT count ) { BOOL ret; SERVER_START_REQ( redraw_window ) { req->window = hwnd; req->flags = flags; wine_server_add_data( req, rects, count * sizeof(RECT) ); ret = !wine_server_call_err( req ); } SERVER_END_REQ; return ret; #################### 2.) Then I discovered an incompatibility with LB_SELITEMRANGE: SendMessage(hWndControl,LB_SELITEMRANGE,TRUE, MAKELPARAM(wFirst, wLast)); Windows accepts values for wLast that are greater than the list size and performs the operation with the (internally corrected) value - returning TRUE. Wine does not accept a value for wLast if it is greater than the list size and returns FALSE (not performing the select operation, which caused subsequent failures in our application). #################### 3.) There is also a different behavior of SetCapture(hWnd) in Wine. If an overlapped window has captured the mouse input and a new child window is being openend, Windows internally releases the capture. Wine maintains the capture - dialogs in our application may not be operated with the mouse, because the parent still gets all the mouse messages. #################### I have to little knowledge about the wine server stuff to make a correct fix for issues 1 & 3. And I'm unsure about issue #2. It's a bug to pass to big values for wLast - but to be compatible with Windows, Wine should perform like Windows (perhaps log a warning?). Regards Andy

Does the Windows version of Mozilla need to be installed to use the Mozilla ActiveX plugin?
by David D. Hagood 30 Nov '05

Does the Windows version of Mozilla need to be in place for the Mozilla Active X control to work, or is there a way to point the control at my Linux install of Mozilla?
