Valgrind results for Oct 9: still lots of hangs
by Dan Kegel 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Results for today's git (plus my dde patch) are online at http://kegel.com/wine/valgrind/20071109/ ole32/tests/marshall.c has always been hanging when run under valgrind. In the last two days, the following additional tests hang under valgrind: mshtml/tests/dom.c mshtml/tests/htmldoc.c ole32/tests/marshal.c shdocvw/tests/webbrowser.c I can reproduce one hang with cd dlls/mshtml/tests make testclean wineserver -k RUNTEST_USE_VALGRIND=1 make test (with the wine-vg-utils.patch I provide. Make by itself does not behave well under valgrind, so you can't just do "valgrind make test"). Sadly, I don't have time to do a regression test, but it's pretty easy to repeat my results. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_and_Valgrind It'd be nice if somebody else verified that these hangs occur for them too, that they didn't occur with wine-0.9.48, and maybe did a regression test to find out when they started... - Dan

%fs, %gs on AROS hosted
by Staf Verhaegen 11 Nov '07

11 Nov '07

Hello wine developers, I am an AROS developer (http://www.aros.org) that is an open source implementation of the old AmigaOS. It has also the possiblity to run hosted on other OSes and is thus very similar to wine. I know that this group is for wine posts but I think I could reuse much of the knowledge gained by the wine developers for AROS. Recently there has been discussion about the use of the %fs and %gs segment for AROS purposes and thus also for the hosted version. As wine also has to handle these registers, I am interested to know how wine handles these registers. Or doesn't wine have to take these registers into account ? I did download the 0.9.48 source code of wine and I only did find some places where a proper saving and restoring of these registers was done. Is there something I am overlooking ? Currently wine seems to run on the following platforms: Linux version 2.0.36 or above FreeBSD 6.2 or later Solaris x86 2.5 or later NetBSD-current Mac OS X 10.4 or later I found almost no OS specific code for each of the architectures in the source. Are there special precautions to be taken in one of these OSes to be able to use the segment register in user land code ? My last question is related to an AROS version hosted on Windows. Would Windows put any restrictions on the use of the segment registers for this purpose. Is there a difference between 32bit and 64bit ? thanks, Staf.

What the hell is up with searching google for wine-devel and wine-patches posts?
by Steven Edwards 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hi, I guess this issue is more directed at Dan and the rest of the google guys we have lurking here but has anyone else noticed how hard it is to do a google search for discussions on wine-devel or look for patches that have been submitted? I used to just be able to search as follows wine-patches Steven Edwards and see every patch I ever submitted to wine. Ditto for most threads on wine-devel. This is really getting to be a pain for me because I need to be able to search for patches that might not have been merged in but still have merit for some of my customers. Thanks -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

Linux/Windows app connection, how?
by Joshua Scholar 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I really want to have some way to communicate between a Linux program and a Windows program running under WINE. The connection doesn't need to be high speed, a stream is fine - I'm just sending some unicode text. I'm writing both programs myself, so I can implement this in the easiest way, though if there was some way to create and call a Windows COM object from Linux, that would be the most direct solution... But reading what I can about WINE, I'm guessing that the only easy thing to do is to write a Windows server application with winegcc and either connect to it through a socket - or to have it spawn a Linux application that it has a stream to. But I need some sample code to know how to do this, since I don't have too much time to experiment. Just to make it clear why I'm doing this - I have some wonderful TTS voices (Neospeech's SAPI5 Japanese voices) installed in WINE and I need to be able to invoke them from a Linux program. Thanks in advance for any pointers, Joshua Scholar

alsa->pulseaudio->alsa directsound hang
by Al Tobey 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

I spent some time this evening playing around with trying to get wine sound output to go through pulseaudio on my fc8/rawhide (x86_64) box. I tried wine 0.9.43 (built), 0.9.47 (fc8 rpm), and Crossover 6.2.0. I was testing with Steam/TF2, but found that the same issue comes up with a install of Winamp Lite using its default DirectSound output plugin. If I configure nothing and let wine grab the soundcard (I have an Audigy, so it allows multiple streams), it works fine. If I configure it to use pulseaudio through the alsa plugin, it hangs. I see the stream show up in the pulseaudio volume control, but nothing plays and winamp's meter and progress bar are inactive. The "Test Sound" button in winecfg works and shows up in pavucontrol as a mono stream. I've tried numerous variations on emulation and bitrates with no change. I didn't have any luck getting the ESD support (which would go straight to PA) to even show up in winecfg, even after forcing it in regedit. I probably missed something obvious. I'll do some more debugging tomorrow, but I thought I'd throw my config out there for others to experiment with and ridicule. There isn't much out on Google about this kind of config yet, but I expect there will be more requests as the popularity of pulseaudio goes up, especially with the release of fc8. I think the latest Ubuntu has it enabled by default, too. Did anybody actually write a patch to directly support pulseaudio or was the earlier discussion devoid of code? My registry mods and .asoundrc for using the alsa/pulseaudio plugin are attached. Getting pulseaudio is left as an exercise to the reader ;) Thanks, -Al

CryptAcquireContext Failure, default/Type 024 requested
by Rob Seger 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

Wine currently supports types 001 and 012, but I have a new game attempting to use type 024 (Software\\Microsoft\\Cryptography\\Defaults \\Provider Types\\Type 024). I've googled, as well as searched MSDN, for a reference as to what the crypt provider type 024 even is with no success. Does anyone know? Looking through the advapi32.dll code, this looks like it might be a serious undertaking to implement. Is that estimation accurate? Does anyone have any tips or pointers about implementing an entire CSP in wine? I appreciate any help, keep up the good work all! Rob
