Writing an interactive test
by Andrew Riedi 06 May '07

06 May '07

I would like to know if there is a way to write an interactive test for my cursor code (will add it to dlls/d3d9/tests). The biggest problem I am having is trying to keep a window drawn. Of course I could use sleep(), but then that soft-freezes my computer. I would like to make it part of our test-suite if possible. Perhaps I should use some sort of loop? Anyhow, thanks for any response. -- Andrew Riedi

Newbie question: WineLib DLLs
by Christian Eggers 05 May '07

05 May '07

Hello, I've created a (very) simple wine dll as described in "Building WineLib DLLs". This dll is a wrapper for the "ct-api" interface used for chipcard readers [1]. With this dll it's possible to use HBCI chipcards (for german online banking, [2]) together with Windows homebanking applications (for example "StarMoney", [3]). Usage: card reader - ct-api driver (hw specific) - symlink (libctapi.so) - wine dll - Windows application Problem: The dll is linked against an external (non-wine) shared lib. How can my dll be integrated in wine without forcing other users to get the external library in order to compile wine?

RE: [PATCH 3/3] winex11: Use TINN algorithm to speed up colour lookups.

Fortunately you can get rid of them and use integers instead. Because you never use the distance in the calculations, but only to compare against other distances, you can skip "sqrt" and just compare squares, as the original code does. That will give you even more speed improvements. Few more nitpicks about this and other patches in the series: > +static int compare_distance(const void *left, const void *right) > +{ > + const struct tinn *l = left; > + const struct tinn *r = right; Please don't use void pointers. Use typed pointers, especially that you cast them to a hard-coded type. > +const void *init_tinn(struct tinn *dest, const void *buf, size_t num, > + size_t size, float (*distance)(const void *, const void *)) > +{ > + size_t i; > + size_t ref = rand() % num; I'm not so sure using random reference point really necessary. > +static struct tinn tinnPalette[256]; > + This won't work well with multi-threaded apps. You probably should make it on the stack for each X11DRV_DIB_SetImageBits_* function. Especially that some need only 2 elements. Btw, how big of the gain/loss whill there be for 1-bit and 4-bit DIBs? > + q.rgbRed = srcval.peRed; > + q.rgbGreen = srcval.peGreen; > + q.rgbBlue = srcval.peBlue; Looks much better, if written as: q = srcval; > - ((srcval >> 7) & 0xf8) | /* r */ > - ((srcval >> 12) & 0x07), > - ((srcval >> 2) & 0xf8) | /* g */ > - ((srcval >> 7) & 0x07), > - ((srcval << 3) & 0xf8) | /* b */ > - ((srcval >> 2) & 0x07) ) << (7-(x&7)) ); > + > + q.rgbRed = ((srcval >> 7) & 0xf8) | > + ((srcval >> 12) & 0x07); > + q.rgbGreen = ((srcval >> 2) & 0xf8) | > + ((srcval >> 7) & 0x07); > + q.rgbBlue = ((srcval << 3) & 0xf8) | > + ((srcval >> 2) & 0x07); What happened to the comments and alignment?

Ahhh, I understood!!! You test does not return codepage back to 866. My version of your test does it. Far Manager somehow checks codepage and converts characters accordingly. I've removed the last convertion back to cp866 and observed the same behaviur as you. Thus, I can proclaim WriteConsoleA buggy. -- Kirill

USB device support in wine
by Jon Burgess 05 May '07

05 May '07

Hi, I have found some talk of implementing USB device support in wine in this list some time ago (2005), but as far as I know, nothing ever came of it. I would perhaps be interested in getting this going again, as I have an application (Serato Scratch Live: http://www.rane.com/scratch.html) for which the software appears to run ok under wine (not that I am able to test much of its functionality on the other hand), but is utterly useless without support for its associated USB hardware device. Any ideas, or anyone else who would be interested in helping me? Regards, Jono

Linuxworld San Francisco?
by Dan Kegel 04 May '07

04 May '07

Is anyone going to Linuxworld, August 6-9 in San Francisco? A guy working on a possible large migration said he'd be there, and was wondering if there's going to be a Wine BOF. I might go just to chat with him. Also, I see no Wine-related talks on the program. http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/events/12SFO07A/conference/tracks If all the great stuff I expect actually happens this summer, there's going to be a lot to talk about, seems like a good year for a Wine talk there...?
