[Re] Vertex pipeline replacement

Short feedback: - Max Payne 2: works as expected, I don't see any visual changes - Morrowind: 3D rendering breaks completly, minor (blending?) issues in the menu as well - however ingame scenes are fully black now How should I report this? Open a bug? Should I do any regression testing (since your patchset consists of more than one patch)? Greets, Tobias

rfc: refactoring msxml3 to get rid of aggregation
by Michael Karcher 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hello developers, the msxml3 code currently uses aggregation to implement IXMLDOMNode on all of the different DOM tree elements. As the interfaces for these elements are all derived from IXMLDOMNode, a lot of forwarding thunks have to be implemented to get the calls into the inner object. The attached patch series modifies the source code to derive the objects instead, which seems like the more natural approach to get derived interfaces implemented. The attached patches still have to be cleaned up: They contain lines ending with whitespace, incosistent spacing around function call parenthesis, incosistent style of using a cast helper function or direct casting and other small nits. A more important problem with these patches that make me write this mail is that they generate lots of compiler warnings like | domdoc.c:1556: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type which is of no surprise, as the vtable for domdoc expects a function taking an IXMLDOMDocument as "this" pointer while I provide a function taking an interface pointer to an IXMLDOMNode as "this" pointer. Both of these pointers point to the same address (as usual for derived objects), so the conversion is safe, but the simple-minded C compiler can't know that. The question that arises is how to handle these warnings. a) ignore them (most probably not an option) b) add lots of casts (only way to make the idea of these patches fly) c) write lots of little forwarding functions that convert the this pointer. d) ditch the idea of using derivation instead of aggregation Any oppions on that? I (obviously) think that b is the right solution, but as a quick grep over the Wine source code revealed, this solution seems to be used nowhere. Is that because this is the first place where deriving makes sense or is that because I'm completely off-track? Kind regards, Michael Karcher PS: The munged "From " lines in the attached patches are intentional. They keep my email program from choosing "application/mbox" as MIME type.

Conformance test to try on a windows box.

I'm currently implementing the D3DXMatrixStack interface. Could someone try these tests on a windows machine before I go further ?

You still haven't done the other part: use Win32 APIs EnumSystemCodePages/ GetCPInfo/WideCharToMultiByte instead of accessing Wine internals directly. -- Dmitry.

DIrectSound on top of openAL ?
by Jérôme Gardou 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

I was wondering why directsound was not implemented using openal. As direct3d is implemented on top of opengl. I see three major advantages : openAL is cross-platform, whereas alsa is linux-specific. openAL is (sometimes) hardware-accelerated. Wine would bring directsound hardware acceleration to windows vista :) See http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/OpenAL%20Wiki/OpenAL%C2%AE%20and%20W… for manufacturers which bring hardware accelerated openal drivers... Plus, wine would benefit of the system's openal configuration. No need to chosse between OSS and ALSA, the user would have done it through his openAL configuration.

Sorry, I think that was my fault. I accidentally ran wine on the patchwatcher account by hand around then. - Dan

What happened to your /etc/hosts proposal? It has the advantage that we don't need changes to Wine source code. You would need to duplicate this code in every dll that does networking, if possible. I don't think it will work for wldap32, where there is no lookup call to hook into. -Hans

Stefan asked for users to test the patch to see if >any games break. Thank you. This is a 'good thing' to do before sending the patch through to wine-patches. It looks like this patch needs more work. James McKenzie

patchwatcher problem
by Vitaly Perov 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi! Today I sent the patch "netapi32: add stub for NetShareAdd" On the old patchwatcher it fails: > winspool.drv:info.c:1281: Test failed: Parameter size wrong! > 4 expected got 0 My patch changes only netapi32. I have no idea why the winespool.drv test can fail. On the new patchwatcher it have passed. -- Best wishes, Vitaly Perov Russia, Saint-Petersburg. www.etersoft.ru
