Error handling in RpcBindingVectorFree (dlls/rpcrt4/rpc_binding.c)
by Gerald Pfeifer 22 Nov '20

22 Nov '20

Looking at RPC_STATUS WINAPI RpcBindingVectorFree( RPC_BINDING_VECTOR** BindingVector ) { RPC_STATUS status; ULONG c; TRACE("(%p)\n", BindingVector); for (c=0; c<(*BindingVector)->Count; c++) { status = RpcBindingFree(&(*BindingVector)->BindingH[c]); } HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, *BindingVector); *BindingVector = NULL; return RPC_S_OK; } we currently always ignore the outcome of RpcBindingFree and return RPC_S_OK. However, there is one case where RpcBindingFree returns something different (which is if *Binding is null when RPC_S_INVALID_BINDING is returned). What is the proper way of handling this? Just keeping the code as is and removing the unused status variable? Breaking the loop once RpcBindingFree returns something different from RPC_S_OK? Continuing and returning the first / the last status different from RPC_S_OK? Gerald

ntoskrnl.exe: unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoGetDeviceInterfaces
by Qian Hong 28 Sep '18

Dear all, While test another online bank with wine ActiveX, I got an unimplemented fuction of ntoskrnl: IoGetDeviceInterfaces, I found it listed in http://source.winehq.org/WineAPI/ntoskrnl.html as a stup, so I can't understand this log: wine: Unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoGetDeviceInterfaces called at address 0x7b839552 (thread 0022), starting debugger... Grateful for any explain! env: wine1.3.12 on Ubuntu 10.04 Here are the steps: 1. install an ActiveX from https://e.bank.ecitic.com/perbank5/plugs/CNCBSecPkg_EN.exe $ rm -rf ~/.wine $ winetricks -q mfc42 $ wine CNCBSecPkg_EN.exe fixme:ole:DllRegisterServer stub fixme:win:DisableProcessWindowsGhosting : stub fixme:msg:ChangeWindowMessageFilter c057 00000001 fixme:msg:ChangeWindowMessageFilter c057 00000001 fixme:msg:ChangeWindowMessageFilter c057 00000001 fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no instance created for interface {ea1afb91-9e28-4b86-90e9-9e9f8a5eefaf} of class {56fdf344-fd6d-11d0-958a-006097c9a090}, hres is 0x80004002 fixme:sfc:SfcIsFileProtected ((nil), L"C:\\Program Files\\\4e2d\4fe1\94f6\884c\7f51\94f6\5b89\5168\63a7\4ef6\\unins000.exe") stub fixme:win:WINNLSEnableIME hUnknown1 0x1011a bUnknown2 0: stub! fixme:win:WINNLSEnableIME hUnknown1 0x1011a bUnknown2 -1: stub! fixme:win:WINNLSEnableIME hUnknown1 0x1011a bUnknown2 0: stub! wine: Call from 0x7b839552 to unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoGetDeviceInterfaces, aborting wine: Unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoGetDeviceInterfaces called at address 0x7b839552 (thread 002b), starting debugger... wine: Call from 0x7b839552 to unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoGetDeviceInterfaces, aborting wine: Call from 0x7b839552 to unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoGetDeviceInterfaces, aborting 2. open the online bank entry with wine builtin IE, then IE will crash: $ wine iexplore https://e.bank.ecitic.com/perbank5/signIn.do Please checkout the full log here: http://pastebin.com/rbAg7gwj Should I file a singel bug in ntoskrnl component , or separate bugs, one for ntoskrnl and one for the IE crashing? Generalliy what component should I switch while file a bug about IE crashing? Many thanks! -- Regards, Qian Hong - Sent from Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/

ODBC Databases: Jet/Access success
by Barry Bird 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Good Afternoon. In section 3.3.6.2 of your User Guide you ask readers to report successes with databases other than MS SQL. Well here's one (I know Access 2000 can work with Wine, but this doesn't require Access): How to set up Wine to enable Windows programs that read and write to Jet (Access) databases using ODBC. I write such programs in C and use the API defined in ODBC API Reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714562%28VS.85%29.aspx They work fine on Windows and only require Mingw to be installed to compile and link them, both for console programs and those using Windows SDK. You then can write interactive programs in C which use a full-featured SQL database which comes bundled with Windows. No need to purchase Access. With the set-up below they will also run on Linux (Kubuntu 9.04) and Wine 1.1.26. You need to update the registry to install the Access drivers. Under Windows, export from the Registry to *.reg files the registry entries - HKLM\Software\ODBC - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Jet all subsidiary keys and values come with them. You can carefully edit these files to remove drivers and DSNs you don't need. Import these files using the registry editor in wine: wine regedit.exe. You need to bring across from Windows to Windows\System32 under wine: clbcatq.dll comres.dll expsrv.dll msjet40.dll mswstr10.dll msjter40.dll msjint40.dll msjtes40.dll msrd3x40.dll odbc32.dll odbccp32.dll odbcji32.dll odbcjt32.dll odbcad32.exe odbcint.dll odbctrac.dll vbajet32.dll Register this server in wine: wine regsvr32.exe msjtes40.dll No need to install MDAC. To use Windows ODBC drivers, you have to override Wine's odbccp32.dll and odbc32.dll with the native versions because the Wine versions are currently wired directly to Linux's unixodbc. This can be done by setting up the ODBC Data Source Administrator odbcad32.exe using winecfg: - Add the program to the Applications tab - then in the libraries tab, pick from 'New override for library' drop-down odbc32.dll and odbccp32.dll add them and edit them to be Native for Windows. Then if you do wine odbcad32.exe this brings up the ODBC Data Source Administrator window as in the Windows Control Panel If needed, set up (System) DSNs using this program. Bring across the programs and *.mdb database files from Windows. Using winecfg, you need to set up each program you want to run with overrides for odbc32.dll and odbccp32.dll (Applications and Libraries tabs) as above. The programs should then run as they did in Windows but perhaps a bit slower with: wine Odbc-prog.exe This has been tested twice on a clean .wine install. I cannot vouch for support of all API and SQL facilities however. I hope someone finds this useful. Barry Bird

IMM / IME work
by Aric Stewart 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

Hello all, I know this will only interest a small portion of you but thought i would give a quick update on the state of IMM32 since I have brought it to a major milestone. All the main patches are in which now separate IMM32 and IMEs. There is still more work to do but the major framework is in place. X11 XIM processing should be unchanged. However wine can now begin to load native windows IMEs as well. I have tested with windows ATOK20 (a popular Japanese IME) and successfully had text processing in a fully IME aware application. There are still clear issues to resolve in many aspects of this processing but we have forward progress. ImmInstallIME does not work yet, nor does switching keyboards. So to get the native IME to work you need to add this registry key. [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layouts\\<keyboard layout>] "Ime File"=<IME filename> so for example for ATOK20 in Japanese i used. [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layouts\\e0010411] "Ime File"="ATOK20W.IME" I would love to hear how well things work. I am sure using native IMEs will quickly show us many places where IMM32 needs to be improved. One issues I am going to investigate next is that sometimes non x11drv ime initialization, if occurring too early, causes x11drv to fail to create windows. I have not investigated with the latest changes to xim.c (which may already correct this problem) but if you see this problem this patch may help and i believe the IME_UpdateAssociation(NULL) is already unneeded. diff --git a/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c b/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c index d4df9f7..0c98136 100644 --- a/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c +++ b/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c @@ -475,7 +475,6 @@ static void X11DRV_OpenIM(Display *display, XPointer ptr, XP XUnregisterIMInstantiateCallback(display, NULL, NULL, NULL, X11DRV_OpenIM, wine_tsx11_unlock(); IME_XIMPresent(TRUE); - IME_UpdateAssociation(NULL); } thanks, -aric

DirectInput already has some internal abstraction layers for differnet joystick APIs, and has basic support for OSX joysticks. Does DInput have enough capabilities to access all the Xbox controller's features? My gut says no, otherwise MS wouldn't have created a new lib. I guess its worth checking though.

What happened to the Fedora packages?
by Neal Gompa 02 Aug '14

02 Aug '14

What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since 0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new packages will be ready soon!!! Compiling WINE always crashes my computer, so I prefer to use the RPMs...

Hi. >From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from, when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed? This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c". MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer is installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in this Situation. -- By By ... ...

Getting Wine's PO files on Launchpad
by Francois Gouget 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Launchpad has a PO file translation website. This makes it easier for non-developpers to contribute and review translations. https://translations.launchpad.net/ So what would it take to get Wine's PO files on Launchpad? * Launchpad tracks who translated what string and if we choose the 'Closed' permissions model only approved translators can update the translations. So that means we should be able to get patches with full attribution. https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject/PermissionPolicies * Launchpad would need to pull updated PO files from Wine regularly. Ideally that would be automatic and happen daily (both to account for translations happening outside Launchpad and to take changes in the resource files into account quickly). https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject/ImportingTranslations * Conversely Launchpad should submit patches back to Wine. Ideally that would be automated as much as possible but I'm fuzzy on the details here (especially on how to preserve attribution). As for the periodicity, maybe the best would be weekly or just before Alexandre makes a release. https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject/Exports https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject/PartialPOExport -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- from some indian guy

Web space usage was getting a bit high, so I've uploaded a tarball to a file download service: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5hot36 austin(a)aw21 ~ $ sha1sum scan-build-2011-07-02.tar.bz2 ac3cb3920ef97641fff1f5376f8136cef01f15bf scan-build-2011-07-02.tar.bz2 to use, just extract and open in your favorite browser: $ firefox index.html this was run against Clang from svn: clang version 3.0 (trunk 134320) Please send me any false positives that you'd like me to report upstream. Cheers, Austin P.S. For those of you wanting Valgrind results, I'm currently hitting a nasty Valgrind bug, waiting on upstream to fix: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275673 (Thanks to Andrew N for finding the faulty commit)
