A copyright question to wine developpers
by Christophe-Marie Duquesne 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi, To my understanding, wine is a reimplementation of the MS system. As far as I understand, you take MS public headers and reimplement their functions. If that is how it works, then how do you deal with copyright? The MS headers certainly come with a copyright clause: how is it possible to redistribute these headers with wine? The reason why I ask this: I just rewrote an opensource implementation of a closed-source library. This opensource implementation is meant to be fully compatible with the closed source one: I reimplemented all the functions provided by their header, and anyone using the closed source one should be able to use my library as a replacement. My problem, though, is with the distribution of the header: Since I want to be fully compatible with the closed-source implementation, I have to, somehow, use the same header. I could probably modify it so that is *looks* different, but for the compiler, the API *needs* to be the same. Since you seem to have the same problem with wine (and you probably dealt with it succesfully), I wanted to ask you how you are solving this problem. Do you "rewrite" the headers? Do you copy them "raw"? Thank you, Christophe-Marie Duquesne

Rethinking WineConf
by Jeremy White 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi All, This past Wine conference, while great fun as always, was not as well attended as Wine conferences in the past. So I would like to stir up trouble by suggesting we rethink WineConf. For those that have not attended, the Wine conference has been a mostly annual affair since 2002. It is open to all, but is advertised as being aimed at Wine developers. About 35 people attend each year. It's been in Minnesota about every 3rd year, and is otherwise 'normally' somewhere in Europe. I see the primary goal as creating human bonds between otherwise anonymous people (aka going to the pub). It's a bonus if it also spurs resolution to tricky issues, or motivates people to get more done. So I'd like to ask folks to brain storm with me. How could Wineconf be different? If you've never been, what would encourage you to come? If you've been to a technical conference recently that you thought was well done, what did they do well? Anything we could emulate? Any other ideas, or suggestions? Cheers, Jeremy

Also you must do it without memory allocations. You'd also want more tests for the overflow cases, in particular for partial sequences. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

[rfc msvcp100] add Container_base::_Orphan_all
by Dan Kegel 25 Jul '12

Piotr, can you review this, please? I've only tested this with two apps on 32 bits, I have not tested at all on 64 bits, and am only guessing on the calling convention stuff. Seems to fix http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27698 for Harvest and one other app (I can't reproduce the problem with Origin, and I haven't tried cl.exe).

Hi, While running your changed tests on Windows, I think I found new failures. Being a bot and all I'm not very good at pattern recognition, so I might be wrong, but could you please double-check?
