Problem with the wine-gitlab mailing list archive?
by Francois Gouget 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

The wine-gitlab mailing list archive shows no new message since last Tuesday (2022-10-18). Yet I did receive emails on that list since then. https://www.winehq.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/wine-gitlab(a)winehq.org/ What's going on? -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Cahn's Axiom: When all else fails, read the instructions.

Wine Source build on native wchar_t 4 bytes
by Mahin Pandya 05 Dec '22

05 Dec '22

Hello All, We are trying to build Wine Source on Linux with native wchar_t size 4 bytes (instead of 2 bytes), is there any way it can be done? I started with doing following changes: diff --git a/tools/winapi/winapi_test b/tools/winapi/winapi_test index b9628e8..91daac3 100644 --- a/tools/winapi/winapi_test +++ b/tools/winapi/winapi_test @@ -206,7 +206,11 @@ sub _find_align_kind_size($) { $align = 2; $kind = "signed"; $size = 2; - } elsif (/^(?:char16_t|wchar_t|USHORT|WCHAR|WORD)$/) { + } elsif (/^(?:wchar_t|WCHAR)$/) { + $align = 4; + $kind = "unsigned"; + $size = 4; + } elsif (/^(?:char16_t|USHORT|WORD|WCHAR_nt)$/) { $align = 2; $kind = "unsigned"; $size = 2; Also started changing some of headers e.g. winnt.h - removed "typedef unsigned short WCHAR;" Any pointers/suggestion are welcome. Thanking you. regards, Mahin

Can we use Windows Kits idl files?
by James McDonnell 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

Are the Windows Kits SDK WinRT .idl files acceptable to read-rework inside the wine source? They are akin to header files, no? I asked on the irc but didn't get any reply. There was a follow up comment asking about ReactOS headers as well: > on the topic of headers, are we allowed to look at ReactOS NDK headerS > s/headerS/headers/ > they contain internal structure definitions only, nothing else Thank you, James

Bug 52263 - Deadlock in dinput
by Fabian Maurer 20 Nov '22

20 Nov '22

Hello, you committed a fix for Bug 52263, but I think that only masks the issue, not really fixing it. Your fix is here: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/commit/ 7e5eeecdfb5c90042945d9e84a3a9f8b2ed0036a I described what happens in https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52314#c4 I think we can only time out in this wait, so this doesn't seem right. Could you please take a second look? Regards, Fabian Maurer

Cuda Applications on Wine - suggesting to merge wine-staging/patches/nvcuda-CUDA_Support patches into upstream wine.
by Alois Schlögl 16 Nov '22

16 Nov '22

I'd like suggesting to merge the 17 patches from wine-staging/patches/nvcuda-CUDA_Support patches into upstream wine for the following reasons: Currently Cuda applications for Windows do not run in native Wine. Such an application is Warpem (available for Windows only), and CUDA-Z for Windows. I assume there are other applications as well. This could be fixed by pulling in the 17 patches wine-staging/patches/nvcuda-CUDA_Support. Possible disadvantages: - build dependency to cuda - some distros might not want to have a build dependency on cuda.h That's the choice of the package manager, but this should be endorsed and recommended for the above reason. - run-time dependency on cuda wine does not have a runtime dependency on cuda (probably due to dynamic linking) e.g. cuda-z can be started under wine, and stops gracefully with a message the cuda is not available. - number of APIs to maintain is currently done anyway (by the wine-staging team) From a the perspective of some application, Cuda is part of the operating system should be provided by the platform (Wine in our case). Overall, it seems merging the nvcuda-CUDA_Support into upstream Wine are the right thing to do. Best regards, Alois

by Alexandre Julliard 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

Folks, With the end of the year approaching, it will soon be time to start the code freeze towards Wine 8.0. My plan is to have another two development releases, and start code freeze with Wine 7.23, on December 9. So if there are things that you want in 8.0, you have another 4 weeks to get them upstreamed... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Upcoming vkd3d 1.6 release.
by Henri Verbeet 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Hi all, We'd like to release vkd3d 1.6 in about 4 weeks. As we're nearing that date, the vkd3d tree is going to become progressively frozen, starting today. Now is the time to test your applications for any regressions, review any API changes since vkd3d 1.5, review and improve the API documentation, and so on. The next release, vkd3d 1.7, is tentatively planned for late March next year. Regards, Henri

Winelib stack overflow
by Vitor Ramos 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

Hello, I am not sure if this is the appropriate channel but here we go. I am trying to port a windows c++ application using winelib and I found an issue while using some c++ STL containers. Here is a minimal example: # winelib.dll.so ```c++ #include <windows.h> #include <unordered_map> #include <string> extern "C" int f1(long z) { std::unordered_map<int, std::string> y; return 10; } spec file ```c++ 2 stdcall f1(long) ``` # Building winelib.dll.so winemaker --console --dll . winebuild --implib -E winedll.spec -o libwinedll.a winebuild --fake-module --dll -E winedll.spec -o winedll.dll make cp libwinedll.a winedll.dll.so /usr/local/lib/wine/x86_64-unix cp winedll.dll /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 win64 app ```c++ #include <iostream> extern "C"{ int f1(long z); } int main(){ int ret = f1(2); std::cout << ret << std::endl; } ``` # Building win64 app winemaker . -iwinedll make # Running wine64 win64app.exe.so # Output 0110:err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception stack overflow 2128 bytes in thread 0110 addr 0x17008c804 stack 0x207b0 (0x20000-0x21000-0x120000) If I remove the "std::unordered_map<int, std::string> y" from the custom lib it runs normally. I suspect that wine uses too much of the stack to construct the object, but it's just a wild guess. Does anybody know what the issue could be? Is it possible to increase the stack size? Thanks.
