C++ Winelib problems
by Peter Hunnisett 25 Jan '02

25 Jan '02

Hello all, I've been tooling around with building a C++ application using Winelib and I've come across a couple of problems resulting from the use of global constructors. The problems can be reproduced with a simple C++ application which from a constructor calls a method which is resolved through a dll import. 1) If this program is the main program, wine_dll_set_callback has not yet been invoked so the __wine_dll_register call doesn't resolve the import list. The problem is that the constructors of the program are run immediately after the dll is registered which results in calling a non resolved import. This can be worked around by simply creating a non C++ stub which does a LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress on the real main exe. However I'm wondering if there is a good reason for needing to wait until after the main exe is loaded before being able to resolve imports? I must be missing something from my quick view of the code. 2) The order of running constructor execution and DLL entry point is incorrect. To show the problem assume you have foo.dll which imports bar.dll Present order for builtins: Load foo.dll Start to resolve foo.dll dependencies Start to resolve bar.dll dependencies Finsh resolving bar.dll dependencies Run bar.dll C++ constructors Finish resolving foo.dll dependencies Run foo.dll C++ constructors Run bar.dll DLL entry point Run foo.dll DLL entry point I actually haven't checked if PE images presently have the same problem since I don't know what triggers the ctor execution for a PE image. I assume that it's the running of the DLL entry point, but I don't know for sure. Hopefully I'll find the time at some point this week to whip up a test. The correct order: Load foo.dll Start to resolve foo.dll dependencies Start to resolve bar.dll dependencies Finsh resolving bar.dll dependencies Run bar.dll C++ constructors Run bar.dll DLL entry point Finish resolving foo.dll dependencies Run foo.dll C++ constructors Run foo.dll DLL entry point The problem seems reasonably simple enough to resolve but I'm sure that I'm missing something since my patch doesn't work for the present version of wine :(. I think that the problem is that there's an issue with inter DLL dependencies somewhere as it dies in SYSMETRICS_Init with a bad hdc. I've attached a patch which removes the recursive dep search from MODULE_DllProcessAttach and moves MODULE_DllProcessAttach from LoadLibraryExA into MODULE_LoadLibraryExA. Does this seem like a reasonable approach to take? Any problems with the patch? Ciao, Peter

Word97 (winver win95) - no luck with wine

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have problems starting Word97 using wine-20020122. I use the following command line: env LANG=de_DE LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/wine-20020122/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/wine-20020122/bin/wine --winver=win95 winword.exe The working directory is: /usr/Windows_NT_Files/Programs/Office/Word Inside this directory there are the following files: - -rwxr----- 1 nardmann users 1108752 Jun 23 2001 MSO7DEU.DLL - -rwxr--r-- 1 nardmann users 3792896 Aug 18 2000 mso97.dll - -rw-r--r-- 1 nardmann users 31232 Jun 29 2001 Normal.dot - -rwxr--r-- 1 nardmann users 5337088 Mai 8 2001 winword.exe - -rwxr--r-- 1 nardmann users 1724416 Aug 18 2000 wwintl32.dll I do not use an installed Windows, only these files! I use Wine on SuSE Linux 7.1 remote using Exceed on Windows NT 4.0. Some time ago I got Word97 running using a CVS version but now I get the following: For language 'german' several language ids were found: de_DE - 0407; de_CH - 0807; de_LU - 1007; de_LI - 1407; Instead of using first in the list, suggest to define your LANG environment variable like this: LANG=de_DE fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Your keyboard layout was not found!

I could add '--debugmsg +all' and provide gzipped file if necessary. How can I locate the problem? I tried to run Wine at the console of the Linux machine logged in as root instead of user nardmann. Then I see the splash screen and get a message box saying that my registry is corrupted and that I should restart the Word setup program. I cannot click the button in this message box. I am going to check the '--debugmsg +reg' output during the next week and compare it with the contents of the registry in the .wine directory and the registry on my local WinNT machine.

C testing framework. ASCII/Unicode portable version
by Andriy Palamarchuk 24 Jan '02

24 Jan '02

Attached version of the C testing framework, which is implemented with using TCHAR.H macros, so it is portable between ASCII and Unicode platforms. Also implemented test which can be used to test ASCII and Unicode API. As I found out creating ASCII/Unicode portable code requires much more attention than creating plain ASCII-only code, probably the same level of difficulty as creation Unicode-only code.

Privaleged instruction
by Nog 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

Hi, Just for the fun of it I tried to run the dos installer of Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. It didn't get too far as the installer crashed on an unhandeled Privileged instruction. According to winedbg the instruction is 0x0002:0x10000 push %cs. To see what the opcode of this instruction might be, I added a trace to the INSTR_EmulateInstruction. Looking at the trace I found that the instruction it was having to emulate was 0x00 which looks very wrong to me. But just to check I simply made that function return true if the instruction was 0x00 but this only seemed to make things worse, the exception still occured but the debugger didn't launch. What I would like to know is, is push %cs realy a Privileged instruction (which I think it might be)? Looking into why INSTR_EmulateInstruction doesn't get the right pointer, the offset looked too big to me. Shouldn't it roll over to the next segment after 0xffff? The problem with the way that it is now is that the following macro, which converts the segment offset pair to linear addresses cuts off the upper bits, which looks correct. #define PTR_REAL_TO_LIN(seg,off) \ ((void*)(((unsigned int)(seg) << 4) + LOWORD(off))) What I want to know is why the offset is so high? nog.

Of course it shouldn't require it. It should simply skip parts of the test if the native version is not available. if(&wine::is_native("wininet")) { # Do native wininet tests } > Choosing to use a native dll is more up to the developper > to debug a > test.

Well it allows us to automatically test a non-developer Windows installation directly under Linux without requiring him to reboot. Even developers make find it useful to quickly be able to modify the loadorder without having to modify his configuration. Sometimes what you want to test is quite subtle, like you have a function A in module B that calls function C in module D. Perhaps you want to test the robustness of Wines implementation of function A by testing it both with the native and the builtin version of D. If you have many such tests it would be a lot of unnessary manual work to switch D between native and builtin while testing B as builtin. Then perhaps somebody else have some use I haven't even though of. The main use will be I think to force tests to as the default test the builtin version since if you type "make test" in a directory you really expect to test the files in THAT directory, not the native version even if your ~/.wine/config specifies that.

We cannot ship native dlls with Wine for obvious reasons, so requiring the native dll would force Wine developpers to have a Windows partition installation around, and one configured for use in the tests. Otherwise they would not be able to run the tests, would they? I don't think that's good. Choosing to use a native dll is more up to the developper to debug a test. And then modifying the configuration file, as we usually do to debug applications, should be simple and familiar enough.

Microsoft's version of "WINE"
by Sander Wichers 23 Jan '02

23 Jan '02

Hi, Maybe you guys already seen this, and it's old news for you... but i'll post this anyway in case you didn't know. It can be a good thing to learn from. I do not own a SUN or a HP-UX system. But I was just interested how microsoft implemented IE 4 / IE 5 on HP-UX and SUN. So I extracted their installation files to disk. It seems that microsoft made their own version of wine. It's amazing that they didn't modified IE to run on unix. Instead they made the choice to emulate all the windows functionality. And compile IE on that. Microsoft is ready to run their applications on linux. They have a complete "system" libary full of ported functionality to SUN and HP-UX... all the libaries are there, libkernel32.so etc.... It's also nice to see how they seperated the resources from the binaries. and let the kernel deal with these resource files. Has any one of you looked into these system libaries? Is this information relevant to anyone? bye, Sander Wichers
