TCP/IP networking and registry keys
by Alan Chandler 06 Mar '01

06 Mar '01

I spent most of the weekend trying to get Grand Prix Legends GPL to work. I achieved my first goal of getting it to run in server mode. One of the things I needed to get the game to do, was to recognise that there where some interfaces it could talk TCP/IP out of. It took me some time to realise that under windows it was doing this by looking for the key [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Class\\NetTrans] and was then enumerating the keys under it to establish an IP address ie the following [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Class\\NetTrans\\0000] "IPAddress"="10.0.10.100" The thought occurred to me that maybe the tool the builds the registry during wine install could actually create these keys - since it is essentially a key part of the system (and other similar keys are also built in the same way). I don't think I have the skills to do it myself yet. Alan alan(a)chandlerfamily.org.uk http://www.chandler.u-net.com

http://linux.cnet.com/linux/0-2136864-7-4961586.html worth the reading, even if Wine gets the lowest ranking my reading of it is that Wine is not yet a product (compared to the two others). I definitively think we should focus more on a release target. It of course means that we have to make choices (do not include some functionnalities), spend pretty much more time on testing... but that's the way to go if we want to have Wine 1.0 around on of these days A+ --------------- Eric Pouech (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/eric.pouech/) "The future will be better tomorrow", Vice President Dan Quayle

Rather than hardcoding the paths into the code, could we do this instead: while (PROFILE_EnumWineIniString( "afmdirs", idx++, key, sizeof(key), value, sizeof(value))) PSDRV_ReadAFMDir(value); This has the added benefit of allowing the user to specify only those AFM directories that their rasterizer knows about too. With the above, I get a whole bunch of printer fonts listed as available in wine that I can't actually print if Ghostscript isn't configured to find the font files. -Gav -- Gavriel State, CEO TransGaming Technologies Inc. http://www.transgaming.com gav(a)transgaming.com

Thanks. Fixed patch attached. I did change left multiplicator from 2 to 4 in my earlier patches, but I forgot to include it in my final patch being 3 AM and so... I'll try to be more careful next time. Vedran

RFC: client side implementation of async I/O
by Michael McCormack 04 Mar '01

04 Mar '01

Hi all, This patch moves responsibility for asynchronous I/O to the client process. i'm posting it to wine-devel because i want to know what other developers here think about the technique i've used to make this work... i've relaxed some of the assumptions wineserver makes about client processes. i think this implementation is more efficient, as it makes fewer server calls and duplicates fewer file descriptors, while maintaining correctness.

Re: Add explicit WM_CLOSE processing in the edit control

This is not specific to WM_CLOSE, it can happen with other messages too; any time we transfer control back to the application the window can be destroyed. I think it would be better to either unlock the buffer before calling DefWindowProc, or make EDIT_UnlockBuffer cope with a destroyed window. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Ok, so now that I've got the patch out, there's a weird problem that I've been having with this piece of code. Apply the following on top of my previous patch and you'll get the weirdest traces: --- cut here --- Index: dlls/comctl32/listview.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs/wine/wine/dlls/comctl32/listview.c,v retrieving revision 1.99 diff -u -r1.99 listview.c --- dlls/comctl32/listview.c 2001/02/28 05:31:02 1.99 +++ dlls/comctl32/listview.c 2001/03/02 23:45:09 @@ -1542,10 +1545,22 @@ item.stateMask = LVIS_SELECTED; item.state = LVIS_SELECTED; + TRACE("nSelectionMark=%d nItem=%d nFirst=%d nLast=%d\n",infoPtr->nSelectionMark,nItem,nFirst,nLast); +#if 0 + i = nFirst; + while (i <= nLast) + { + TRACE("i=%d\n",i); + LISTVIEW_SetItemState(hwnd,i,&item); + i++; + } +#else for (i = nFirst; i <= nLast; i++); { + TRACE("i=%d\n",i); LISTVIEW_SetItemState(hwnd,i,&item); } +#endif LISTVIEW_SetItemFocus(hwnd, nItem); infoPtr->nSelectionMark = nItem; --- cut here --- Now if I click on item 3 I get the following trace: ... trace:listview:LISTVIEW_AddGroupSelection nSelectionMark=-1 nItem=3 nFirst=3 nLast=3 trace:listview:LISTVIEW_AddGroupSelection i=4 trace:listview:LISTVIEW_WindowProc hwnd=1908 uMsg=1006 wParam=0 lParam=405b6c30 trace:listview:LISTVIEW_AddSelectionRange Add range 4 - 4 ...

WinMM/MMSystem & registry
by Eric Pouech 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

I'm currently investigating moving all multimedia setup into the registry as current WINMM/MMSYSTEM implementation is rather close to the WIN3.x/9x model, I started looking at their native implementation. The main goal is to use no longer the hard coded drivers name, but rather get them from the registry basically, it goes like this: /* * The Windows registry settings are as follows: * - the drivers are defined by sets, each set has an index * - the sets are loaded in the set index increasing order * - a set is divided by classes (wave, midi...), and several drivers can be * defined in each class * - the keys are spread into two locations: * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\MEDIA\%idx%\Drivers\%class%\%name% * where %idx% is the set index, * %class% is the class (midi, wave...) * %name% is the name of the device (which can be different from * the actual name of a the driver's filename (even if, * in lots of cases it's the same)) * these keys mainly describe what to load, and in which order * This key shall also contain some configuration options for the driver (if * needed...) * - each entry under the Services\Class has a corresponding entry in another part * of the registry * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\%class%\%namen%<%idx%> * Under this location is stored information regarding how to load the * driver (like if it's enabled, PnP information...) */ there are some other keys (like the PnP devices enumeration) which use the index to refer to the driver implementing this under Wine is not too difficult. The hairy part is the configuration (setting up the keys in the registry) since the first step of the configuration (for this scheme) is to get the first unused index, this can be a bit tricky (especially when a registry exists, and has been copied from a native one) the possible solutions are: A/ implement this mechanism and provide an ad hoc tool for this purpose. The hard part is, in some cases, that the data to add to the registry have to be determined at installation time: the number of DSP available for the wave output, or the list of MIDI playback devices (synthesizer, midi out...) - current WineOSS implementation gets its name from the kernel -. A1/ create a specific (winelib) tool to take care of it A2/ make use of Windows installation capabilities (setup API) and provide a .INF file for each. I'm not quite sure that's feasible with the semantics of the API (mainly for the naming issue described above) B/ do not implement this mechanism B1/ provide a Wine specific easy set of keys B2/ same as above, but upon startup, Wine (or winmm/mmsystem) partially recreates the native keys as needed I'd rather go the A1 or B1. As of today, the only drawback of B1 is that some native DLLs (multimedia control panel, the midi mapper) will not work. I haven't (yet) run against a program using this poorly undocumented set of features (which, of course, will not work on Win2k with WDM in place). any comment is welcome.
