[Bug 40502] New: Global objects constructors fail when invoking standard libs
by wine-bugs＠winehq.org April 24, 2020

April 24, 2020

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40502 Bug ID: 40502 Summary: Global objects constructors fail when invoking standard libs Product: Wine Version: 1.8.1 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: winelib Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: mirko.ortensi(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- I managed to recompile and link my win32 application but at execution time, it crashes because of a segmentation fault where memset (or the bare printf("HELLO")) is invoked in the global object constructor (any call to standard C library is enough to trigger the crash). The global object is built in the stack, then it seems that at launch time my object constructor is called before C Standard Library is ready. Now, as a workaround I can declare a pointer to global object and instantiate it in the main (tested, it works)...though...this is something I'd like to avoid to keep the code as original as possible. Removing the global objects, everything works like a charm. As far as I understand, global object constructors are called after Wine infrastructure is ready to go, though I have doubts now regarding C Standard Library. (Please check 8.3.3. Starting a Winelib process https://www.winehq.org/docs/winedev-guide/x3172) This code reproduces the error: #include <stdio.h> class Printer { public: Printer(){printf("HI\n");} }; Printer p; int main(void) { return 0; } The issue is reproduced by this code linking to msvcrt: wineg++ -mno-cygwin issue.cpp -o issue Linking to system libs, this code does not reproduce the issue. wineg++ issue.cpp -o issue Now, in my code (pretty big software I am porting to Linux) I still need to isolate root cause, issue is reproduced even linking against system libraries (not Wine's msvcrt, then). Anyway, I think there's a bug somewhere when linking to msvcrt even in this silly piece of code. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Maybe if users treated Staging like a staging branch and not just another version of Wine. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657 --- Comment #122 from Anastasius Focht <focht(a)gmx.net> --- Hello qsniyg, while this could work for the case of native 'pidgen' (Wine's builtin one is a stub dll that prefers native over builtin), it will likely trigger an influx of gazillion new bug reports. All the auto-generated stubs will cause all kinds of user-visible crashes instead of previous mostly silent application load failure behaviour. Users/triagers will create new bugs per stub to request addition of simple/semi-stubs because they don't understand that this approach can't work for majority of the MFC applications. Additionally it will send a false signal of hope: "hey, there is builtin MFC - let's start with implementing this and that". Most of the dupes linked here are not the result of 'pidgen' failures but from real MFC apps that require a lot of MFC classes to be implemented. You could ask maybe Wine-Staging project folks if it's possible to fly a trial balloon with them (and see the impact) ;-) If that happens we should definately create a new ticket, covering the addition of a stub MFC42 dll + minimal pidgen dependency implementation (if that's just one export). This one should remain as one-for-all meta-bug, although I would add "implementation" to the summary to distinguish both. My general (personal) opinion about MFC hasn't changed all the years. I consider it a huge waste of time/valuable developer resources if someone is really going for implementation of this legacy/obsolete technology. The Wine project still lacks developer resources in various other areas/components which are way more useful for the general populace.
