Well, it seems like a bad idea to make the player thread enter a busy loop when there isn't enough data to fill the device buffers, don't you think? (Well, though I'd like buffer complete notifications to happen more frequently than they do in Wine's current implementation, making the player thread use 100% CPU isn't the way...)

I am going to have to implement the LockFile/UnlockFile functions. Does anyone have any words of warning? (Like it ain't as easy as calling fcntl) Bill

double key events
by Arjen Nienhuis Oct. 31, 2001

Oct. 31, 2001

I test wine often with a game called Elastomania. Wine gets better over the years, but there is one problem that remains when playing that game: In the menus the cursor moves two positons on a key press. The biggest problem is that most of the menus have an odd number of items, so half of them are not reachable. This happens with all the versions of wine I have tested on al the platforms I tested it on. The game uses directx. The problem is not in that both the keyup AND keydown events are being interpreted, because the cursor moves twice at keydown. The cursor does not repeat when a key is held down longer. My not so very usefull guess is that the program tries to shut down some sort of messaging, but that doesnt't work with wine, and the program still listens to those events, and recieves them. Where do keyboard events go? this is the output when ran with no cmdline options: Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A: fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x40464254)->(00000000,00000008) fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x40386af8)->(00010021,00000013) fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_DDHAL_CreatePalette stub fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_DDHAL_CreatePalette stub fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_DDHAL_CreatePalette stub err:dinput:SysKeyboardAImpl_Unacquire \ Unacquiring a not-acquired device !!! here is a summary of the output when ran with: --debugmsg +key,+keyboard,+dinput it starts with tons of: KEYBOARD_MapDeadKeysys no character for dead keysym 0x00XXXX and X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout matches=47, mismatches=0, score=94 X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Attempting to match against "United Sta... blablabla... then: X11DRV_InitKeyboard fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel DirectInputCreateA IDirectInputAImpl_CreateDevice keyboarddev_create_device Creating a Keyboard device (0x40464288) then tons of: IDirectInputDevice2AImpl_SetDataFormat then: IDirectInputDevice2AImpl_SetCooperativeLevel \ (this=0x40464288,0x00010021,0x00000006) DISCL_FOREGROUND DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE it then does very often: X11DRV_MapVirtualKey ... wMapType=1 and uses the return values in: GetAsyncKeyState () which is always: -> 0 and then (at line 25711)...

As in many cases, Wine does not work because it is not tolerant to strange parameters Actually the dib masks are all equal to 0. Probably the correct fix is to assume an 'asis' (not reversed) conversion when the app does not set any mask. Gerard

Windows would be nice (you just need to call the wine server request to create from a unix fd into a windows handle and wait on it.

Anyone compiled Borland OWL (Object Windows Library) with winelib ?
by Grzegorz Prokopski Oct. 30, 2001

Oct. 30, 2001

Hi ! I am unable to find this information in wine-devel archives, so I decided to ask here. Q1: Have You heard about anyone who compiled Borland OWL (Object Windows Library) based project with winelib ? Yeah - I know it is an old library and Borland C++ 5.02 is the last version released a few years ago and without future updates. Anyway I have a project which IS written in OWL and need to check how hard will it be to make it working under Linux without rewriting it all. I belive I have the sources for complete OWL of course. Q2: With You expirience what would You say to that statment: If my OWL-based program works under Wine it should be convertable to winelib. How true is that statment ? Q3: I have read docs about using winelib and seen that there is MS Visual C++ mentioned many times. Does MS VC++ have some kind of support in winemake or in winelib itself ? Does OWL case differ much from MS VC++ ? Thank You for Your answers. Grzegorz Prokopski

Eric, thanks for the pointers. I removed the ms versions of the user32, kernel32 dlls. I have attached a log file, containing the last ~100 lines of wine execution. (the command I ran was "wine --debugmsg +dde,+relay --managed ./LOGOS.EXE") am I doing something wrong if wine locks up my computer about half of the time that I try running this app? sometimes I can go back to a virtual console and kill the wine processes(which in turn kills X, annoying but not so bad since xdm kicks in), but often I have to reach for the power button. --Josh On Tue, Oct 30, 2001 at 07:45:05AM -0500, wine-devel-request(a)winehq.com wrote: > Send wine-devel mailing list submissions to > wine-devel(a)winehq.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > wine-devel-request(a)winehq.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > wine-devel-admin(a)winehq.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of wine-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

The line to watch for is the sixth line >(rgb888 dib to 565 rgb/bgr bmp and back). I had (of course) a number of problems with your app. First on my current computer - a Mandrake 8, with Xfree 4, your procedure ran fine until it tried to link the thing and then it reported that WinMain was missing. I changed in your code 'main' to 'WinMain' and all was well. I tried then to do the same on my other computer (Suse 6.1 with Xfree 3.3 and a hand-compiled glibc 2.1.3). No joy. Configure always failed with libwine.so failing to find symbols like dlclose and the like. I did not figure out what is happening, I just copied the binary from my other box and it worked. As for the results, what I see is 11 lines of 13 blocks of 4 colors : black, red, green, blue. I guess that when you speak of red and blue exchanged, you mean that in one of these blocks the red and blue lines are exchanged, right ? What is strange is that on both of my computers the display of your app is the same with or without my patch. No line exchanged that I can see. > As for The Sims, if you can also check the -debugmsg +bitmap output >and make sure it's coherent. I don't have The Sims...

problems with dde, I think...
by Josh Duncan Oct. 30, 2001

Oct. 30, 2001

Hi all, I'm a little new to the list, so please be forgiving if I'm asking old questions. I've tried to do some research on the net and list archives to see if my questions have been answered before. I'm trying to run a program called Logos, which is a reference system for Biblical texts and other various study materials. It has a two-(independent)-windowed type interface, with a list of reference materials in one window("library"), and a workspace-type window containing subwindows with the texts of individual books. I can get the "library" window to show up when running wine, and the initial "quick tip" window, but when I click the close button of the tip window wine encounters an exception. I believe the exception is in user32.dll, in the ddeuninitialize16 function. This is going from my memory of the one time I was able to attach to the wine process to catch the exception. I attempted copying the kernel32, user32 dll's from a win98 machine into my wine dir, but this did not help. after doing this, I could not run winedbg either, as it exits giving me the following error: err:win32:PE_fixup_imports No implementation for kernel32.dll.0(wine_get_unix_file_name) imported from winedbg, setting to 0xdeadbeef This error occurs even after removing the two dlls. If anyone can give me advice about how to fix this, I'll try to post up the winedbg results of running the program(backtrace, et al) I know that some people have mentioned dde being broken between apps, I don't know if this is the case for this app, because when I was able to do a winedbg "walk process" it only listed one w-process, with 4 w-threads running. I have attached my wine config file, any advice would be greatly appreciated. (Also, if this email should have gone to the wine-users list, please let me know) I'm using the wine-20011029.i386.rpm from LinuxEasy, linked off of the winehq.org download page. sincerely, Josh Duncan not that it matters, but a pic of the two windows I can produce are at http://www.msmd.net/logos.jpg I'd try and show a pic of the other window, but the system gets so unstable that it can hard-lockup the machine, I think this is a cpu-spinning-in-signal handler problem but I couldn't get you a log right now to prove it.

I had an idea for using poll or select (rather than calculating expected play time and using a timeout) in audio.c The idea is to have a thread that sits on a select and dispatches a synthetic wine event (ie. we'd make up a WM_DSP_READY event) when the select returns. wodPlayer could then do an infinite wait and the select could be turned on or off when starting and ending playing. >From my relatively naive view a generic mechanism like this (ie. one that converts async IO selects into wine events) would be a good feature to have from a performance and code tidiness point of view. One caveat is that we'd need to ensure nothing evil happened if somebody sent the synthetic event from somewhere other than the select waiter. Comments?

It loads fine under Windows - however, both dependancy walker and the Nt quick viewer are not happy with it (one displays that there is a format error in the exe, the other loops and finally crashes) The web site says that this executable is compressed with a tool called UPX. This seems to be the reason for the problem, as the original program is compiled with Ms VC++ - not a very exotic tool. I think that a fix could be to detect a corrupted header in dump_exports and to not try to display anything if numberoffunctions is not coherent with the export section size. I tried a hack for that and virtualdub got further; however, I see that it is trying to load avicap32.dll and this is not going to work - even under Linux ;:-) Gerard

struct thread in server/thread.h
by Gerald Pfeifer Oct. 29, 2001

Oct. 29, 2001

In server/thread.h we have a definition of struct thread. Unfortunately, though, this clashes with struct thread as defined in /usr/include/sys/thread.h on FreeBSD 5.x and probably other systems (Solaris) as well. How should this be addressed? Would any of you mind fixing this? (If it's okay to just rename struct thread to struct winethread, I'm volunteering to handle that, else it'd be great could one of the experts have a look!)

Wine and Starcraft
by geschrader Oct. 29, 2001

Oct. 29, 2001

I've been pecking away attempting to track down why the current wine build won't run Starcraft. When it starts up I get the effect that I playfully refer to as the TSOD (Technicolor Screen Of Death). What I've found is that if all of the references to gdi_display in X11DRV_DDHAL_SetPalEntries( ) are replaced with thread_display( ) then it actually starts up and looks pretty good. However, the keyboard and mouse don't work so this is at best a partial fix. I'm pretty sure that this is on the right track since X11DRV_XF86DGA2_CreatePalette( ) uses thread_display( ) to make the palette that is eventually given to X11DRV_DDHAL_SetPalEntries( ). The only other function in dlls/x11drv/x11ddraw.c that uses gdi_display is X11DRV_DDHAL_DestroyPalette( ). Should thread_display( ) be used there also? How is gdi_display related to the display returned by thread_display( )? Both are used in quite a few places but they're obviously not the same thing. Can anybody give me some hints on what might be happening with the keyboard and mouse? Thanks much, ges

FindWindow, WaitforSingleObject and Deadlock
by Uwe Bonnes Oct. 28, 2001

Oct. 28, 2001

Hallo, I reported before, some applications of the quicklogic suite starts some watchdog application and hangs at this state. I tracked this down to the following sequence of events: - master application starts, sets up an event and resets the event - master application starts the watchdog - as soon as CreateProcess return, the Master application calls WaitForSingleObject with infinite timeout on that event - watchdog application starts and calls FindWindow. This is translated in a GetWindowText Call and finally SendMessageW (WM_GETTEXT) is called - Master application never awakes from waiting for the WaitForSingleObject Event and so never processes the SendMessage and Findwindow in the watchdog never returns I found two things relates to this deadlock in the API description: For WaitForSingleObject: "Use caution when calling the wait functions and code that directly or indirectly creates windows. If a thread creates any windows, it must process messages. Message broadcasts are sent to all windows in the system. A thread that uses a wait function with no time-out interval may cause the system to become deadlocked" so the latter behaviour seems right. But GetWindowText seems to expect such a deadlock: "If the target window is owned by the current process, GetWindowText causes a WM_GETTEXT message to be sent to the specified window or control. If the target window is owned by another process and has a caption, GetWindowText retrieves the window caption text. If the window does not have a caption, the return value is a null string. This behavior is by design. It allows applications to call GetWindowText without hanging if the process that owns the target window is hung." Sending the WM_GETTEXT only for local windows in the FindWindow loop makes the application continue and at some point the event is triggered. How should wine handle that case? Sould the caption be stored on the server? I it perhaps already? Bye Uwe Bonnes bon(a)elektron.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de Free Software: If you contribute nothing, expect nothing --

ReadFile behaviour on COMs
by Mike McCormack Oct. 27, 2001

Oct. 27, 2001

Hey Uwe, There is still a number of problems with the COMM code that i am slowly fixing. They are: * comm ports opened without FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED don't use (any) read and write timeouts (patch in the works) * comm timeouts don't work 100% correctly * WaitCommEvent only works for EV_RXCHAR (difficult to solve correctly) Sounds like your problem might be related to #2. There are a few special cases for the values in the COMMTIMEOUTS structure that aren't being dealt with at the moment. Could you please post a -debugmsg +file,+comm trace and i'll have a look at it on Monday. Additionally, if the software is available online somewhere, please post a link to it.

problem with virtualdub.
by Roger Fujii Oct. 26, 2001

Oct. 26, 2001

there seems to be a funky problem with virtualdub (http://virutaldub.sourceforge.net) Get differing results between solaris and linux, but both seems to fail before the app comes up. Under solaris, it seems like something is screwed up with the loader - when it tries to load the binary, it dies in dump_exports because what's at pe_exports is just garbage. Not sure where it's dying under linux (probably the same place) - don't have a devel environment there (yet). Nothing unusual seems to happen before it gets there (both solaris/linux binaries run sol.exe and other stuff just fine). My suspicion is that the IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_EXPORT data isn't pointing to what wine thinks is there, but would like someone who knows more about the loader to say something.... can anyone help shed more light onto this? -r

Ok, how about this: Each system parameter has "is_loaded" flag which shows whether the parameter is loaded or not. Parameters, stored directly in SysParametersInfo are loaded from registry only when they are requested and the flag is "false", after the loading the flag is set to "true". On interprocess notification of the parameter change the corresponding parameter flag is set to "false". The parameter will be reloaded when it is requested the next time. Parameters, backed by GetSystemMetrics are processed differently. These parameters are always loaded. They are reloaded right away on interprocess change notification. We can't do lazy loading because GetSystemMetrics returns its values from system metrics array and we don't want to complicate this function. I'm going to implement the flags as a bit array. Index constants for this array will be defined separately. >>I'll think about it more.

Disregard the patches "SystemParametersInfo / GetSystemMetrics", "SPI_GET/SETBORDER". I'll implement the discussed above changes and resubmit them. Do you still think it is better don't affect X settings from Wine? Please let me know. While we are on this - what about other my patch - "hello5.c"?

ReadFile behaviour on COMs
by Uwe Bonnes Oct. 26, 2001

Oct. 26, 2001

Hallo, somebody showed me an application speaking to a device connected to the serial port. The application failed after some successfull communication steps. As the protocoll is available in some other (open source programm) we could see that the program requested two bytes from the device , but ReadFile only delivered one byte (with that byte beeing the right one of the expected two byte sequence). I suspect ReadFile to be the culprit. While the api description tells to read all requested bytes ( beside of real errors), our implementation happilies returns fewer bytes than requested. In the case of COM devices, all timeouts of the SetCommTimeout structure should be checked two. Anyone with an implementaion for that?

Hi Andreas, i had a bit more free time, so i tracked down the rendering problem in NetTerm a bit more. The problem occurs after SelectVisRgn16 is called with the same region as that currently selected in the DC. (eg. dc->hVisRgn == hrgn ). I made a dodgy patch to fix the problem by incrementing the reference count of the region in this case, but i don't know how to fix it properly, because i don't know much about region handling. With the dodgy patch, NetTerm's windows paints properly. Perhaps perhaps you or somebody has a better way to fix the problem?

ptrace differences in kernel 2.4.7
by Simon Britnell Oct. 24, 2001

Oct. 24, 2001

Having reviewed the changelog for Linux 2.4.7, I find that the ptrace attach code was amalgamated from many architecture dependant files into one function : ptrace_attach. This function differs from previous functions on i386 in that it returns EPERM if: 1) task->mm is NULL 2) task->pid <= 1 3) !task->mm->dumpable whereas pre 2.4.7 was !task->dumpable Further investigation shows that dumpable has been moved from task_struct to mm_struct. My investigation has not been sufficient to determine the final cause, but most things can be overridden by CAP_SYS_PTRACE, which I'll look into tomorrow PM. G'night all. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo! Personals. http://personals.yahoo.com

InstallShield 6 - success
by Ove Kaaven Oct. 24, 2001

Oct. 24, 2001

Apart from the two patches I just submitted to wine-patches, a stdole32.tlb from real Windows, and the registry entries in winedefault.reg, you need my interprocess com hacks, which I've now put on WineHQ: http://www.winehq.com/~ovek/install.diff The installation progress bar doesn't seem to display for some reason (might be a repaint issue or something else related to Alexandre's latest work, or something completely different, don't know), but anyway, even if it doesn't tell you its progress, it actually successfully installs now! I hope I can get enough time to structure that interprocess com stuff properly, so that it can work the way MS designed it, which involves RPCRT4.dll and friends...

OK, I see that you did this part too, which I hadn't submitted yet... but there's still one thing missing; the .exe file is still open inside the wineserver, still having two outstanding references: - main_exe_file in scheduler/process.c - process->exe.file in server/process.c Since main_exe_file is apparently never used again anyway after init_process_done, I've simply used the following hack to close the .exe file on the wineserver side, assuming the server file object only needs to exist to detect sharing violations, not for actually ever accessing the file again: --- server/process.c 2001/03/05 22:55:56 1.1.1.9 +++ server/process.c 2001/10/19 16:40:52 1.4 @@ -802,6 +802,8 @@ { if (process->exe.file) release_object( process->exe.file ); process->exe.file = file; + /* close the unix file, so the media the file was on can be changed */ + remove_select_user( (struct object *)file ); } generate_startup_debug_events( current->process, req->entry ); set_event( process->init_event ); Maybe you have a better way to do it?

Latest in the homeworld/wineoss saga.
by Simon Britnell Oct. 24, 2001

Oct. 24, 2001

I've attacked homeworld for a couple of hours with IDA free and none of the places that set the value of the NULL pointer are remotely close to a waveOutWrite call. I've run -debugmsg +wave with and without the synchronous wodWrite patch. The results are fairly large so I won't send them unless you feel they're particularly useful. To summarise: Both have 2 wodOpen calls. Both produce "Oooch buffer underrun" messages. The synchronous wodWrite version does only one wodWrite and a large number of Oooch messages. The asynchronous one produces one Oooch per wodWrite. Here's a more detailed description of the fault, followed by a couple of ideas on what's really going wrong: -- DESCRIPTION OF STARTUP -- The game starts with a 2D animated Sierra online logo followed by an animated relic logo and then drops into the game menus which are 2D graphics. mode. There are 3 distinct behaviours by the game: 1) Immediately prior to playing the Sierra logo, the game produces an exception report complaining of a page fault referencing 0x0000000. The animation starts and plays behind the exception dialog, but there is no sound. If the exception dialog is ignored, it disappears when the game menu is drawn. The menus can be navigated until either the graphics mode is changed or the actual game is started at which time wine hangs. top shows 30% of CPU taken by each of two wine processes and a wineserver. Tracing with remote gdb shows WaitForSingleObject in the stack traces, when they can be seen (Usually by running gdb as root). I usually have trouble getting the correct symbols loaded. 2) As per (1) above, but no exception dialog appears. 3) The game starts and runs with sound. There is no hang. While writing this, I had an idea. More to follow in a later post :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!

datacache bug
by giorgian Oct. 24, 2001

Oct. 24, 2001

hi all, as i wrote few days ago, there's a problem with the DataCache_GetAdvise function in dlls/ole32/datacache.c: the call (this->sinkInterface)->lpVtbl->QueryInterface(this->sinkInterface, &IID_IAdviseSink, (void**)ppAdvSink); crashes since this->sinkInterface is NULL. executing the program with the --debugmsg +relay option i've seen that there are no calls to DataCache_SetAdvise before this call, the sinkInferface field is not initialized. but the program works well under M$window$. looking here and there in the source, i tried to replace this call with this->lpvtbl2->QueryInterface(this->lpvtbl2, &IID_IAdviseSink, (void**)ppAdvSink); i don't know why, but it works. ok, what should i do now to let the world know this? thanks -- Pietro Giorgianni, Icube s.r.l.

Ladislav Sladecek <lsla(a)post.cz> posted a program to check the 16bit version back in august: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2001/08/0275.html I think the revert is the right thing to do. And this is what I get on the Win95 computers I have access to. I also recently found that quite a few installers are not happy with 0x0304. I attached Ladislav's 16bit test application and also attached a application I wrote that dumps what the 32bit GetVersion and GetVersionEx return. Bob, how did you come up with 0x07000304? Was it from the Daggerfall application or from a windows computer? If the latter, then could you run the attached tests and report what the results? Here are the result of the tests I have done here: * Win95 (the original version): It does indeed return 0x5f03 in 16bit mode. The CSDVersion does not seem to match in 32bit mode: GetVersion: version = 0xc0000004 GetVersionInfoEx: size = 148 major = 4 minor = 0 build = 0x40003b6 platform = VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS CSDVersion= "" vs. "Win95" in Wine I don't know if this could cause problems. * Win98SE: Returns 0x5f03 in 16bit mode, like Wine. No problem in 16bit mode. In 32bit mode I get some discrepencies, probably because this is SE and not the original 98: GetVersion: version = 0xc0000a04 GetVersionInfoEx: size = 148 major = 4 minor = 10 build = 0x40a08ae vs. 0x40A07CE in Wine platform = VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS CSDVersion= " A " vs. "Win98" in Wine * NT4: Everything is fine. Tonight I hope to get results for Win2000 and WinXP. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ RFC 2549: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2549.txt IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service

The results were ... interesting. The first thing I noticed was that my problem attaching to the process went away, ie. winedbg started to work. The second thing that happened was that the problem I experience went from being intermittant to constant and now also invariably throws a page fault exception (in the same place it intermittantly threw an exception). Tracing back from that page fault is proving difficult as the page fault occurs with a value that's been stored on the heap at some prior point in the execution. Any tips for rapid location of where it's being stored? I suspect it's a null return from a wine system call. > so, back to square 1. can you at least trace the > program with > -debugmsg +wave (and still capture the hanging ?) Unfortunately, turning -debugmsg +wave on has so far made the problem go away. I'll have another couple of attempts this PM as its been quite intermittant. Also, it occurs to me to try -debugmsg +wave with the (broken) WaitForSingleObject patch I mentioned above. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Yes, there are some differences between our Unicode tables and the Windows ones. It shouldn't really matter, and if it does it's easy to fix.

Shlwapi functions _29, _30, _31

Alexandre, Thank you for simplifing these functions when you committed them. I thought you might want to know that they do act slightly differently from the versions in the native shlwapi.dll (version 5.50.4807.2300): _29 (iswspace) - extra TRUE for 0x1680, 0x202f _30 (iswblank) - missing TRUE for 0x3000 _31 (iswpunct) - missing TRUE for 0x00aa, 0x00b5, 0x00bb, 0x0192, 0x05ba - extra TRUE for 0x02df, 0x02ea-0x02ee, 0x0346-0x034e, 0x0361, 0x0488-0x0489, 0x058a, 0x0591-0x05a1, 0x05a3-0x05af, 0x05c4, 0x0653-0x0655 (+ probably many more - I stopped comparing here). I assume that the differences may be due to revisions of the Unicode standard, but that is an assumption only. Guy Albertelli <<galberte(a)neo.lrun.com>>
