I was also looking at "time" over the past couple of days, from the "GetDateFormat" side of things (files/dos_fs.c). I note that (Win98) SystemTimeToFileTime etc do not include any leap seconds (i.e. file time assumes no leap seconds). Bill

This fixes wineserver crashes exposed by recent tests, in the unmerged parts of the RPC code. Parts of this may never see the light of day. Relative to H_PL0, of course. LICENSE: X11 CHANGELOG: * dlls/rpcrt4: rpc_epmap.c; server: rpc_epmap.c: Greg Turner <gmturner007(a)ameritech.net> - don't crash the wineserver. - don't printf("%s", NULL). -- gmt "The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people" --President Bill Clinton, MTV interview, 1993

What's more, it was introduced after adding ~20 lines of code, and I knew it. Beat that! To my credit I will say that this was assembly (68000), and that the problem manifested itself in such an unrelated area of the program, that I overruled my own judgment and searched the problem in the vicinity of where it happened. As life would have it, the real problem was a missing "#" (which means "use immediate value X", so instead it read "Take value from address X"). > O, well, >maybe I just need some extra sleep. > >Thanks a lot, encouragement is always appreciated. > > > >

Bug in SYSDEPS_CallOnStack()?
by Juraj Hercek Oct. 29, 2002

Oct. 29, 2002

Hi, When I was trying to get wine working on sparc solaris, I experienced troubles with exception handling. I always got error (after Ctrl + C): err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Exception frame is not in stack limits => unable to dispatch exception. After deeper insight into wine's guts I've figured out that problem lies in SYSDEPS_CallOnStack function (scheduler/sysdeps.c:236), which doesn't switch thread stack on sparcs -> I'll try to implement this soon. I also looked at implementation of this function for __i386__ (since it was just a couple of lines above... :o) ) and I think there is a mistake in implementation for _MSC_VER compiler. Original: ... __asm mov edx, 8[esp]; __asm mov fs:[0x04], esp; <--- __asm push edx; ... I think it should look like this: ... __asm mov edx, 8[esp]; __asm mov esp, fs:[0x04]; <--- __asm push edx; ... Just some questions: Is anyone compiling wine with microsoft compiler? If so, what are the reasons? Next, current snapshot from cvs doesn't compile on solaris, is anyone compiling wine on solaris? Regards, Juraj

That was my understanding as well, until I looked at the RegCloseKey and was thrown totally off-track: /* RegCloseKey */ ... return RtlNtStatusToDosError( NtClose( hkey ) ); which translates more or less to: /* NtClose */ ... SERVER_START_REQ( close_handle ) { req->handle = Handle; ret = wine_server_call( req ); if (!ret && reply->fd != -1) close( reply->fd ); } SERVER_END_REQ; ... Basically leading to the belief that there is actually an fd. (Ignoring the fact that we need to keep things general) Which, looking at the arch doesn't make much sense... lots of little files would do nobody good. Next time I'll ask before I'm lead to believe what I shouldn't. Greetings, Jaco

It would probably be easier to grab a printf > implementation from somewhere and convert it to Unicode. Can I swear on this mailing list? Please, I need to. And one would think I've never used the vfwprintf function before the way I'm making all these wrong assumptions. Damnit, I know the Win32 API. *sigh* Luckily my wife got most of the frustrations at my stupidity... On your suggestion: I've looked at the glibc one. No comments. I'll refrain and look a bit more... I do feel that we are making progress however, albeit slowly ;) Do you think it a good idea just doing the ASCII version now and get it into CVS without the W version. (Ripping out the vfwprintf for now.) I can then proceed to make this ASCII implementation into a full "real-prntf" implementation and subsequently, when we are all happy do the Unicode conversion. Basically I'm suggesting breaking it up into small(er) steps. Comments? Greetings, Jaco

Wineconsole feature request
by György 'Nog' Jeney Oct. 29, 2002

Oct. 29, 2002

Would it be possible for someone to add a feature to wineconsole so that when the child process exits the console isnt torn down immediatly? This would be very nice because some dos apps dont work when not run through the console and so it is impossible to see their command line syntax. nog.
