Another Minor Mingw32 Patch
by Steven Edwards April 25, 2002

April 25, 2002

This one could have a configure check but I havent had the time to learn How to properly write one and mingw is the only platform I know of that doesn't have ftruncate support. If anyone has the time and wants to help I have about 4 or 5 things I need ./conf checks written for.

The problem I forsee with this is that it makes writing tests a bit tricky for functions that behave differently on different platforms (i.e. defining the failure conditions correctly). Otherwise, it is a good thing to strive for. I'll try to modify the tests I've written to behave in this manner, and see how much work it is. Unfortunately, it is somewhat difficult, since I don't (in general) have access to the platforms which don't support the functions. So I can write tests that pass on Win2k, Win98, and wine, but as soon as someone runs it on win95 or nt4.0, it will likely fail (since I have no idea what the failure mechanism will be on these platforms, and thus can't gaurd against it) until someone can provide enough feedback to allow the test to be fixed. My assumption has always been: Make the function work correctly on Windows, and then add todo's to support wine. Thus I've put the effort in upfront to catch errors when the application runs on an MS OS. It sounds to me that you are proposing a more wine-centric testing base (make the tests work in Wine, and fix problems encountered in Windows as they pop up...or be a lot more knowledgeable than me at how Windows is supposed to behave). So far I have written all my tests based purely on the MSDN spec, and then tweaked them when an OS behaves differently than documented. If I don't use OS-specific checks, I just feel like I'm leaving a known whole in my test if I don't account for the the cases which are documented not to work (and which I don't know how they will behave). For instance the thread.c test that I wrote makes (some) checks for access control, which only work on win2k+. The way I wrote the test, it just worked in win98 when I finally got around to testing it. Had I just executed the checks, I would have had no idea how Win98 would behave (hopefully with a nice SetError, but god only knows), and the test would certainly have failed on win98 until I was able to try it and figure out how it dealt with this unsupported functionality. Lastly, what is the recomendation for dealing with cases like this: lstrcpyA(tmpstr,"aaaaaaaa"); len1=GetTempPathA(len,tmpstr); /*this should fail because len is too small */ ok(len1==len+1, "GetTempPathA should return string length %d instead of %d",len+1,len1); if(WIN2K_PLUS(version)) { /* in Win2k, the path won't be modified, but in win98, wine it is */ todo_wine { ok(lstrcmpiA(tmpstr,"aaaaaaaa")==0, "GetTempPathA should not have modified the buffer"); } } One answer is not to test this, since it is not documented what the result will be, but the OSes certainly behave differently, and it is possible that some program takes advantage of this. I'm sure there are other similar cases, and I'd like to know (in general) what the right solution will be. I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill, and I'll just try modifying my tests to work the way Alexandre proposes. I'm just afraid this is setting additonal obstacles for (non Wine) developers to write regression tests. Thanks, .Geoff

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection
by Insyde April 24, 2002

April 24, 2002

Hi, Starting a program with: wine --winver win2k --debugmsg -relay,+x11drv,+snoop+dll iyp022.exe (the same error occurs with --winver win98/win95) gives me the folowing error: x11drv: Warning: $DISPLAY variable ignored, using ':0.0' specified in config file fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet. err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x400f164c "module.c: loader_section" wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) fs=021f wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... x11drv: Warning: $DISPLAY variable ignored, using ':0.0' specified in config file err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x400f164c "module.c: loader_section" wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) fs=021f err:win:WIN_FindWndPtr window 30021 belongs to other process err:win:WIN_FindWndPtr window 30021 belongs to other process In the debbuger windows I have some debug msgs that the debbuger is trying to load and at the end it shows this message: Unhandled exception: wait failed on critical section 0x400f164c (loader_section in libntdll.dll.so) First chance exception: wait failed on critical section 0x400f164c (loader_section in libntdll.dll.so) and this message keeps repeating. How can I solve this? Already tryed with native ntdll.dll and it doesn't work. The program runs OK under Windows. Another problem I'm having is that if I don't specify --winver it doesn't work at all. Is it right? Thanks, Ricardo.

minor regression testing patch
by Paul Millar April 24, 2002

April 24, 2002

Hi, Found attached bug. Curiously, the test doesn't fail even if wine is pretending to be Windows 95 :) ChangeLog: Fixed typo "Major" -> "Minor" BTW, After the patch, the test for WIN98 or later is: #define WIN98_PLUS(version) (version.dwMajorVersion==4 && \ version.dwMinorVersion>0) but, MS's documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/sysinfo_49iw.asp suggests something more like: #define WIN98_PLUS(version) \ ( (version.dwPlatformId == VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS) && \ ( (version.dwMajorVersion > 4) || \ (version.dwMajorVersion==4 && version.dwMinorVersion>0))) Is this more correct? ---- Paul Millar

In any case, there is already wine/test.h, so I think adding some defines in there should be ok (I don't have a copy in front of me, so maybe it's not exactly the right place). If I don't see any further activity on this thread, I'll just stick the required defines in there next time I submit a test, and see if anyone complains. .Geoff

Porting WineLib on PPC, using Bochs for binaries
by KandY April 24, 2002

April 24, 2002

Hi everybody, I'm currently very interested by porting some of the Wine tech.on PPC. I've been looking for people interested in this kind of painful duty but I didn't see anybody carrying this type of idea anywhere on the Web. I've already mailed some people on that subject and someone told me some people were trying to port WineLib on Sparc (Ulrich Weigand for instance...). Does anybody of you have more information on that ? Did somebody did that somewhere on the globe? Besides that, to achieve my binary compatibility, I was looking at the Bochs emulation. Of course, I'm currently affected by some messages on the web saying the performances are not that great. I have nothing against emulation of machines but I only want to know of it is possible to port the Bochs on my Linux PPC and what performances can I expect (aren't there any benches to help me make my decision ?). Someone said that with a PIII 933, one can reach 3.5MIPS. Who can tell me success stories on that before I start working ? Yann K.
