FW: argc/argv issue - More info, hack and questions...

by Ann and Jason Edmeades

Hi, I havent had any replies to the attached issue I was debugging - Can anyone assist, or should I just submit the patch. I know the patch works but I feel it is just masking a compatibility problem between two of the wine internal routines. Jason -----Original Message----- Hello, I am still investigating this argv/argc issue. The sequence of events as far as I can tell: CreateProcessA(NULL, "regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx",....) Process_CREATE calls fork_and_exec( NULL, "regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx", ...) This sees there is no explicitly specified filename so inserts wine and -- into the command line (now "wine -- regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx") Eventually the new process starts with the wine -- regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx as the command line, so it needs to strip off the inserted fields, and in PROCESS_InitWine, main_exe_name is correct (path\regsvr32.exe) but the argc/argv includes these new fields. At the top it states: (Scheduler/process.c, lines 491/492): app_argv++; /* remove argv[0] (wine itself) */ app_argc--; This obviously leaves behine the -- and things go downhill from there onwards. Interestingly wine -- regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx works fine, so there must be command line processing here which doesnt occur during the CreateProcess route. Question: Should fork_and_exec insert the -- into the command line? If it should, should PROCESS_InitWine check for it, ie: app_argv++; /* remove argv[0] (wine itself) */ app_argc--; if (app_argc && strcmp(app_argv[0], "--") == 0) { app_argv++; /* remove argv[1] ('--' inserted by fork_and_exec) */ app_argc--; } However, what implications are of doing this (it works, of course). This feels like hacking around an imcompatibility within wine but I am happy to submit a patch as it definitely resolves a problem for me. Regards, Jason

If someone has a better way please cvs diff -u me =) I have committed a different fix that I think should work too, please give it a try. We should be 100% Windows-compatible now so if it still doesn't work I'd say the problem is in Mingw. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Of course there's also the possibility that some systems might have a working lpr and a broken lp... It may be a better idea to make this configurable. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

clipping message

by Medland, Bill

Did someone want to know about this one? err:clipping:CLIPPING_UpdateGCRegion hVisRgn is zero. Please report this. (Our application printing a Crystal reports report from a DB2 database. I don't know if it's relevant but the data is read and under windows the preview display includes a treeview on the left with a couple of empty labels) If no-one else is interested I'll look into it later.

Re: patch for cups printers

by Michael Cardenas

Well, with my patch, if the registry entry says LPR: it will use lpr and if it says CUPS: it will use lp. How would you like to make it configurable?

Statusbar broken?

by Medland, Bill

I've just noticed that in the past few days all the stuff that normally appears in the statusbar etc at the bottom of our application has disappeared. Is this a known regression that someone is looking into or is it up to me? Bill

We can narrow the scope - give you only common controls or make a few people to own all GUI controls/issues... I prefer the first approach.
