After your patch to comcat I was about to load and test a few applications that depended on comcat under 9x. It would be nice if I could register the rest of the dlls and test.

I wrote the regsvr.[hc] in dlls/comcat with the intent of their being useful for other dlls' self-registration. It should be possible to copy regsvr.h and regsvr.c, tweak the implementations of DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer, and write the appropriate regsvr structure definitions, and have made another dll self-registerable. I would be willing to do that myself for other dlls if those responsible for them ask nicely. :-) This reminds me that a self-registerable dll is supposed to have a VS_VERSION_INFO resource, with an empty "OLESelfRegister" value in the "StringFileInfo" block. comcat.dll has no resources; is there a standard Wine way to add such version info?

I'm trying to learn a little c++ with my work on geoshell so I will see what I can do. You may get a .exe in a few weeks. Thanks Steven > The real problem is having something to seriously > test it.

Re: AutoCAD2000 again and CreateFiber

IMO, writting the fiber functions by itself doesn't seem too complicated (mainly coroutines, and a couples of setjmp/longjmp should do the trick) we may have a bit more trouble trying to set up the same layout for the TEB (NT_TIB) as requested (mostly because two APIs for fibers are actually macros directly accessing the TEB) > BTW, looking for help on the net, i haven't really understood the difference > between a regular thread and a fiber (only caught that use of fibers instead > of threads is somehow discouraged...) there are differences : - threads scheduling is done by the scheduler, while the programmer has to manually ask for a fiber schedule (in old computer science terms, you could see fibers as coroutines) - on a SMP system, different threads can actually execute in //, while fibers won't (at least the ones attached to the same thread) A+

Well, to directly answer your question - no, I'm not sure what it means. But I see the same thing when I compile on sparc, and it doesn't seem to have any obvious impact on things... Warren

No, because wine can include X11 code and sending it to wine-patches I implicitly given it the LGPL license.

Virtual Pages difference - Spotted with VirtualQuery()

by Max

As usual, AutoCAD seems to be a good test-bench for wine :-) I spotted the problem that seemed coming from VirtualQuety function, but that is (I guess... hmmmm) more a problem of memory handling in wine. I made a little test app; here the results in wine and win2k, later on the app itself : WINE RESULTS : Memory info about '004012F0' : Base Address : 00401000 Allocation Base : 00400000 Allocation Protect : PAGE_READONLY | PAGE_WRITECOPY | PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE | PAGE_NOACCESS Region Size : 00017000 State : MEM_COMMIT Protect : PAGE_WRITECOPY <----- HERE Type : MEM_PRIVATE WIN2k RESULTS : Memory info about '004012F0' : Base Address : 00401000 Allocation Base : 00400000 Allocation Protect : PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY Region Size : 00001000 State : MEM_COMMIT Protect : PAGE_EXECUTE_READ <---- AND HERE Type : MEM_IMAGE Well, dunno too much about Type field, I didn't find an app that check it yet; I did find the app that uses Protect flag; I think it's poor coded, but as usual we should make bad apps work too :-) The app put some data in code page, not yet spotted if hard or soft-coded, then before reading it checks Protect field to see if it has not set the PAGE_GUARD, NO_ACCESS and WRITECOPY flags; if t has, it hangs some 10.000 lines later (sigh....) I think wine should set Protect flag quite as like as possible as windoze For AutoCAD2000 I put a dirty hack in process.c, but is really ugly; i'd prefer not to put my hands (bytes ?) too deeply inside some code that I don't understand completely... Attached is the test source (compiled in Borland CBuilder, but should work with any compiler, apart some unuseful pragma's). If needed I can post the compiled too :-) Regards Max
