Yes, everything is protected. The only exception is when using some of the native Win9x dlls that have shared data sections, in that case a wild pointer can crash other processes. But otherwise it shouldn't happen; and the wineserver should never crash no matter what the app does. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Getting a program to crash

by Duane Clark

Howdy, I am trying to make a program crash ;) Instead, the program apparently captures exceptions, pops up a dialog, and continues on. I am hoping for a way to prevent that from happening, and instead falling into the debugger. It does call EXC_RtlRaiseException when the exception occurs, but it is not clear to me how that function works. Hopefully I can comment out something there to get it to crash properly?

Is it still in use? It's in use, I'm not sure why the archives are empty. But note that the diffs I send there are the same than what you can get on sunsite, so archives wouldn't be all that useful anyway. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

See http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=%2Bjq*-eaVn%40news.virata.com Not that I know, but I suspect Wine is trying to avoid handing out pointers that Windows can't possibly hand out. I have a strong feeling of deja vu on this question... has it never been answered before? - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

wine robustness?

by Dan Kegel

Say, how much address space protection is there in Wine? If a Wine process follows a wild pointer or passes garbage arguments to a Windows function call, are Wineserver and the other wine processes protected? Imagine a user running Word, and also some less reliable windows program. When that other program crashes, it shouldn't take Word with it. One way to check that kind of protection is with programs like 'crashme': http://people.delphiforums.com/gjc/crashme.html Has anyone tried running crashme on wine yet? - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

system call tracing

by Dan Kegel

This looks like an interesting tool: http://razor.bindview.com/tools/desc/strace_readme.html It only traces NT native calls, but what the hey, it comes with source. -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAICS this is even the third time that you submit this. Don't you think that it would have been time to ask Alexandre what the hell he's been thinking about constantly rejecting it ? ;-) Have a nice day ! -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://mohr.de.tt
