Deadlock?
by Shachar Shemesh Dec. 11, 2003

Dec. 11, 2003

When trying to run Microsoft Digital Image Pro, I occasionally get problems when loading it. The splash screen comes up, and then it hangs. This problem only happens occasionally. I have not, to date, managed to reproduce it with relay turned on. This is what I do get on screen: err:module:import_dll No implementation for USER32.dll.GetScrollBarInfo imported from L"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Picture It! 9\\piutil.dll", setting to 0xdeadbeef err:font:ReadFontDir Can't open directory "/win/windows/fonts" err:imagelist:ImageList_LoadImageW Error loading image! err:toolbar:ToolbarWindowProc unknown msg 204e wp=000000ca lp=4080deec err:toolbar:ToolbarWindowProc unknown msg 204e wp=000000ca lp=4080ea54 err:toolbar:ToolbarWindowProc unknown msg 2210 wp=00ca0001 lp=00010051 err:toolbar:ToolbarWindowProc unknown msg 204e wp=40c757d8 lp=4080eaa4 err:toolbar:ToolbarWindowProc unknown msg 2210 wp=57d80001 lp=00010053 fixme:toolbar:TOOLBAR_SetPadding stub - nothing done with values, cx=7, cy=9 fixme:imm:ImmAssociateContext (0x10056, (nil)): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmAssociateContext (0x10058, (nil)): semi-stub fixme:imm:ImmAssociateContext (0x1005a, (nil)): semi-stub fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32784,0x10056,-4,0)-stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32784,0x1005a,-4,0)-stub! fixme:hook:NotifyWinEvent (32782,0x10058,-4,0)-stub! err:toolbar:ToolbarWindowProc unknown msg 204e wp=000000ca lp=4080e61c fixme:imm:ImmAssociateContext (0x1009d, (nil)): semi-stub err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x4020fc60 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 000c, retrying (60 sec) err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7c38b208 "?" wait timed out in thread 000c, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec) -- Shachar Shemesh Open Source integration & consulting Home page & resume - http://www.shemesh.biz/

Re: I made a wish, wrote a letter to Santa...
by Subhobroto Sinha Dec. 11, 2003

Dec. 11, 2003

Actually Shachar, I was thinking along these lines: (1) Programs in WINE are making direct calls to internal functions (which are not really Win32, but made by us using which we can use te Win32 functions as wrappers...) and that's just possible because C functions are globally callable (the only thing you really need to keep the compiler happy is the function prototype) And that's a bad thing, because while developing tools we should really forget that we are coding fo WINE, and just write using Win32 SDK APIs... Encapsulating internal WINE functions as private, and exposing them using the correct APIs would be better engineering... Just to force lazy people like us to write protable code (you see, calling internal WINE functions are a lot easier than calling the corresponding wrappers.. (2) A few things like DirectX and COM are so very closely tied with C++ objects that implementing them in C seems an overkill to me. But after knowing they are done, I have nothing against that .... (3) C++ is VERY reusable. WINE has a lot of potential for reusablity , but by doing C where it was not needed, we are unnecessarily having to spend time finding out pieces here and there in the huge code structure. WINE is recieving more interest than ever, and we can only encourage people to join us by giving something they too can reuse, and people who really work for WINE are those types who start writing their own code if they find that tracing down a function and it's references will take more time. For example, whatever I have gone through (which is VERY little BTW..), I still feel that implementing many tools like winemenubuilder or winefile would have been better in C++ Infact, I intent to do some experimentation after Xmas (I am having my semester exams now, so ..) Hope what I said reaches you all ;) Season's greetings Subhobroto <snip> On Thu, 11 Dec 2003 Shachar Shemesh wrote : >I'm sorry, it has been YEARS since I wrote anything OLE related (my very first Windows program was an OLE server, hand coded, that did a shell extension.

Re: Adding support for a USB device

If so, what do I need to do to get >CreateFile to return the right handle? I think it really depends on the type of device and the possibility to rewrite the device driver or not. \\.\MyDevice0 is just a device driver name which at some point is registered in the registry with the appropriate VXD, SYS, or WDM driver file. If you know the exact DeviceIOControls called into that driver with its parameters and all, you could rewrite the VXD, SYS or WDM driver to call directly the appropriate Unix device driver calls and maybe compile it as a Winelib driver. With a bit hacking in the CreateFile function it should be possible to call such a driver over DeviceIOControl or you could add the according code to the above mentioned VXDList. >Or should I write an external driver that gets loaded by wine? If so, >how would I do that? What are the chances that the Windows driver for >this device would just work with wine? If you don't know these details and want to use the original device driver you are probably out of luck. The current CreateFile implementation is not really up to the task of loading an external native device driver and invoke it over the DeviceIOControl (which could probably be remedied with a little hacking at this point) and what is much more problematic there is little or no support for a lot of the Windows kernel services most device driver usually expect to be able to call. When they are not able to link to one or more of those functions at load time, loading of the device driver will simply fail in Wine, as it does with normal DLL files under all Win32 implementations, too.

Crash early in running msiexec.exe
by Dan Kegel Dec. 11, 2003

Dec. 11, 2003

This is on RH9 SMP with wine-20031118. Trying to run the MS SFU 3.0 (hey, I got it for $5 from that special offer they ran on slashdot a couple weeks ago...) setup.exe from the commandline yields the crash: Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x0049002e in 32-bit code (0x400b73fd).

Re: PATCH for Bugs 1844 and 1845

I sent two patches about a week ago. The first one: "Bug 1844: Point Size in DLG_TEMPLATE may be negative" made it into the CVS (I browsed with: http://cvs.winehq.com/cvsweb) The second "Bug 1845: Return values of CharUpperA and CharLowerA" did not. Any reasons to reject this patch? I also wrote an conformance test for this problem. Did the case mentioned on the WINE web site happen? "Rejected patches might receive a note in the wine-devel mailing list, and accidentally ignored patches will disappear into a silent, featureless void. Please resubmit if this happens to your patch." -- Andy

multi-level subdirs under dlls/
by Dimitrie O. Paun Dec. 11, 2003

Dec. 11, 2003

Hi folks, I know people are concerned right now with more important matters, but given that (1) we're cleaning up the tree, and (2) we're getting close to 0.9, I figured it maybe time to bring this up. Namely, under dlls/ we have by and large a flat structure, with the exception of a few 'special' cases (there's always have to be special cases :/). I find this rather upsetting, for the following reasons: -- the organization is confusing since it implies some sort of dependency that's not there (they are all .dlls) -- it makes grepping so much more difficult. Instead of the simple: grep BLAH dlls/*/*.[ch] we need to resort to find, etc. -- it makes scripts in general needlessly complicated -- it hides those parts in the depth of tree -- it is inconsistent with the rest of our DLLs Now, I know that this is mainly historical, but why not fix it? Yeah, we're going to loose a bit of CVS history, but not quite, because the move can mark that so in the log. So we're only making 'cvs log' on a few files a bit more complicated, but we're simplifying every day operation by so much. I think it's a clear win. Here is the list of the offending DLLs: ddraw/d3ddevice ddraw/dclipper ddraw/ddraw ddraw/direct3d ddraw/dpalette ddraw/dsurface dinput/joystick dinput/keyboard dinput/mouse gdi/enhmfdrv gdi/mfdrv msacm/imaadp32 msacm/msg711 msacm/msadp32 msacm/winemp3 msvideo/msrle32 user/dde wineps/data winmm/joystick winmm/mcianim winmm/mciavi winmm/mcicda winmm/mciseq winmm/mciwave winmm/midimap winmm/wavemap winmm/wineoss winmm/winearts winmm/winealsa winmm/winenas winmm/wineaudioio winmm/winejack Pretty please... -- Dimi.

Partial success: RoughDraft 2.11
by Dan Kegel Dec. 11, 2003

Dec. 11, 2003

On a whim, I tried out RoughDraft 2.11 under wine-20031118 this morning. It installed and ran with some anomolies (e.g. the installer's EULA doesn't display at all!, .doc import works really poorly, a few pixels misplaced here and there, can't invoke web browser to display help), but it might be good enough for some users. It's a free download at http://www.rsalsbury.co.uk/rd.htm and I recommend it as a test app. His FAQ says no Linux or Mac port is planned, so there must be interest out there, and he'd probably be tickled pink if Wine improved to the point where it ran his app well enough for aunt Tilly to use. Sources not available but the author seems like a good guy, and would probably be willing to work with us if we really needed it (especially if we fixed a few things first, like that EULA display problem). - Dan

I made a wish, wrote a letter to Santa...
by Subhobroto Sinha Dec. 11, 2003

Dec. 11, 2003

With XMas nearing, I thought it was time I made my yearly wish to Santa - that he would let his elves use C++ in WINE. (Just in case, you did not know Santa's email address, it's 'julliard[at]winehq.org', and you can make your wishes at 'wine-devel[at]winehq.com'..) You see, Santa was always so good - he answered people's prayers and got together his obedient elves to run Win32 on Non-Windows platforms! However, soon many of his elves found out that technologies like MFC, WTL, ATL, COM, DCOM, COM+ and other MS bloops were getting too complex to be implemented using plain C, and thus developments in those areas were soon in limbo. But that could be solved using yet another language called C++ - if only Santa would let it be. Oh please Santa ! Let us adultrate WINE with C++, please. It's not that we will rewrite everything in C++ once we get the green signal - things like the loader, scheduler, and most of the Win32 SDK does not need C++ at all, but what about MFC, COM, OLE ? Not that I expect to compile native MFC source using WineLib, but at least we can write the runtimes so that native MFC apps can atleast run under WINE ? DirectX oozes of classes,inheritance,abstaction and everything C++ as does OLE, COM and already our implementations have structure object pointers running wild, whereas encapsulation would have done away with it ! As a simple explanation, we might take our 'This' hack wheras C++ would let have us use it as 'this' without even us worrying about it ! Also, there are many places in shell32, ole and shwlapi (I cannot comment on DirectX source as I do not have a graphics base at all ..) where initializing a few member variables from a constructor would have done away with some redundancy. Most of the time we are passing around multilevel pointers when a simple reference would have done: For example a call like Stream_LoadString( stm, unicode, &This->sString ); [To 'static HRESULT Stream_LoadString( IStream* stm, BOOL unicode,LPWSTR *pstr )'] can be made to a simple Stream_LoadString(sString); using C++ if we had the prototype rewritten to 'static HRESULT Stream_LoadString(LPWSTR& pstr )' and making it a member function of IStream (and thus the 'IStream* stm' and 'BOOL unicode' would be member variables..) We have code like that all over the place whenever COM etc comes into play and "That's Not A Good Thing(TM)" ! Please give us the green card - alternately, a new test branch may also be created just to see if C++ would work.All C++ based modfications would goto that tree. If that test branch works and delivers, it maybe merged into the main WINE tree, otherwise if it fails to deliver just remove it after a stipulated period ! If WINE stuck to C only because some platforms do not support C++, then will Win32 apps run on such OS at all ? Things like SPARC do not need MS Apps at all (though SPARC has C++..) For a expert discussion on C++ please see http://www.research.att.com/~bs/blast.html Microsoft themselves use C++ : <quote> Microsoft: Literally everything at Microsoft is built using various flavors of Visual C++ - mostly 6.0 and 7.0 but we do have a few holdouts still using 5.0 :-( and some products like Windows XP use more recent builds of the compiler. The list would include major products like: Windows XP Windows NT (NT4 and 2000) Windows 9x (95, 98,

Hi, I sent this mail : http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/06/0581.html to wine-devel almost six months ago about wine being the #1 download at rpmseek. I've kept a check on our status and we have been there #1 download and we have never dropped below the #1 spot in the last six months.. I'm not sure how many downloads were getting from them per day, week, month but were on top and that is saying something! Tom

Using Wine to isolate a bug in OLE2 files from Gnumeric
by Jody Goldberg Dec. 10, 2003

Dec. 10, 2003

Hello, I maintain Gnumeric and have run into a problems when writing xls files larger than 13-14 meg. MS excel can read them, but promptly corrupts them. I had hoped this was a windows bug, but just in case I installed an older copy of cross over office with office 2k. That combination produced exactly the same sort of corruption. That is likely good news to wine developers, your emulation is excellent. It also means that the problem is clearly on my end. A sample file is http://www.gnome.org/~jody/bigfile.xls.bz2 (bunzip2 and keep a copy because it gets corrupted) Loading it into MS Excel works smoothly, but subsequent reloads fail and the file is corrupt. It seems like the extended meta block allocation tables are being lost for some reason. Are there any OLE2 file format experts about that might have some insight ? Many Thanks Jody PS Please CC me on responses, I am not subscribed to the list.

To be honest, if you follow my previous posts, I DID write some C++. Albeit, that was not reallt necessary ... ;) Anyways, I will submit a pure C and a C++ version of future patches, sch that both work under the current WINE. After that, it will be upto Sir Julliard... Season's Greetings Subhobroto Sinha >On Wed, 10 Dec 2003 Sir Marcus Meissner wrote thus: >Read what Alexandre wrote.

Issues in typelib.c with installshield 7
by Andrew de Quincey Dec. 10, 2003

Dec. 10, 2003

Hi, today I've been trying to get an Installshield 7 installer going. I think I've seen reports from other people about having problems as well. The problems I've been having stem from the implementation of ITypeLib/ITypeInfo/etc in oleaut32. The first problem is as follows: Installshield has a TLB which contains a type hiererachy as follows: IDispatch : ISomething : : ISomething2 An instance of ISomething2 is created. Installshield attempts to look up a method which is only defined in ISomething. The lookup fails. This is because ISomething and ISomething2 inherit from IDispatch, and are marked as TKIND_DISPATCH in the typelib. However in the code, an upwards traversal of the type hierarchy is only done for the TKIND_INTERFACE. I've experimented with modifying the code so that it also does an upward traversal for TKIND_DISPATCH as well (as they are still interfaces which can inherit). It now finds the methods/values properly. (It still doesn't work as there are then reference count problems, but I'm looking into that.) However, can anyone confirm if my experimental modification is the correct behaviour? e.g. in ITypeInfo_fnGetIDsOfNames, I have changed it to if(This->TypeAttr.cImplTypes && (This->TypeAttr.typekind==TKIND_INTERFACE || This->TypeAttr.typekind==TKIND_DISPATCH)) {

Using a windows dll from a winelib or possibly native linux app.
by Arthur Bergman Dec. 10, 2003

Dec. 10, 2003

Hi, I have been trying to develop an application using a vendor provided dll from an external vendor to work under linux. If we develop the app on a windows box and move it over to the wine environment it works, but it would be preferable to have a more native approach. So I tried using winelib and have progressed to a point where I have an application that compiles using the vendor supplied header files under gcc, and a vendor.dll.spec file that describes the DLL. However when I compile everything, the generated vendor.dll.so file does contain the correct symbols but they are undefined. Having played around using winemaker and winedump while trying to read up everything on winelib I am now stuck and not sure how to proceed forward. Thanks Arthur

This is all good, but: +typedef struct CCPRIVATE +{ + LPCHOOSECOLORW lpcc; /* points to public known data structure */ + int nextuserdef; /* next free place in user defined color array */ 1 (one) space indent?!? Please man, stick to 4-space indent, especially when the file was using 4 space indent. Such small indentation makes the code difficult to follow. I have to admit, my eyesight is not what it used to be... -- Dimi.

Re: Using a windows dll from a winelib or possibly native linux app.

Hi Arthur, > the generated vendor.dll.so file does contain the correct > symbols but they are undefined. By any chance is the vendor dll implemented in C++? If not, this should work. If so, you have a bit of a problem, and one that no-one has seriously tried to overcome (or at least if they have, they haven't documented it). If the dll exports mangled names (_??xxx in the .spec file) then linking cannot occur when you build with gcc because gcc uses a different name mangling scheme. You would need to include stubs to call the real functions and export these with the gcc-mangled names, either by reimplementing the functions inside the dll, or calling through to the real dll with function pointers and GetProcAddress(). Are the vender dll/headers redistributable? Cheers, Jon __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/
