Re: [wined3d] update hw support

HAL? OK it's not much less Linux specific right now than anything else, but HAL is supposed to be the canonical hardware abstraction so it makes sense to use it.

It even was implemented and working, but it is impossible to do it in an acceptable way for Wine. That's because we don't have a good way to embed Gecko's window inside a Wine window.

Unless the installer is using TryEnterCriticalSection, I would expect CPU utilisation to be 0% when deadlocking. Relay logs generally give the best clues in this kind of situation. -- Rob Shearman

You can't really speed up the uploading of bitmaps to the X server when the state has been changed to DIB_Status_AppMod since you can't tell what has changed, but I do think your idea is good for downloading the bitmap from the X server when in the GDI state. I would maybe suggest making the changed rect an argument to the coerce function though so it isn't possible for GDI functions to forget to do it before calling coerce. -- Rob Shearman

Re: msvcrt incompatibility in Origin 6.0 when saving documents

Olaf> It sounds the same. ret means the address of the piece of code calling the function retval is the actual return value of the function returning to the caller. With a void function (like ftime time.c: * _ftime (MSVCRT.@) time.c:void _ftime(struct MSVCRT__timeb *buf) ) it doesn't make sense. B.t.w., vararg functions (look in msvcrt.spec) don't appear in the relay trace. Olaf> There are still some megs in front of me... Perhaps you could Olaf> comment my discoveries so far.

The difference in the cipow seems of importance ( math.c:double _CIpow(void) ). I am not sure about a double as retval. Perhaps you can instrument dll/msvcrt/math.c with the patch below and run with (additional or exclusive) WINEDEBUG=+msvrt and look if the arguments and result look right.
