Wine & Valgrind 2.2.0
by Robert Shearman March 11, 2005

March 11, 2005

Hi all, I notice there has been interest from developers wanting to run valgrind with wine. I have been doing this successfully with the attached patch applied. Note that there are some false positives from the thread start routines caused by a bug in valgrind. Apparantly this is fixed in the latest cvs, but I have not tried it. I find the --tool=memcheck option the most useful, which can be used for finding the source of memory corruption. Rob

The patch doesn't match the bug. The bug says changing users.reg fixes it, but this change would affect system.reg. Or, to echo what Paul said, the bug says the change should go in HKCU, but the patch changes HKLM. This should be set when shell32 is registered. It is for me, anyway. There are two keys, "Shell Folders" and "User Shell Folders". Only "User Shell Folders" affects shell32's behavior, but for backward compatibility it writes what it finds there to "Shell Folders". This is what MS shell32 versions 5 and higher do too (and there's a test case that demonstrates it.) Anyway, take a look at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell in both Shell Folders and User Shell Folders. You should see entries for Cache, Cookies, Desktop, Favorites, History, NetHood, Personal, PrintHood, Programs, Recent, SendTo, StartMenu, StartUp, and Templates. If not, reregistering shell32 should fix it. --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

flexible-mmap breaks application
by Uwe Bonnes March 11, 2005

March 11, 2005

Hallo, from the XILINX Ise suite (version 6.3 tested), the GUI (_pn.exe) and the web update (webupdate.exe) crash with recent CVS when run on a 2.6 Kernel (Suse 9.2, 2.6.11.1-20050307183958-default, but also the default 2.6 distribution kernel and a Athlon/ Pentium M). Both programs run fine with 2.4 (meeding a step back to Suse 9.0, but the same wine executable, only tested on the Athlon). The problem was hard to pinpoint, but I suspected differences in HeapAlloc() return values to cause the problem, hinted by looking at the disassembly where the error happens. Clearly there is a difference between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels: While mmap2() in kernel 2.4 in map_view() returns values in the 0x4000 0000 range, kernel 2.6 returns values like 0xb7fe9000, 0x58710000, 0xa07f0000 and 0x77abf000. A check in RtlAllocateHeap() for return values above 0x80000000 also triggers with both programs when run on 2.6 and not with 2.4. Looking deeper, I found http://lwn.net/Articles/92281/ about flexible-mmap-update.patch and the wine-devel discussion from around new year about "Re: ptrace single-stepping change breaks Wine". Setting /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout, like proposed by Ingo, lets the app finally run. Alexandre finally concluded the discussion by > Probably the easiest would be to have a way for an app to specify the > mmap range it wants. So instead of having the kernel try to guess from > brk and stack ulimit, both of which are meaningless for Win32 apps, we > could set the range from "end of win32 exe" to 0x7ff0000.

However nothing seems to have happened with regard to that problem until now. Could we revive that discussion?

AppDB: Escaping / new-line problems

A lot of AppDB entries have broken escaping and some even seem to have only one line. That greatly reduces their readability. Not sure if this is because the formatting was lost over the years. Hopefully it can be fixed in one go for all entries. Otherwise we'll have a big AppDB janitorial cleanup task...

Segfault. Conformance Test/Patch in Cabinet.dll

March 11, 2005

A follow up to the cabinet patch we released before hand. It works perfectly in windows/cl. When its in the wine tree, gcc doesn't like it as much. cabinet_fdi.c: In function `TestCreate': cabinet_fdi.c:263: warning: passing arg 3 of `FDICreate' from incompatible pointer type Running it = segfault. WINEDEBUG=+all wine dlls/cabinet/tests/cabinet_test.exe.so results in the attached debug trace, which doesn't help (me) much. Anyhow, point being, it works in Windows, dies in Wine, but I'm not sure that its a Wine error. Can anyone offer any suggestions/fixes? -- Thank you, Rizwan Kassim http://www.geekymedia.com - GPL code, How-To guides and more.

Reporting "Unknown EXE OS version" and a non-functioning program

March 11, 2005

Hi! Because my kids are obsessed by trains and everything about them, I've decided to download them a train simulation game. Because I refuse to use anything from M$ and I didn't find any train simulator for Linux, I've found and downloaded a free "miniature train simulator", available for download at http://jeanmichel.kerdal.free.fr/Train/train.zip . I've unzipped the package and tried to run the Install.exe file. But the only I get is patrol(a)arcus:~/train$ wine Install.exe fixme:ver:VERSION_GetLinkedDllVersion Unknown EXE OS version 4.0, please report !! fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub fixme:ole:OleLoadPictureEx (0x7f9bdd4c,326,0,{7bf80980-bf32-101a-8bbb-00aa00300cab},x=0,y=0,f=0,0x720dfb0c), partially implemented. fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_SaveAsFile (0x767bd768)->(0x767bffd0, 0, (nil)), hacked stub. The program then simply runs and waits fot the rain (or maybe train :-) ?) without any visible activity and should be killed. Normally I wouldn't report this because there is still a lot of programs which are incompatible with wine (oh these windows programmers... :-) ). But this one explicitly asked for reporting, so I'm just doing what it asked for :-). This is with a fresh wine CVS update, which reports itself as wine-20050310. With regards, Pavel Troller

Hi, This is a port of the ReactOS Internet Browser to Wine. I will not have time to mess with it so I figured I would send it here if anyone was interested. Its just a small wrapper around the IE control so if you don't have IE installed then it will use Wines shdocvw.dll and the Mozilla ActiveX Control. My plan was to convert it to C and then have it be the fallback case in the event you did not have a Unix browser listed in your registry.

I don't think it's libel, but IANAL and I don't really know. I can't think of a good way to include the quote anywhere on the main page. Maybe it makes more sense starting off the "About" page? Or, even better, we (and by "we" I mean someone other than me) go through some of the articles printed about Wine in the past year and dig out about 5 - 10 really good quotes. Then we (and by "we" I mean Newman) figures out a way to randomly the select the quotes and display them on the main page. Then just include the Microsoft quote with them. I think that would be neat and it would advertise a lot more. In completely unrelated news, I've been meaning to send out something in the next few days reminding people to book hotel rooms for Wineconf. There is still space available - if they told you otherwise please double check. March 17th is the last date for reserving a room there. Also, I need to sit down and spend some time looking over agenda ideas. If you have any ideas at all, or want to present something cool, let me know. - Brian

Wine in the press
by Tom Wickline March 10, 2005

Title: Ham and Wine go well together Link: http://software.newsforge.com/software/05/03/02/1449240.shtml?tid=130 By: Joe Barr <snip> Everything I read said "this is what you want." But of course it isn't, because I don't run Windows. It was just about this time that the news about Microsoft blocking users running Wine from downloading updates and tools from their site began to spread. All the sudden I wondered -- if Wine is good enough to have Microsoft blocking it, could it run CwGet? </snip> All I have to say is "Thank You Microsoft" for the press :-) Tom

Where would I find the source code for this module ? I want to look at it to see if I can discover why it fails to open when using Noteworthy Composer. -- Andrew [hackcoughsniffle] Internal Virus Database corrupt

But since experienced wine hackers seem to figure this out anyway, there may be no need. --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi James, > ie why we use do...while(0) loops in SERVER_START_REQ This is a fairly common idiom in C macros. See here for an explanation: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1180050 Because it's a common trick, I'm not sure it's worth explaining. Describing at a high level what SERVER_START_REQ and SERVER_END_REQ do for the macro-phobic might be useful though. As far as documenting the server API, again I agree with you: it's a worthwhile task. There's even a todo list item for it assigned to Alexandre.. but I wouldn't hold my breath for him to provide something parseable by newbies. If you're starting to understand it, maybe writing it down would be a good idea. --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
