Wine in the news

http://www.australianit.news.com.au/story/0,24897,23797416-24169,00.html The new president of Red Hat, when asked about desktop linux, said: "My simple answer is until Apple's iTunes runs on consumer Linux desktops, it's not going to take off. I know you can run Wine, which runs Windows applications on Linux, so techies will beat me up on that, but fundamentally there are some major device driver issues with products that people like to use and this limits adoption. It's going to be slow until these issues are solved." http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39429910,00.htm http://economyaustria.at/Text/?id=3363378 Vienna migrates some Linux workstations to Vista because a single app, Schlaumäuse, crashes under Wine. Looks like they send the software out upon request to teachers; see http://www.schlaumaeuse.de/ (Can somebody send me a copy?)

Bad free error involving shdocvw and COM?
by Dan Kegel June 6, 2008

June 6, 2008

In shdocvw/tests/webbrowser.c, at the end of test_WebBrowser, the call IUnknown_Release(unk) results in the following Valgrind error: Invalid free() / delete / delete[] at notify_free (heap.c:199) by RtlFreeHeap (heap.c:1284) by SysFreeString (oleaut.c:196) by DocHost_Release (dochost.c:550) by WebBrowser_Release (webbrowser.c:153) by test_WebBrowser (webbrowser.c:2028) by func_webbrowser (webbrowser.c:2070) by run_test (test.h:421) by main (test.h:470) Address 0x7f01dc14 is 8 bytes after a block of size 28 alloc'd at notify_alloc (heap.c:191) by RtlAllocateHeap (heap.c:1231) by COMPOBJ_DllList_Add (compobj.c:910) by apartment_getclassobject (compobj.c:794) by get_inproc_class_object (compobj.c:2138) by CoGetClassObject (compobj.c:2238) by get_protocol_cf (session.c:111) by get_protocol_info (session.c:219) by parse_canonicalize_url (internet.c:63) by CoInternetParseUrl (internet.c:184) by URLMonikerImpl_Construct (umon.c:1039) by CreateURLMonikerEx (umon.c:1097) by CreateURLMoniker (umon.c:1123) by create_moniker (navigate.c:564) by bind_to_object (navigate.c:600) by navigate_bsc (navigate.c:657) by navigate_bsc_proc (navigate.c:679) by process_dochost_task (dochost.c:43) by shell_embedding_proc (oleobject.c:65) by ??? (library.h:163) Seems like an important bug to fix, since it could conceivably lead to heap corruption. This is all our code, no gecko involved, so we ought to be able to sort it, but it's beyond my ken.

Double free error involving dsound and winealsa.drv

Hmm, freeing a buffer that's already been freed is bad, is it showstopper bad? http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13723

Just that GetLongPathName doesn't fail in this case (I'm not even sure what 'this case' is specifically)? You should be checking the return value and the value of the out variable. -- James Hawkins

re: [PATCH] oleaut32: Fix valgrind warnings in vatype.c test
by Dan Kegel June 5, 2008

June 5, 2008

Hi Jon, I guess http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-May/055352.html must have been too scary to commit. I independently sent in a fix for the easy part, and it was committed as http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2008-June/043999.html The last part of your patch, having to do with SysAllocStringByteLen(), seems correct to me, offhand. Maybe if you clean up the comment a bit more, sprinkle sugar on it, and resend, it'll make it in this time. It's so gross, though, that it really should serve as a reminder to us to switch to IMalloc... - Dan

Re: [AppDB] Allow admins to remove their admin rights

I found out that $aClean['iUserId'] would only be set when modifying another user, and it previously compared it to $oUser->iUserId before allowing the admin removal. Now we only check for admin rights, and the oUser->iUserId == aClean['iUserId'] check is performed later to see if we should redirect back to the user admin page. > > On Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 6:34 AM, Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes > > <alex(a)thehandofagony.com> wrote: > > This is in accordance with the AppDB's new policy on dissidents. :) > > > > > > Alexander N.

Fixing crashes in Tests (OS version check)
by Alistair Leslie-Hughes June 4, 2008

June 4, 2008

Hi, I've being investigating crashes that occur on Win98 when the tests run. I have fixed a couple already which where trivial. When I attempted to fix the snmpapi tests, I have found that i will end up removing alot of tests (~ 17). If I add a check for the windows version, I can skip the tests that will crash, also there is already tests with if(0) around them. What is the policy about checking the version of the OS before running certain tests? Best Regards Alistair Leslie-Hughes
