Allowed reverse engineering methods
by Mariusz Pluciński May 30, 2010

May 30, 2010

Hello I'm working on implementation of Games Explorer for Wine (in Google Summer of Code). My work gets progress, but to finish it, I need to get more information about Windows implementation. My question is: which reverse engineering methods are legal and accepted while working in Wine project? Only information I found is located on Wine's wiki page (http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode) > * You are not allowed to read or reuse Windows source code >(leaked source / Windows >Research Kernel* / ...) >(* we are following the SFLC's advice) > * You are not allowed to reverse engineer Windows files by >disassembling or >decompiling them > * You are not allowed to analyze Windows files with the >trace functions of Wine But which methods are allowed? I assume that "obvious" methods (reading header files, registry dumps, etc.) are acceptable, but can I e.g. analyze .pdb symbol files (availble in e.g. Microsoft's DirectX SDK)? Can I copy executable from Windows (.exe) and analyze it in Wine using winedebug's "relay" channel? (last point from website I linked above says that I can't analyze "Windows files" this way, but I'm not sure is it apply for executables in way I described). Mariusz Pluciński

Replacement of "#if 0" by "if (0)" blocks
by Frédéric Delanoy May 30, 2010

May 30, 2010

Hi folks, after seeing aafef7cdd56e488d2f42eb01190e51ce6148b664 (Use if(0) instead of #if 0 to make sure code still compiles), IMHO, except special cases (like maybe in headers files), those '#if 0' have no advantages compared to "if (0)" (besides being highlighted in vim), because they may induce code rot and hence prevent maintenance (and why not delete them to begin with?)... I'm looking at the remaining cases, and have some questions: - should this situation be changed/cleaned up (I wouldn't want to spend time only to see my patches automatically refused...)? Are there any reasons for those #if blocks other than easier commenting? - if yes, is it preferable to (1) delete those sections or (2) replace them with "if" blocks (and delete them if they don't compile?)?

"Powered by Mozilla" somewhere subtle on winehq?
by Scott Ritchie May 30, 2010

May 30, 2010

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/powered-by.html Mozilla has a small campaign to mention projects that depend on them in various fashions. I think it'd be neat to get listed there on that page. Mozilla in turn would like us to mention Mozilla somewhere on our site. This seems like something we should do anyway, along with all our other dependencies - I'm thinking a link off the about page would be nice. Thoughts? Thanks, Scott Ritchie

Building a CUDA 3.0 dll wrapper, compile errors
by Seth Shelnutt May 30, 2010

May 30, 2010

I've done this before, with no problems for cuda 2.x, but it's been a while and I'm having troubles. I think I have everything configured right, as I got the cufft dll wrapper compiled but the cudart dll wrapper is acting like I am not linking it to the linux libcudart.so, but I am. I've noticed a few changed in winemaker, and I thought I'd get some to check my make file / see if they can see anything wrong. My source can be found here, http://shelnutt2.host56.com/cudart/ . I'm assuming your cuda toolkit is installed in the default location of /usr/local/cuda . My errors are: winegcc -shared cudart.dll.spec -mno-cygwin -o cudart.dll.so cudart.o -L/usr/local/cuda/lib/ -lcudart -lodbc32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lwinspool -lodbccp32 -luuid cudart.o: In function `__saturatef': cudart.c:(.text+0x3b6c): undefined reference to `__cuda___isnanf' cudart.o: In function `__sad': cudart.c:(.text+0x3bfc): undefined reference to `__cuda_llabs' cudart.o: In function `__usad': cudart.c:(.text+0x3c47): undefined reference to `__cuda_llabs' cudart.o: In function `__internal_float2ll_kernel': cudart.c:(.text+0x3d2b): undefined reference to `__cuda___isnanf' cudart.o: In function `__internal_float2ull_kernel': cudart.c:(.text+0x4082): undefined reference to `__cuda___isnanf' cudart.o: In function `__fdividef': cudart.c:(.text+0x4eaa): undefined reference to `__cuda_fabsf' cudart.c:(.text+0x4ecf): undefined reference to `__cuda_fabsf' cudart.o: In function `__expf': cudart.c:(.text+0x5085): undefined reference to `__cuda_exp2f' cudart.o: In function `__exp10f': cudart.c:(.text+0x50b6): undefined reference to `__cuda_exp2f' cudart.o: In function `__powf': cudart.c:(.text+0x5140): undefined reference to `__cuda_exp2f' cudart.o: In function `__internal_double2ll_kernel': cudart.c:(.text+0x6130): undefined reference to `__cuda___isnan' cudart.o: In function `__internal_double2ull_kernel': cudart.c:(.text+0x6383): undefined reference to `__cuda___isnan' cudart.o: In function `clock64': cudart.c:(.text+0x7f61): undefined reference to `__cuda_clock' Thanks, Seth Shelnutt

Re: [Wine] How do I fix the 'fixme's

I always found this naming a bit confusing. "fixme" sounds like "there's a bug/workaround here" IMHO. (That's not the first post I read about this IIRC) "todo" or similar would be more consistent, don't you think? > James McKenzie Frédéric

Regression Statistics
by Michael Stefaniuc May 29, 2010

May 29, 2010

Hello guys, I thought about doing a regression report like Rafael Wysocki is doing for the Linux Kernel http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127344241607730&w=4 but I got cured when looking at the regression list on bugs.winehq.org. We have at least by a factor of three too many regressions. So here is just a high level overview; the numbers were taken on 2010/05/29 at 10:00 UTC. Regressions ----------- Open: 316 Status Regressions Patch Download Download+Patch UNCONFIRMED 164 3 46 0 NEW 139 20 85 11 REOPENED 10 2 2 0 ASSIGNED 3 1 1 0 Of course there should be no UNCONFIRMED regression with a "download" keyword, right? Alexandre also said on irc that most of the open regressions are valid so the UNCONFIRMED count could be even lower. While gathering those numbers bugzilla presented me with the proper wisdom: "Don't let a bug in your wine bother you. Just remove it." If somebody is desperately looking for an interesting challenge during the boring feature freeze times the regression list on bugs.winehq.org has it! As always: "Limited stock available; first come first serve". :) bye michael

d3dx9effect.h; Errors in h files are bugs?
by Luis Busquets May 29, 2010

May 29, 2010

winehq in include/d3dx9effect.h adds in the definition of ID3DXEffectCompiler the methods: STDMETHOD(SetPixelShader)(THIS_ D3DXHANDLE parameter, LPDIRECT3DPIXELSHADER9 pshader) PURE; STDMETHOD(SetVertexShader)(THIS_ D3DXHANDLE parameter, LPDIRECT3DVERTEXSHADER9 vshader) PURE; None of this methods is part of ID3DXBaseEffect (the group of the methods ID3DXEffectCompiler in which they are set) and none is part of the specific methods of ID3DXEffectCompiler Thus, these two methods should be removed from the .h file? Does this qualify as a bug to put in winebugs or is the winehq policy to report these kind of source code bugs to the wine-devel list?
