Re: [1/3] d3dx9: Allow sampler declaration without sampler type.

Am 10.06.2010 um 16:06 schrieb Matteo Bruni: > <0001-d3dx9-Allow-sampler-declaration-without-sampler-type.txt> The patch looks ok, but I am wondering if the validator complains about typeless samplers. And if not, I guess the interesting question is how those declarations are treated at shader runtime...

Re: resources: Convert Polish resources to UTF8.
by Frédéric Delanoy June 11, 2010

June 11, 2010

Hi. I see this patch has been "Rejected" in http://source.winehq.org/patches/, but I just wondered why: - are the UTF8 resources not preferred over custom codepages? - or is the patch simply too big to review? Splitting into many tiny patches seemed a bit overkill for such a simple change, no? Or maybe is it simply because Polish translations is still in progress, and it can/will cause conflict? I'm a bit confused here... Frédéric NB: I didn't touch any nls file in this patch so it shouldn't cause regressions (and had a subset of it tested by Łukasz Wojniłowicz, a native Polish speaker)

Tests crash
by Peter Davies June 11, 2010

June 11, 2010

Some tests crash for me (eg. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22903 segfaults). This means I can't run the entire test suite with "make test", what should I do? Peter

size_t usage in wine
by Marko Nikolic June 10, 2010

June 10, 2010

Hi, I have found in wine documentation that it is recommended to avoid long data type, since it is different in Win64 and Unix64. This is reasonable, however, is there some similar policy regarding size_t/ssize_t usage? Those types are often defined as long type, so they could produce the same problem with 64 bit. On the other hand, many standard functions expect or return size_t values, so I guess it could be ok to use it in such cases. Is there any advice/position on this? Thanks, Marko

A Handle Cache?
by Max TenEyck Woodbury June 9, 2010

June 9, 2010

While Reading the developer's guide, I noticed that it said that translating windows' handles was always done by the server. I may have misunderstood this. Since interaction between the client and server requires at least two context switches and context switches are fairly heavy duty operations, would it make sense to cache handle lookups on the client?

gameux.dll implementation stub
by Mariusz Pluciński June 9, 2010

June 9, 2010

Hello As you maybe know, I'm working on implementation of Game Explorer in the Google Summer of Code. Main part of my work is now implementing gaming APIs stored in gameux.dll library. I already sent patches with headers, and I'm currently in the stage when stubs are ready to start real implementation. Unfortunately (for me) Wine is now in freeze stage, so I can't send patches with new library to wine-patches. Instead, Vincent Povirk suggested me to send them here to get feedback. It's very important to me to know is my way of implementation valid, cause changing something now is probably easier than modifying it in future. Attached patches creates initial implementation of gameux library, adds implementation of IClassFactory interface and stubs of four interfaces' implementations: IGameExplorer, IGameExplorer2, IGameStatistics and IGameStatisticsMgr. They also add initial tests for each interface. Each test now checks behavior of CoCreateInstance function while trying to create given interface. To create library, I used parts of code created by Alistair Leslie-Hughes, attached by him to bug 21261. Thanks in advance

Call for translators
by Paul Vriens June 9, 2010

June 9, 2010

Hi, The code freeze for Wine-1.2 has started and we are now in a weekly release candidate cycle. This is an ideal moment for translation work. The current translations status page http://source.winehq.org/transl/index.php shows four (4) languages at a 100%. Please help us have more fully translated languages for Wine-1.2. Also fixing the errors in the translations (21 languages affected) would be greatly appreciated. Most translators are not programmers and are probably intimidated by Wine's translation system. If you are comfortable editing resource file than please go ahead, create patches and sent them to wine-patches. The wiki-page http://wiki.winehq.org/Translating gives some more background information if needed. If you like to help out Wine but don't want to touch any of these resource files we can help you out. Please sent us an email with the language you'd like to translate Wine into and we will sent you the more familiar po files. These files show all the translatable strings from a resource file but in a less intriguing format. Once translated, you can sent these files back and we will turn them into the proper resource files. 'We' for now are Michael Stefaniuc and Paul Vriens but I guess others will chime in if needed. -- Cheers, Paul.
