Error handling in RpcBindingVectorFree (dlls/rpcrt4/rpc_binding.c)
by Gerald Pfeifer Nov. 22, 2020

Nov. 22, 2020

Looking at RPC_STATUS WINAPI RpcBindingVectorFree( RPC_BINDING_VECTOR** BindingVector ) { RPC_STATUS status; ULONG c; TRACE("(%p)\n", BindingVector); for (c=0; c<(*BindingVector)->Count; c++) { status = RpcBindingFree(&(*BindingVector)->BindingH[c]); } HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, *BindingVector); *BindingVector = NULL; return RPC_S_OK; } we currently always ignore the outcome of RpcBindingFree and return RPC_S_OK. However, there is one case where RpcBindingFree returns something different (which is if *Binding is null when RPC_S_INVALID_BINDING is returned). What is the proper way of handling this? Just keeping the code as is and removing the unused status variable? Breaking the loop once RpcBindingFree returns something different from RPC_S_OK? Continuing and returning the first / the last status different from RPC_S_OK? Gerald

ODBC Databases: Jet/Access success
by Barry Bird June 14, 2018

June 14, 2018

Good Afternoon. In section 3.3.6.2 of your User Guide you ask readers to report successes with databases other than MS SQL. Well here's one (I know Access 2000 can work with Wine, but this doesn't require Access): How to set up Wine to enable Windows programs that read and write to Jet (Access) databases using ODBC. I write such programs in C and use the API defined in ODBC API Reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714562%28VS.85%29.aspx They work fine on Windows and only require Mingw to be installed to compile and link them, both for console programs and those using Windows SDK. You then can write interactive programs in C which use a full-featured SQL database which comes bundled with Windows. No need to purchase Access. With the set-up below they will also run on Linux (Kubuntu 9.04) and Wine 1.1.26. You need to update the registry to install the Access drivers. Under Windows, export from the Registry to *.reg files the registry entries - HKLM\Software\ODBC - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Jet all subsidiary keys and values come with them. You can carefully edit these files to remove drivers and DSNs you don't need. Import these files using the registry editor in wine: wine regedit.exe. You need to bring across from Windows to Windows\System32 under wine: clbcatq.dll comres.dll expsrv.dll msjet40.dll mswstr10.dll msjter40.dll msjint40.dll msjtes40.dll msrd3x40.dll odbc32.dll odbccp32.dll odbcji32.dll odbcjt32.dll odbcad32.exe odbcint.dll odbctrac.dll vbajet32.dll Register this server in wine: wine regsvr32.exe msjtes40.dll No need to install MDAC. To use Windows ODBC drivers, you have to override Wine's odbccp32.dll and odbc32.dll with the native versions because the Wine versions are currently wired directly to Linux's unixodbc. This can be done by setting up the ODBC Data Source Administrator odbcad32.exe using winecfg: - Add the program to the Applications tab - then in the libraries tab, pick from 'New override for library' drop-down odbc32.dll and odbccp32.dll add them and edit them to be Native for Windows. Then if you do wine odbcad32.exe this brings up the ODBC Data Source Administrator window as in the Windows Control Panel If needed, set up (System) DSNs using this program. Bring across the programs and *.mdb database files from Windows. Using winecfg, you need to set up each program you want to run with overrides for odbc32.dll and odbccp32.dll (Applications and Libraries tabs) as above. The programs should then run as they did in Windows but perhaps a bit slower with: wine Odbc-prog.exe This has been tested twice on a clean .wine install. I cannot vouch for support of all API and SQL facilities however. I hope someone finds this useful. Barry Bird

IMM / IME work
by Aric Stewart June 16, 2016

June 16, 2016

Hello all, I know this will only interest a small portion of you but thought i would give a quick update on the state of IMM32 since I have brought it to a major milestone. All the main patches are in which now separate IMM32 and IMEs. There is still more work to do but the major framework is in place. X11 XIM processing should be unchanged. However wine can now begin to load native windows IMEs as well. I have tested with windows ATOK20 (a popular Japanese IME) and successfully had text processing in a fully IME aware application. There are still clear issues to resolve in many aspects of this processing but we have forward progress. ImmInstallIME does not work yet, nor does switching keyboards. So to get the native IME to work you need to add this registry key. [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layouts\\<keyboard layout>] "Ime File"=<IME filename> so for example for ATOK20 in Japanese i used. [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Keyboard Layouts\\e0010411] "Ime File"="ATOK20W.IME" I would love to hear how well things work. I am sure using native IMEs will quickly show us many places where IMM32 needs to be improved. One issues I am going to investigate next is that sometimes non x11drv ime initialization, if occurring too early, causes x11drv to fail to create windows. I have not investigated with the latest changes to xim.c (which may already correct this problem) but if you see this problem this patch may help and i believe the IME_UpdateAssociation(NULL) is already unneeded. diff --git a/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c b/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c index d4df9f7..0c98136 100644 --- a/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c +++ b/dlls/winex11.drv/xim.c @@ -475,7 +475,6 @@ static void X11DRV_OpenIM(Display *display, XPointer ptr, XP XUnregisterIMInstantiateCallback(display, NULL, NULL, NULL, X11DRV_OpenIM, wine_tsx11_unlock(); IME_XIMPresent(TRUE); - IME_UpdateAssociation(NULL); } thanks, -aric

DirectInput already has some internal abstraction layers for differnet joystick APIs, and has basic support for OSX joysticks. Does DInput have enough capabilities to access all the Xbox controller's features? My gut says no, otherwise MS wouldn't have created a new lib. I guess its worth checking though.

What happened to the Fedora packages?
by Neal Gompa Aug. 2, 2014

Aug. 2, 2014

What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since 0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new packages will be ready soon!!! Compiling WINE always crashes my computer, so I prefer to use the RPMs...

Hi. >From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from, when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed? This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c". MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer is installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in this Situation. -- By By ... ...

Any specific concerns on this topic? > I'll talk to Michal Cihar and ask him for a roadmap for this project. Well I don't have any real roadmap right now. I urgently needed replacement for Pootle because we got hit by too many bugs there and did not manage to understand the code there to be able to fix them myself. So far I think it is in pretty good shape for day to day work (with today's 0.5 release fixing few annoying bugs). Of course there are some features missing, you can check what I plan for 1.0 release here: https://github.com/nijel/weblate/issues?state=open&milestone=1 I currently hope to have 1.0 in a month or so, but I really don't want to commit to any specific date.

Wine automated testing update
by Jeremy White Aug. 6, 2012

Aug. 6, 2012

Hi Folks, At the last Wine conference, I volunteered to find a home for the WineTestBot that Ge's brother has been hosting, and to take over the Buildbot that Dan and Austin have been so diligently maintaining. This is an update on that project, mostly to help keep my procrastinating self moving it along. First, we have a lovely set of hardware; 4 servers, in a dedicated rack, with a dedicated static ip to the outside world. One server is the gateway, 2 are dedicated Linux test systems (with nice fast processor + gpus), and one is a beefy system capable of running many VMs. The plan was to move the existing VMWare based WineTestBot to this hardware and simply get the existing system up and running on the new hardware. Here we hit our first snag; the VMWare folks are not willing to provide a permanent license for VMWare to us. So, we've shifted gears, and are exploring whether something like qemu + kvm would be a sufficient alternate. I've done a little of this work, and Maarten is hopefully going to help me try converting the existing VMs to see if we can save any hassle by doing a conversion. In parallel, I learned a great deal about buildbot and the buildbot system that Dan has built. There are two especially valuable and useful functions provided by this buildbot: the first is essentially a patch watcher; a process that catches simple mistakes (e.g. build errors on different architectures, and so on). The second is more powerful and is encapsulated by the 'dotests.sh' shell script. The dotests.sh script does a good job of basically running make test and noticing any test failures outside of 'the usual ones'. There is an infrastructure for Buildbot is a good tool, and I invested a lot of energy into it (as have Dan and Austin). However, Alexandre has persuaded me that we should first explore integrating the dotest.sh functionality into the existing WineTestBot, as that would allow us to have a very simple clean web page, and would also allow us to integrate most cleanly with Alexandre's back end tools. Of course, WineTestBot is Perl code, and my Perl fu is low. So I have recently asked Francois to help with that effort as well. So the basic plan is as follows: 1. Test qemu/kvm with a few Windows versions to see if it'll work. 2. If so, modify WineTestBot to use qemu instead of vmware. (This is 'easy' because the WineTestBot code nicely isolates the VM functions, but 'hard', because VMWare provides some APIs that may have to be replicated). 3. Migrate WineTestBot to the new hardware stack 4. Write new code to run 'dotests.sh' as part of WineTestBot Cheers, Jeremy

Rethinking WineConf
by Jeremy White July 26, 2012

July 26, 2012

Hi All, This past Wine conference, while great fun as always, was not as well attended as Wine conferences in the past. So I would like to stir up trouble by suggesting we rethink WineConf. For those that have not attended, the Wine conference has been a mostly annual affair since 2002. It is open to all, but is advertised as being aimed at Wine developers. About 35 people attend each year. It's been in Minnesota about every 3rd year, and is otherwise 'normally' somewhere in Europe. I see the primary goal as creating human bonds between otherwise anonymous people (aka going to the pub). It's a bonus if it also spurs resolution to tricky issues, or motivates people to get more done. So I'd like to ask folks to brain storm with me. How could Wineconf be different? If you've never been, what would encourage you to come? If you've been to a technical conference recently that you thought was well done, what did they do well? Anything we could emulate? Any other ideas, or suggestions? Cheers, Jeremy
