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

ntoskrnl.exe: unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoGetDeviceInterfaces

Dear all, While test another online bank with wine ActiveX, I got an unimplemented fuction of ntoskrnl: IoGetDeviceInterfaces, I found it listed in http://source.winehq.org/WineAPI/ntoskrnl.html as a stup, so I can't understand this log: wine: Unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.IoGetDeviceInterfaces called at address 0x7b839552 (thread 0022), starting debugger...

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...

Re: xbox 360 emulation with logitech cordless and dinput joy disable
by Stefan Dösinger Jan. 1, 2013

Jan. 1, 2013

Hi, The patch needs a few improvements before it can be accepted into Wine. I can't comment on the dinput / xinput specifics of the patch, so this is a non- exhaustive list of general suggestions. Concerning the big picture, this patch needs a few discussions about xinput.dll design. There have been some discussions about that in the past, and I hope that some dinput devs can help out. Am Dienstag, 12. Juni 2012, 23:48:53 schrieb Giovanni Ongaro: > From: root <root(a)joe.(none)> Please configure git correctly, see http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine section 3.3.

That aside, such configurations are usually done via registry keys.

I don't know if there's consensus about how xinput should be implemented, but basing it on top of dinput might be a start. A good start would be to write a few tests to test how Windows announces(or doesn't announce) Xbox gamepads and other gamepads/joysticks to games. My understanding is that xinput.dll only works for Xbox gamepads. Do those show up in dinput on Windows? > +#define DEAD_ZONE 4096 > ... > + if (e.number == 4) { > + if (e.value == 1) { > + FIXME("TRIGGER LEFT PRESSED\n"); > + pState->Gamepad.bLeftTrigger=32767; > + } > + else { > + pState->Gamepad.bLeftTrigger=0; > + } > ... > +#define JOYMAX 30000 > +#define JOYMIN -30000 The hardcoded numbers look questionable. The 4 and 1 are probably specific to the joystick, the 32767 might have a symbolic name like XINPUT_MAX or something. A part of this seems to be needed due to the attempt to emulate an xbox gamepad with a different device. Personally I'm not opposed to doing that, and you might need some device specific tricks to pull this off. However, this needs a more structured approach than hardcoding the values needed for one specific Logitech device in the code. Best regards, Stefan

Wine Gecko 1.8-beta1
by Jacek Caban Sept. 4, 2012

Sept. 4, 2012

Hi all, It's time for another Gecko update. I've uploaded to SourceForge [1] new Gecko builds. These are based on Firefox 16 beta. Other than tons of changes inherited from Firefox and usual fixes to keep it working well for us, it brings a few visible fixes: - Proper <noscript> tag handling - Synchronous ActiveX loading - Possibility to properly call APIs requiring JSContext - Possibility to implement HTMLStyleElement::styleSheet property As usually, to test it you need the attached patch and Gecko build placed in the right place [2]. Any help with testing is appreciated! On related note, I seriously consider dropping debug builds and replace them by unstripped release build or even just a separated package containing only debug symbols for the release build. Here are my thoughts about reasoning (in random order): - People use debug build mostly to retrieve better backtraces. Unstripped builds also give that ability. - If someone really needs debug build, it's easy enough to build it himself (and that's usually a good idea anyway) - Debug builds are seriously different than release build, so it occasionally exposes different set of problems, leading to invalid assumptions. This is really something for developers rather than users. - It costs my time spent builds and tests. And I consider it a serious matter. Amount of work needed to keep Gecko relevant is constantly growing. I try to mitigate it by doing long-term improvements upstream, automating the process and improving my hardware, but that has its limits. And the time spent on Gecko maintenance (as in pure maintenance, not real improvements) costs Wine in terms of improvements I could make in this time. If someone has a reason to keep debug builds, let me know. Any comments are welcomed.

Moving pages to/from wiki
by Kyle Auble Aug. 29, 2012

Aug. 29, 2012

I'm starting to work on moving static pages to and from the wiki, but I wanted to ask for opinions on a few changes first: 1. Move all static IRC pages to the wiki or add info from the wiki to the static templates? The static pages only mention #winehq and don't describe guidelines, but IRC details shouldn't change much right? 2. For the static About page, some languages also have wiki versions. Do we want to keep the sparser versions currently in use, or add the more detailed information from the wiki version? Both versions seem well-written, and exist for English, Hebrew, & Spanish (I deleted the Polish wiki version; it was a duplicate). 3. Do we still need the static "cvs" page, or should I just redirect any links to it, then delete? On a related note, the WineHQ ToDo on the wiki still claims that a browser for the old CVS source tree is lurking on the site somewhere. Is that true, or do I need to cut that line from the ToDo list? 4. Since licensing tends to be really static could we just redirect the WikiLicense page to the static license page, or should they be kept separate? While I'd think it wouldn't be too hard to reword the static page's intro to include other projects, I'm leery of editing any legal-ese without asking first. By the way, the WikiLicense page says it's LGPL v2.1 in the intro text, but the included license actually looks like v2.0 of the GPL with a modification for libraries. If the wiki version of the page should stay, I'll put in a copy of v2.1 - Kyle

Hi, I have a patch that when run on on the testbot, it fails on all but two machines. However when I build the exe myself and run it, it pass on all but two machines. http://testbot.winehq.org/JobDetails.pl?Key=21257 http://testbot.winehq.org/JobDetails.pl?Key=21256 Ubuntu 12.04. Any Ideas on the different results? Best Regards Alistair Leslie-Hughes

I was about to write some tests for structures in constant tables. I see that you've already written such tests. Cheers, Józef Kucia

This looks correct to me. Lack of shared logic and GenericTypographic still makes me sad, but not too sad because the added logic is simple.

I've been working a lot on the wiki recently, and I actually brought up something similar in this thread: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-July/096198.html While I'm busy with other things right now, I wanted to discuss this in more detail in the near future, particularly how it ties into possibly migrating the entire site over to a CMS. The Moinmoin syntax was new to me too, but after using it a little, I don't mind it too much. There are definitely a few missing features and rough edges compared to MediaWiki. However, and this is just my impression, I think MediaWiki has really evolved to fit Wikipedia's needs. I'm not sure how well it integrates (style-wise at least) if you don't run your entire site off of it, and while I haven't actually looked at MediaWiki's code, I've heard that it can be really tricky to setup, maintain, and reprogram. There are some pluggable parsers for Moinmoin, and there may be one that allows MediaWiki syntax. After going through and checking, categorizing, and editing so many pages, I definitely agree with your suggestion that each language be given a domain, instead of one flat namespace. Then maybe just add a single common "translation" menu to the side toolbar? I've come to the opinion that we should probably stick with Moinmoin, and migrate to a new engine other than MediaWiki only if there are strong reasons. What might be best is if we actually got in touch with some of the Moinmoin developers and put in some feature requests. Helping with the wiki's engine is on my list so I'd like to hear some more opinions. -Kyle
