Some questions about handling filenames in wineserver
by Richard W.M. Jones April 25, 2023

April 25, 2023

I'm trying to bring my old AF_UNIX patch up to date: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2021-May/187049.html It's not going too well as the code has changed quite a lot. One particular problem I'm having is in wineserver. We need to convert the Windows socket path encoded as a UTF-8 string (eg. Z:\tmp\sock) into a Unix filename. In the old code I used: + num = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, wun->sun_path, -1, NULL, 0); + win_path = HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, num * sizeof(WCHAR)); + if (win_path == NULL) + return 0; + MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, wun->sun_path, -1, win_path, num); + unix_path = wine_get_unix_file_name(win_path); + heap_free(win_path); However none of this seems to work inside wineserver (I guess because it's not part of the "Windows world"). I cannot work out the equivalent of this for wineserver, or if there's something else I should be doing, such as converting the path before it is sent to wineserver. Supplemental question: There appears to be duplicate socket handling code in wineserver server/sock.c and dlls/ntdll/unix/socket.c. In my tests only the wineserver code is called, and never the ntdll/unix code. Why is that? (I'm not very familiar with the architecture of wine, which seems a bit confusing, so I'm just guessing how it all works.)

Wine-Staging 8.6 release
by Zebediah Figura April 16, 2023

April 16, 2023

The Wine-Staging development release 8.6 is now available. Summary since last release: * Rebased to upstream Wine 8.6. 532 patches are applied to upstream Wine. Patches removed from Wine-Staging since the last release: * win32u-GPU_properties * winex11-wglShareLists. This fixed Wine bug 25495 [1], which is not currently fixed by any other mechanism. However, the relevant patch is a hack, and hence not suitable for Wine-Staging either. Patches added: * None. Patches otherwise updated: * None. Binary packages for various distributions will be available from: https://www.winehq.org/download As always, if you find a bug, please report it via https://bugs.winehq.org ἔρρωσθε, Zeb Figura [1] https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25495

A novel and accurate method to calculate Julliard Rank
by Alex Henrie April 2, 2023

April 2, 2023

Dear Wine developers, I am excited to announce that I have discovered a novel and accurate method to calculate a Wine developer's Julliard Rank! As we all know, the Julliard Rank is a measure of how much trust Wine's chief maintainer Alexandre Julliard has in a person, and consequently how easily their patches are accepted.[1] What no one seems to have realized until now is that a person's Julliard Rank has a perfect linear correlation with the number of outstanding bisected regressions caused by that person! Alexandre himself is of course at the top with 21 outstanding regressions, followed of course by Zeb with 15. Henri and Jacek are not far behind with 11 each, Rémi and Zhiyi are somewhat lower with 6 each, and predictably I myself don't even make the cut. That means that 49% of the 142 regressions are held by the top 14% of the 44 people on the list.[2] It is intolerable that so many regressions are concentrated in the hands of so few. There is only one rational course of action: We must rise up and act together to take the regressions that belong to those at the top away from them. When their source of power is gone, the vinous elite will be no different from τῶν πολλῶν. There is unfortunately no alternative but to forcefully abolish the classist system that divides developers into regression-haves and regression-have-nots, but after everyone is made into a regression-have-not, a new era of equality, peace, and alcoholism for all will begin. Sincerely, The Central Committee of the Workers' Wine Party (WWP) [1] https://wiki.winehq.org/Developer_FAQ#I_sent_a_merge_request.2C_but_it_got_… [2] https://source.winehq.org/regressions

Wine configurations naming
by Eric Pouech April 1, 2023

April 1, 2023

Hi, it seems we should gain some clarification for the naming of the various ways Wine can be configured. This question arises between "old wow64" and "new wow64" esp. some use wow64 without it being very clear to what it applies (some using wine's old wow64 configuration as it was the only one, others refer to window's wow64 architecture, hence "new wow64" in wine lingo) some have used multi-arch wow(64) or multi arch wine for reference to the new wine wow64... it seems to me we'd better use a common denomination for all of this... - only applying to cross compilation (open point if we still need to refer to ELF/dylib exec:s) - different from images naming (for which the <CPU>-<HOST> applies) So this mail to share the question, and a proposal - *wow64*: the new multi-arch wow64 configuration, which mimics windows wow64 architecture ; dropping the 'new' to match with windows (and also, not sure that in 10years from now it will still be "new") - (wine)*old wow64*: the wine-only old wow64 configuration if needed (at least to remind that they exist) - *pure32*: the 32bit only configuration - *pure64*: the 64bit only configuration Note: the proposal doesn't include whether the configuration can run a module for a given CPU. That's questionable. For comments, rant, other proposals... better ideas TIA
