TestBot News

by Francois Gouget

* GitLab bridge The bridge to add the TestBot failures as comments on GitLab is broken. It seems like it happened near the end of August. So be sure to look at the wine-gitlab mailing list to not miss issues in your merge requests. * VM changes debian11, debian11b and debiant now have UsePPosition in their fvwm configuration. See the full fvwm configuration below: https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_TestBot_VMs#Unix_configuration These VMs also got an update to the latest packages. Also there is an ongoing experiment to figure out the best window manager for the tests. And who knows, maybe we'll event keep more than one? Anyway we currently have: - debian11 fvwm2 - debian11b fvwm2 - debian12 openbox - debiant fvwm3 * Test result changes Thanks to Esme's work, user32:msg now has a lot fewer failures, most notably on Windows 7 and 11: https://test.winehq.org/data/patterns.html#user32:msg d3d9:device also got quite a bit better thanks to Stefan's work: https://test.winehq.org/data/patterns And Alexandre fixed a bunch of stack, pointer and parameter size failures in various tests: https://test.winehq.org/data/patterns.html#kernel32:loader https://test.winehq.org/data/patterns.html#kernel32:thread https://test.winehq.org/data/patterns.html#ntdll:om https://test.winehq.org/data/patterns.html#oleaut32:usrmarshal https://test.winehq.org/data/patterns.html#winmm:capture ...

It depends on whether the kernel restores them from the context on signal return. My guess is that it does since they are defined in ucontext_t. We have tests for this in dlls/ntdll/tests/exception.c, so you can try both approaches and see which one breaks the tests. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

I would also appreciate hearing a talk about how some difficult and inscrutable bug was diagnosed and fixed. Ideally the presenter would start with an old version of Wine and walk the audience through the debugging process step by step. Debugging closed-source applications is difficult for the best of us, and being far from the best myself, I could learn a lot by example. That's the sort of thing that I've gotten out of WineConf in the past by talking with people outside of the presentations, but there's no reason why the knowledge couldn't be shared in a presentation. -Alex
