Clarification about Reverse Engineering Windows applications

by Barath Rk

Is it alright to RE Windows applications as long as you are not trying to RE MS API implementations or MS applications? I do not quite understand the "Clean Room Guidelines" in this regard and would like some clarification.

How can I debug an issue where a specific commit breaks transparency?

by zhengxianwei

>> | * cb787d0c566 - (2 months ago) win32u: Use a pbuffer to implement GL on memory DCs. - Rémi Bernon This commit caused one of my images to go from transparent to non-transparent. How should I debug this? I tried using RenderDoc to capture, but it errors out saying that on Linux it supports the core profile and not the compatibility profile. When I capture a trace with apitrace, it seems the program isn’t using a standard OpenGL frame rendering flow. May I ask what the default method is in Wine for debugging OpenGL or investigating incorrect/garbled rendering?
