Code freeze plans
by Alexandre Julliard Dec. 12, 2022

Dec. 12, 2022

Folks, As you know, we are now in code freeze towards 8.0. This means that only reasonably small, targeted bug fixes can be accepted. As far as possible, please mention the bug number that the fix is for. We currently have 242 open regressions (cf. https://source.winehq.org/regressions) I'm hoping that we can release 8.0 with fewer open regressions than 7.0, which means we have to bring that number down to 150. All help is welcome! Fixes to the tests can always be accepted since they can't break apps, so this is also a good opportunity to fix some long-standing failures. The rc releases will be a bit more spread out than usual, because I'll be out during the Christmas break. My plan is to have rc2 on December 21, rc3 on January 6, and then resume weekly rc releases, with a final 8.0 towards the end of January. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Wine Source build on native wchar_t 4 bytes
by Mahin Pandya Dec. 5, 2022

Dec. 5, 2022

Hello All, We are trying to build Wine Source on Linux with native wchar_t size 4 bytes (instead of 2 bytes), is there any way it can be done? I started with doing following changes: diff --git a/tools/winapi/winapi_test b/tools/winapi/winapi_test index b9628e8..91daac3 100644 --- a/tools/winapi/winapi_test +++ b/tools/winapi/winapi_test @@ -206,7 +206,11 @@ sub _find_align_kind_size($) { $align = 2; $kind = "signed"; $size = 2; - } elsif (/^(?:char16_t|wchar_t|USHORT|WCHAR|WORD)$/) { + } elsif (/^(?:wchar_t|WCHAR)$/) { + $align = 4; + $kind = "unsigned"; + $size = 4; + } elsif (/^(?:char16_t|USHORT|WORD|WCHAR_nt)$/) { $align = 2; $kind = "unsigned"; $size = 2; Also started changing some of headers e.g. winnt.h - removed "typedef unsigned short WCHAR;" Any pointers/suggestion are welcome. Thanking you. regards, Mahin

Using comdlg32 functions in shell32
by Alex Henrie Dec. 2, 2022

Dec. 2, 2022

Hello, Does anyone know why shell32 uses LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to get pointers to GetOpenFileName[AW] in comdlg32, rather than simply importing the library? https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/blob/wine-7.22/dlls/shell32/shellord.… https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/blob/wine-7.22/dlls/shell32/dialogs.c… I was about to rip this code out, but I want to make sure that it exists only by historical accident and no longer has a purpose. -Alex

Can we use Windows Kits idl files?
by James McDonnell Nov. 29, 2022

Nov. 29, 2022

Are the Windows Kits SDK WinRT .idl files acceptable to read-rework inside the wine source? They are akin to header files, no? I asked on the irc but didn't get any reply. There was a follow up comment asking about ReactOS headers as well: > on the topic of headers, are we allowed to look at ReactOS NDK headerS > s/headerS/headers/ > they contain internal structure definitions only, nothing else Thank you, James

Bug 52263 - Deadlock in dinput
by Fabian Maurer Nov. 20, 2022

Nov. 20, 2022

Hello, you committed a fix for Bug 52263, but I think that only masks the issue, not really fixing it. Your fix is here: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/commit/ 7e5eeecdfb5c90042945d9e84a3a9f8b2ed0036a I described what happens in https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52314#c4 I think we can only time out in this wait, so this doesn't seem right. Could you please take a second look? Regards, Fabian Maurer

Cuda Applications on Wine - suggesting to merge wine-staging/patches/nvcuda-CUDA_Support patches into upstream wine.
by Alois Schlögl Nov. 16, 2022

Nov. 16, 2022

I'd like suggesting to merge the 17 patches from wine-staging/patches/nvcuda-CUDA_Support patches into upstream wine for the following reasons: Currently Cuda applications for Windows do not run in native Wine. Such an application is Warpem (available for Windows only), and CUDA-Z for Windows. I assume there are other applications as well. This could be fixed by pulling in the 17 patches wine-staging/patches/nvcuda-CUDA_Support. Possible disadvantages: - build dependency to cuda - some distros might not want to have a build dependency on cuda.h That's the choice of the package manager, but this should be endorsed and recommended for the above reason. - run-time dependency on cuda wine does not have a runtime dependency on cuda (probably due to dynamic linking) e.g. cuda-z can be started under wine, and stops gracefully with a message the cuda is not available. - number of APIs to maintain is currently done anyway (by the wine-staging team) From a the perspective of some application, Cuda is part of the operating system should be provided by the platform (Wine in our case). Overall, it seems merging the nvcuda-CUDA_Support into upstream Wine are the right thing to do. Best regards, Alois

Wine 8.0 code freeze
by Alexandre Julliard Nov. 14, 2022

Nov. 14, 2022

Folks, With the end of the year approaching, it will soon be time to start the code freeze towards Wine 8.0. My plan is to have another two development releases, and start code freeze with Wine 7.23, on December 9. So if there are things that you want in 8.0, you have another 4 weeks to get them upstreamed... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
