supported apps page, crash reporting, and phoning home on success
by Dan Kegel May 8, 2004

May 8, 2004

I was looking for a newbie project recommendation (for someone else, not me!), and figured "pick a popular windows app, and firm up wine support for it" would be a good one. Not knowing what apps are popular, I paid a visit to the winehq supported apps page. I noticed the page didn't have links to the apps' homepages, so I posted a patch to fix that. We're probably missing some apps that people use and like. I don't know where to get good data on this, though (I'm no Windows user!) Maybe we need to add a 'phone home' sort of option to Wine so that it gives people the option of uploading crash and/or success data for each app the user runs to winehq? It could upload once a day, no need to upload any more often, probably. - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change

I'm not assuming anything about newer versions. I just pointed out that some of the versions mentioned there are so old they are either no longer downloadable, or (in the case of winmx) might contain serious security holes. Whoever applies the patch, please remove that FIXME. - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change

wininet asynchronous transfers
by Kevin Koltzau May 8, 2004

May 8, 2004

I noticed the wininet callbacks don't respond quite the same as windows does. Primarily the async calls complete almost immediately while on windows they don't respond at all until an alertable function is called (eg. SleepEx). Looking through the wininet code, I noticed we are using worker threads for async transfers rather then async procedure calls via QueueUserAPC, which is how windows does it AFAICT. Is there a reason for this? Would it be a problem if the implementation was changed to use APC? IMHO this would reduce some overhead as we would not be creating extra worker threads when not really needed, the callbacks would respond more similar to how they respond under windows, and may significantly simplify the code. If there are no arguments against this, I would like to work on it.

Re: winmm WAVE_MAPPER patch

Did you try on windows what happens with waveOutGetDevCaps(-1, ...) to see what Windows returns for the mapper itself. The current code (in mapper) assumes that mapper itself has capabilities (which I'm not sure of). It may well be that we shall return an error (independently on the number of installed drivers), but in that case, proper support is better in the wave mapper it self than in winmm. A+

Probably you are right. We told about it before your mail with Ricardo Y. Igarashi (the author of that keymap). But he didn't insist on immediate changes. :) Since you think it is a real problem I change it now. Thanks for the report. - -- Ivan U.

I read previously that Daylight Savings Time transition dates were a FIXME. If I knew where to implement them, I will look into implementing them myself.

It's not more incorrect than before anyway, so if you prefer to see something that looks more like a valid path that's OK with me. Just be aware that if any real app tries to do something with the results it will fail just as badly as before. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
