PE stack trick not working on lowmem machines
by Marcus Meissner Nov. 26, 2003

Nov. 26, 2003

Hi, On SuSE 8.2, i586 glibc, loader/wine-* crash due to the 256 MB static array in main(). The test machine has just 64MB RAM and 200MB swap. If I start decreasing the array it works, up to 201MB. $ /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ./wine-kthread ./wine-kthread: error while loading shared libraries: ./wine-kthread: cannot map zero-fill pages: Cannot allocate memory $ So ld.so really wants to get 20xMB memory but fails. -> Not good on low memory machines. (Not sure if we should fix it.) Btw, why don't we use -Wa,--noexecstack ? Ciao, Marcus

I would actually agree with Alexandre here, but W2K at least behaves differently. My tests show that RemoveDirectory just as CreateDirectory rejects all paths which contain one of the wildcards ": * ? \" < > |" with error 123 completely independent where that character occurs (not just in the path element which is created). And as far as I can say DeleteFile just as much behaves also this way. So should we attempt to be smarter than Windows in this case? Rolf Kalbermatter

It's not that I prefer the .com name, frankly I couldn't care less, it's just that I think it's silly to change a perfectly good name that everybody was used to, simply to achieve some questionable ideal of "purity" of the domain name; and even more silly to have to change all references to try to reduce the confusion that would never have happened if we hadn't changed it in the first place. But I don't really care enough to keep fighting about it, so I put your patch in... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Strange problem with wine
by Gerhard W. Gruber Nov. 25, 2003

Nov. 25, 2003

I'm using a build that is about one month old, but I don't think that this is the problem. I will update in the next few days and then I will see if this goes away. OK. I have written this small tool which you can download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmen. The Linux port uses a normal fork() and then executes the specifed application when the entry is selected from the menu. It works for every application but only with wine/Agent I have to select the entry twice to make it run. When I select the entry wich should run wine with Agent nothing happens. When I look into the process list the first time I can see this: 1506 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/wine /home/user/wine/D/home/agent/agent.exe 1507 ? S 0:00 \_ wineserver 1508 ? S 0:00 \_ wineserver Which is strange because I have two wineservers running. When I launch exactly the same commandline from the shell everything is normal. I see one Agent, one wineserver and Agent comes up fine. In the case of my application I can see the above list and Agent doesn't start. Only when I launch Agent a second time from my app then it starts fine. When I exit Agent then and look again I can still see the old Agent hanging, but as long as this one is there my app can launch Agent normally. When I kill this Agent and wineserver the same happens again and I have to start it twice. Any ideas what this could be? Since I only have this problem with wine I thought I ask if somebody could say something about this. -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pice Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu

Is it really too late to get some kind of hook into prelink to stop it interfering with Wine? It seems daft that we need such a big hack when surely a flag in the elf headers would work just as well with co-operation from the rtld. --__--__-- >Shachar Shemesh <wine-devel(a)shemesh.biz> writes: >Now here's the puzzle - GetProcAddress is never called.

What I see them do is call "GetModuleHandle" on >"kernel32.dll", and then use the resulting handle as a struct/array >pointer, and access offsets into it. This is not exactly very nice but it is also not to surprising. The PE header is actually documented on MSDN including the import and export tables. GetModuleHandle actually also just returns the HMODULE which at least for Win32 is the same as the HINSTANCE returned by LoadLibrary. The difference is if I'm not mistaken, that GetModuleHandle will usually not try to load the module if it isn't already loaded, but for kernel32 you can safely assume that a process has it already loaded implicitedly or even explicitedly. An HMODULE on Win32 is nothing else than the base address of a loaded module image, and with some offset calculations using Macros from winnt.h you can get at anything in that image including the export table and from there you can then search GetProcAddress. One possible problem is that the unicows GetProcAddress implementation might not search the function in the export table by name but rather by ordinal and our ordinal or ordinal base is different from what Unicows expects.

"YyZz" are only added if it's a western encoding. This already happens (a patch I submitted earlier this year, and forgot to add my copyright to the file). With this patch, if you view a font in it's Western encoding, you get a sample that says "AaBbYyZzYyZz". If you view a font in another encoding (say, Hebrew, because that's the only one that was fed in), you get "AaBbYyZz��", instead of "AaBb��", like it is on Windows 2000, and like it makes sense (we want to spare some space).
