Installers

May 24, 2003

Hello, I have noticed that modern installers are struggling with wine, as a few people have reported here. I am running no-windows (except msvcrt for now) and seeing things which range from: Windows not being drawn completely Windows not being re-drawn Installers which hang completely Questions... 1. Is anyone actively looking at it? 1a. If No, what 'normally' causes such problems - Ole, windows problems or others? Where would be a good starting point 2. What system dlls would make installing easier or possible? Regards, Jason

rfc: _thiscall and msvcrt
by Ann and Jason Edmeades May 24, 2003

May 24, 2003

Hi Uwe / Alexander, I've been trying to get the 'thiscall' issue sorted out, but its proving slightly interesting :-) The issue is as follows: Post-change I have a routine like: void MSVCRT___non_rtti_object_copy_ctor(const __non_rtti_object * rhs, CONTEXT86* context) { __non_rtti_object *_this = (__non_rtti_object *)context->Ecx; TRACE("(%p %p)\n",_this,rhs); MSVCRT_bad_typeid_copy_ctor(&_this->base,&rhs->base); <<--- Type errors during compile } This will not compile, because I have ALSO changed MSVCRT_bad_typeid_copy_ctor as it too suffers from the _thiscall issue. (Even if I switch the parms around to account for moving the this to the last parm). void MSVCRT_bad_typeid_copy_ctor(const bad_typeid * rhs, CONTEXT86* context) { bad_typeid *_this = (bad_typeid *)context->Ecx; TRACE("(%p %p)\n",_this,rhs); MSVCRT_exception_copy_ctor(&_this->base,&rhs->base); } Ie it now expects a context86 structure with ecx pointing to 'this' (this I guess is &_this->base). (And note it suffers from the same problem in the call to MSVCRT_exception_copy_ctor!) Now I can change the routines to say for example: context->Ecx = (DWORD)&_this->base; MSVCRT_bad_typeid_copy_ctor(&rhs->base, context); But I feel this is making a hack even worse, as the context isnt really anymore as other registers would have changed. Is this acceptable? If so, how does this patch look (I havent tried it against the original culprit just yet, but will do assuming the idea is right).

Again GTA3 problems -- it is fully broken. Warcraft 3 as well.

CTRL-C in winedbg
by Gerhard W. Gruber May 24, 2003

May 24, 2003

I tried to set a breakpoint in agent when I investigated that crash. Since the address was not available at start I fired up Agent and then used <CTRL>-C in winedbg afterwards. The problem I had with this is, that this doesn't seem to be transparent to the application. Most of the time Agent crashed with unhandled exception when I continued. I thought that pressing CTRL-C shouldn't be noticable for the debugee. Of course there could be code that could make problems like timer or such, but I don't know if this is the case here. I tried this several times and only two times it worked as expected. All the other times Agent crashed. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch. (Henry Louis Mencken)

XFS may support case-insensitivity soon(ish) & lufs does it now
by Russell G. Howe May 24, 2003

May 24, 2003

I noticed on the linux-xfs list an announcement by Steve Lord where he listed a few things which might make it into XFS in the next few months: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/200305/msg00233.html One of them, "Mixed case support in XFS (for Samba)" presumably means case-insensitive filenames/directories. Keith Owens also mentioned the lufs (Linux userland fs) project at http://lufs.sf.net/ This apparently allows for case-insensitive filesystems by way of a userspace wrapper. For anyone who might be having trouble with case-sensitive UNIX filesystems, these might be worth considering. Note that I haven't tried lufs, and the XFS stuff hasn't yet been released, but maybe the information is useful to someone. -- Russell Howe | Why be just another cog in the machine, rhowe(a)wiss.co.uk | when you can be the spanner in the works?

Winedbg backtrace
by Gerhard W. Gruber May 24, 2003

May 24, 2003

I spent the last few hours trying to debug Agent. I was setting breakpoints on the last function and wondered why this breakpoint is not triggered before the crash occurs until I finally realized that the backtrace is upside down. Is it intentional that this is the case? Also I wondered if it wouldn't be better to show the register dump after the trace. If the trace is very long (I guess this could be the case rather often) then you always have to scroll up or type "info reg" in order to get the dump. At least I think I may make more progress now that I know that I was always looking at the wrong function because of the order. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch.

Help with dlopen and friends
by Shachar Shemesh May 23, 2003

May 23, 2003

Hi all, I am trying to add ICU as a soft dependancy of Wine, so I can use it's BiDi functions. Unfortunetly, it seems to be using miracolous name mangling. ubidi.h has: U_CAPI UBiDi * U_EXPORT2 ubidi_open(void); however, 'nm -D libicuuc.so.21.0' gives: 00046784 T ubidi_open_2_1 The problem is not just theoretical. When I try to add to configure.ac: AC_CHECK_LIB(icuuc,ubidi_open,icu_lib=yes) the resulting program does not compile. It only compiles properly if the original header is used (I presume because that's how it knows about the name mangling). My dillema - even if I sort the configure mess out, for example by telling it to compile my own program, that uses the proper include, I am still not going to be successful in importing the symbol. As it appears that the mangling is a simple append of the library version, I can do this manually, but then future version stand no chance of working. Even if a simple recompile would solve it, the version will need to be updated at the import code. Possible solutions: 1. Use a different library - can be done, but messy. This is the most apropriate tool for the job. FriBiDi doesn't have shaping support, so Arabic will not work properly. 2. Inline the entire library - huge, and a maintanace headache. 3. Reimplement everything - possible, but seems like a total waste just because of a stupid name mangling. 4. Create a hard dependancy - not really an option. 5. Static link the library - now that will actually work. It is equivalent to 2 without the maintanance headache. Opinions and thoughts, please.
