Re: LockFile() and UnlockFile() are working
by John K. Hohm March 23, 2003

March 23, 2003

> This resolution will make a ton of business apps based on desktop database > software that much closer to working. I'm not so sure. I expect most database software depends on the mandatory nature of LockFile(), i.e. that a ReadFile() or WriteFile() from another process on a locked region fails with ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION. Typically, one process will LockFile() an area, then update on-disk structures in such a way that another process reading during the update would get confused were it not for ReadFile() refusing to read the locked bytes. Note that the reading process does not LockFile() to read, it just tries ReadFile() and handles its failure (typically by waiting and trying again later). For database software that uses read/write locks via LockFileEx(), the standard Unix advisory lock semantics are just fine, and those patches are indeed the ticket. However, advisory locking is generally more difficult to manage, and LockFileEx() is not supported on Windows 95/98/Me, so I doubt many apps use it. >From what I can tell, mandatory locking on Linux involves tricks like using a special mount option, and setting the SGID bit of the file to be locked before the locking process starts; I'm not sure which other Unixen even support it.

Regression in latest CVS
by Vitaliy Margolen March 22, 2003

I have a problem with latest CVS in the past several days. Every app locking up. Any suggestions where should I look. It's not a dead loop. Something happening, according to trace. Here is the trace where I think the problem starts: 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlLeaveCriticalSection() retval=00000000 ret=0040f8d5 0009:Call user32.IsWindowVisible(00010021) ret=00444671 0009:Call kernel32._EnterSysLevel(4071cc58) ret=406c6793 0009:trace:win32:_EnterSysLevel (0x4071cc58, level 2): thread 9 (fs 008f, pid 2321) count before 0 0009:trace:win32:_EnterSysLevel (0x4071cc58, level 2): thread 9 (fs 008f, pid 2321) count after 1 0009:Ret kernel32._EnterSysLevel() retval=400d9d20 ret=406c6793 0009:Call kernel32._LeaveSysLevel(4071cc58) ret=406c67b3 0009:trace:win32:_LeaveSysLevel (0x4071cc58, level 2): thread 9 (fs 008f, pid 2321) count before 1 0009:trace:win32:_LeaveSysLevel (0x4071cc58, level 2): thread 9 (fs 008f, pid 2321) count after 0 0009:Ret kernel32._LeaveSysLevel() retval=00000063 ret=406c67b3 0009:Ret user32.IsWindowVisible() retval=00000000 ret=00444671 0009:Call ntdll.RtlEnterCriticalSection(41370830) ret=0040b6c4 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlEnterCriticalSection() retval=00000000 ret=0040b6c4 0009:trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException code=c0000005 flags=0 addr=0x40eeb2 0009:trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException info[0]=00000000 0009:trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException info[1]=0000000c 0009: queue_exception_event( first=1, record={context={flags=00000000,eax=00000000,ebx=00457bec,ecx=400f8600,edx=400f2c30,esi=413710cc,edi=00457bec,ebp=40592d04,eip=0040eeb2,esp=40592ce4,eflags=00010246,cs=0023,ds=002b,es=002b,fs=008f,gs=004f,dr0=00000000,dr1=00000000,dr2=00000000,dr3=00000000,dr6=00000000,dr7=00000000,float={00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000}},rec={code=c0000005,flags=0,rec=(nil),addr=0x40eeb2,params={0,c}} ) 0009: queue_exception_event() = 0 { handle=(nil) } 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x40f106 code=c0000005 flags=0 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 1 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x43cfa8 code=c0000005 flags=0 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 1 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x43cfe0 code=c0000005 flags=0 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 1 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x43d000 code=c0000005 flags=0 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 1 0009:trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x402ffd code=c0000005 flags=0 0009:Call user32.LoadStringA(00400000,0000ffd0,40480334,00000400) ret=00405712 0009:trace:resource:LoadStringA instance = 0x400000, id = ffd0, buffer = 40480334, length = 1024 0009:Call ntdll.RtlAllocateHeap(40240000,00000000,00000800) ret=406e9eb6 0009:trace:heap:RtlAllocateHeap (0x40240000,00000002,00000800): returning 4027d068 0009:Ret ntdll.RtlAllocateHeap() retval=4027d068 ret=406e9eb6 0009:trace:resource:LoadStringW instance = 0x400000, id = ffd0, buffer = 4027d068, length = 1024 0009:Call kernel32.FindResourceW(00400000,00000ffe,00000006) ret=406e9d4d 0009:trace:resource:RES_FindResource2 (0x400000, 00000006, 00000ffe, 0000, W, PE) 0009:Ret kernel32.FindResourceW() retval=00468998 ret=406e9d4d 0009:Call kernel32.LoadResource(00400000,00468998) ret=406e9d5c 0009:trace:resource:RES_LoadResource (0x400000, 0x468998, PE) 0009:Ret kernel32.LoadResource() retval=0046c6f0 ret=406e9d5c 0009:Call kernel32.LockResource(0046c6f0) ret=406e9d6a 0009:trace:resource:LockResource (0x46c6f0) 0009:Ret kernel32.LockResource() retval=0046c6f0 ret=406e9d6a 0009:trace:resource:LoadStringW strlen = 4 0009:trace:resource:LoadStringW L"Read" loaded !

Re: WineHQ redesign - TODO
by Brian Vincent (C) March 22, 2003

March 22, 2003

> Also, I am serious about the "Latest News" box. We need an agreement -- > what about a patch implementing the idea, so people can have a more > informed opinion? Here's my $.02: I think the "Wine Weekly News" heading on the right should just be changed to "News". Instead of something like "Issue: 162" maybe it should say something like "Wine Weekly News #162". Interspersed with the WWN issues can be other news, for example the interviews that will start going up next week. Over time I'm sure there will be things of interest to add there. As far as the News section that goes into WWN, I don't think it's appropriate to break those items out into their own announcements. For one thing, the same XML goes to www.kerneltraffic.org and I'm going to continue having the first section be News. The bigger problem is announcing commercial development projects. I'm sure we'd all agree that TransGaming and CodeWeavers announcements would be fine to add, but there's a lot of gray area outside of that. For example, Lindows.com had (has) a press release about once a week. They made it into quite a few WWN issues before I stopped covering them. Splashing press releases on the front page doesn't necessarily make it news. I'll still have most of that stuff in the WWN anyway. So.. my vote is for a general "News" box that will mostly end up containing WWN issues, the interview series that's going to stretch through summer, and any other items that are non-commercial (updates to the status page, etc). Maybe if we could get people using the app DB we could put a news heading like "How to Install IE 5.5" and link to instructions in the app DB. PS. I love the "got Wine?" banner -brian

LockFile() and UnlockFile() are working
by Paul McNett March 22, 2003

March 22, 2003

As of yesterday, 3/18/2003, LockFile() and UnlockFile() are now implemented, and seem to be working perfectly on my end, testing with the Visual FoxPro native functions of flock(), rlock(), and unlock(). This resolution will make a ton of business apps based on desktop database software that much closer to working. Thanks Alexandre for slipping that one in to the 20030318 release! :) -- Paul McNett - p(a)ulmcnett.com Hollister, California, USA

Wine and glibc 3.2.x
by Davide Giannotti March 21, 2003

March 21, 2003

Ok, i recently compiled and upgraded to glibc 3.2.1 and there's no way to make wine work. There's thread related bug. New Red Hat, Suse and Mandrake will be shipped with this new version of glibc, so i think that's a serious bug. (See also http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/03/0570.html) Configure cannot even check that libc are reentrant, i'm not a glibc expert but there's some error with _errno and _errno_location. I tried to apply a patch i found in the patch mailing list, but it didn't work either. ( http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2003/01/0338.html ) So, consider that every linux distribution will be shipped with the new glibc, and that there will be really a few windows programs that can work without thread support.... well... i'd think about give priority to solve this one. If anybody found a workaround or wrote some patches... please let me now. For now, i'll not downgrade my libc for sure. I'm without wine. Thank you all, guys. Davide

patch: macros changed to inline functions (msvcrt headers)
by madhura sahasrabudhe March 21, 2003

March 21, 2003

Hi, I have changed the macros in the msvcrt headers to static inline functions. The modified files are: conio.h, ctype.h, direct.h, malloc.h, process.h, search.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h and string.h (in the include/msvcrt directory). I have attached a patch for the same. Thank you.
