POSIX / pthreads / wineserver - can I help?
by Stefan Jones March 4, 2003

March 4, 2003

Hi all, I have been following for a few months now the recent glibc and nptl changes. How glibc now eliminated it's own version of wineserver in it's thread implementation with nptl. I have also read up on the difficulties the mono people have with linking to wine due to pthreads. I am a gentoo developer with some spare time. I recently came across your pending problem when we put glibc-2.3.2-pre1 into our unstable branch. I have read up on some of the wine-devel email archives. I have a machine setup with the 2.5 kernel and nptl to do some wine development on! I have also noticed the winex problems outlined at http://www.transgaming.com/papers/shmserver.html I figured a proper solution to the wine thread thing would also for the most part solve that problem also as most wineserver calls like mutexes, thread signalling which take up the CPU time can be migrated to glibc and thus the new 2.5 kernel by using futexes and the new thread syscalls and tls. This is especially true after I read the functions in scheduler/client.c, reading / writing to a pipe per syscall! I am not that experienced a developer, but I am useful. I have started reading up the wine source code and understand basics of the wineserver message passing and the TEB / tls system. I know little about windows programming though. Any hint on what I can work on, help, to get this working again? My idea is to alter wine so that it runs on any 100% ish POSIX threading system, aka glibc, and thus offload many tasks to the system library and solve the difficulties for good. This may be difficult / impossible esp. for windows only syscalls, but for those the Winex shm idea may work, with minimal errno hacking. (as the errno can be set by the calling thread ). Any ideas where I can start ? Stefan

miranda
by Geoff Thorpe March 4, 2003

March 4, 2003

Hi all, I've been fishing round for something resembling a feature-full yet not overly flakey I-M client (with support for the commonly-used protocols). After finding many of the X11-native clients insufficient in many respects, I'd been making do with trillian under wine. However that too experiences many problems and the modern win32 obsession of creating irritating GUI mutations is probably the reason. Eg. window creation sometimes hangs wine, dragging window location sometimes hangs wine, fonts seem to go haywire from time to time, preferences dialog seems to have various breakages, etc. So I was interested in trying out "Miranda I-M" which looked from the screenshots (in default mode anyhow) to be a reasonably conventional-looking win32 GUI client and seems to be under active development judging by sourceforge stats. Unfortunately after installation, which went pretty well, the program fails to start quite early on with this; fixme:file:FindFirstChangeNotificationA this is not supported yet (non-trivial). <sigh> Am I going to regret enquiring what this means? :-) So my question is in two parts; (1) is the above something that I can work on and/or help anyone else work on? (2) does anyone know of any other win32-based I-M client (supporting at least ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, AIM) that is stable under wine?

GlobalInterfaceTable?
by Mike Hearn March 4, 2003

March 4, 2003

Hi, As part of a program that creates an instance of MSXML2.DOMDocument, I get the following errors: fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID {00000323-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}, hres is 0x80040154 fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID {6c736db1-bd94-11d0-8a23-00aa00b58e10}, hres is 0x80040154 (actually there are some more beforehand, but they don't seem fatal). Anyway, the first one seems to be StdGlobalInterfaceTable, which MSDN indicates should be implemented by Windows. Is this right, and if so, does Wine implement it? I grepped the sources and the only mention is in an IDL file, so I'd assume not. thanks -mike

Problem in listview with LVM_OWNERDATA set too late
by Dan Kegel March 4, 2003

March 4, 2003

The test program http://www.kegel.com/ownerdata.exe shows a problem with OWNERDATA listview controls which pick up that attribute after being created. (No, this is not per the spec. Yes, a real program does that.) To see the problem, run ownerdata.exe, and select "View / Capture View". The window should NOT be blank. Methinks it's a bug, or at least a missing feature, in our listview. Dimi Paun thinks so, too, and wants me to file a bug about it. I will when I'm less swamped... - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045
