Getting a program to crash
by Duane Clark Jan. 17, 2003

Jan. 17, 2003

Howdy, I am trying to make a program crash ;) Instead, the program apparently captures exceptions, pops up a dialog, and continues on. I am hoping for a way to prevent that from happening, and instead falling into the debugger. It does call EXC_RtlRaiseException when the exception occurs, but it is not clear to me how that function works. Hopefully I can comment out something there to get it to crash properly?

wine-releases has gone?
by Mike Hearn Jan. 17, 2003

Jan. 17, 2003

Hi, On the Wine release notice it talks about a mailing list for large diffs between the releases, which would be useful for me (no cvs access at the moment at work), but the list appears to be dead, with no archives available. Is it still in use? -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAICS this is even the third time that you submit this. Don't you think that it would have been time to ask Alexandre what the hell he's been thinking about constantly rejecting it ? ;-) Have a nice day ! -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://mohr.de.tt

wine robustness?
by Dan Kegel Jan. 17, 2003

Jan. 17, 2003

Say, how much address space protection is there in Wine? If a Wine process follows a wild pointer or passes garbage arguments to a Windows function call, are Wineserver and the other wine processes protected? Imagine a user running Word, and also some less reliable windows program. When that other program crashes, it shouldn't take Word with it. One way to check that kind of protection is with programs like 'crashme': http://people.delphiforums.com/gjc/crashme.html Has anyone tried running crashme on wine yet? - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

See http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=%2Bjq*-eaVn%40news.virata.com Not that I know, but I suspect Wine is trying to avoid handing out pointers that Windows can't possibly hand out.

system call tracing

Time
by Oliver Sampson Jan. 17, 2003

Jan. 17, 2003

Howdy, Forgive me if this is already known, but I checked the bug list and didn't see it. It would seem that when Agent makes a call to get the Wine system time, it's returned the BIOS time, but not the adjusted time zone. For example I have set in my KDE environment as the time and as CET (which is where I am.) You see that the time that this email was sent is actually around 15:32 instead of the real 16:32. Should I submit a bug? Thanks, ==================================================== Oliver Sampson olsam(a)quickaudio.com http://www.oliversampson.com

If you want to test whether both flags are set simultaneously then use something like this: if ((lpmii->fType & (MFT_BITMAP | MFT_SEPARATOR)) == (MFT_BITMAP | MFT_SEPARATOR)) A conformance test to show the real behaviour is urgently required. -- Dmitry.

Yes, I assume you mean IDragSourceHelper and I DropTargetHelper. I have a working IDragSourceHelper and I am just cleaning up the patch, but I fear that we may not have the underlying WS_EX_TRANSPARENT and WS_EX_LAYERED styles implemented that are needed for IDropTargetHelper. UpdateLayeredWindow is also not present, but making a stub for it would probably break a few apps. > juergen > -- > juergen.schmied(a)debitel.net > FAX über T-Online Fax&Fon: 01805 060 334 316 35 (12Cent/Min) Rob
