argc/argv issue - More info, hack and questions...
by Ann and Jason Edmeades April 29, 2002

April 29, 2002

Hello, I am still investigating this argv/argc issue. The sequence of events as far as I can tell: CreateProcessA(NULL, "regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx",....) Process_CREATE calls fork_and_exec( NULL, "regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx", ...) This sees there is no explicitly specified filename so inserts wine and -- into the command line (now "wine -- regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx") Eventually the new process starts with the wine -- regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx as the command line, so it needs to strip off the inserted fields, and in PROCESS_InitWine, main_exe_name is correct (path\regsvr32.exe) but the argc/argv includes these new fields. At the top it states: (Scheduler/process.c, lines 491/492): app_argv++; /* remove argv[0] (wine itself) */ app_argc--; This obviously leaves behine the -- and things go downhill from there onwards. Interestingly wine -- regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx works fine, so there must be command line processing here which doesnt occur during the CreateProcess route. Question: Should fork_and_exec insert the -- into the command line? If it should, should PROCESS_InitWine check for it, ie: app_argv++; /* remove argv[0] (wine itself) */ app_argc--; if (app_argc && strcmp(app_argv[0], "--") == 0) { app_argv++; /* remove argv[1] ('--' inserted by fork_and_exec) */ app_argc--; } However, what implications are of doing this (it works, of course). This feels like hacking around an imcompatibility within wine but I am happy to submit a patch as it definitely resolves a problem for me. Regards, Jason

Unit testing

Is there a tutorial or so for how to create new unit tests in Wine? If not, I'll just go ahead and use those there are for blueprints. -- regards, Jakob Eriksson The wages of sin is debugging. -- Ron Jeffries

Wineconsole using all memory
by Sylvain Petreolle April 29, 2002

April 29, 2002

Hi Eric, I had got memory problems by the past. When run, wineconsole was using the whole memory on my system. Problem was never solved: it had also disappeared whithout doing anything. (we only had put it in trace mode and enter the correct values into registry, that had solved nothing) It's already there today. So an output from wineconsole telnet gives this : (put in trace mode) Change notification: active(72) resize(80,150)fixme:bitmap:CreateCompatibleBitmap got bad width 2313600 or height 2457900, please look for reason err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x400fe70c "module.c: loader_section" wait timed out, retrying (60 sec) fs=0247wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger... win-size(80,25) update(0,149) curs-geom(100,1).

argc / argv issue?
by Ann and Jason Edmeades April 28, 2002

April 28, 2002

Hello, I started debugging a relatively simple problem, which is I copied comdlg32.ocx and regsvr32.exe from a windows 2000 box to a no-windows wine installation (on Mandrake 8.2), and found that if I run 'wine regsvr32.exe comdlg32.ocx', it succeeds fine, whereas running the same command under wcmd caused failures. I debugged a little further and the problem appears to be caused by argc being wrong when wcmd (a winelib program) launches regsvr32.exe. I am continuing to investigate but I know argv/argc issues have cropped up lots and would appreciate any pointers. My debugging so far (edited, @@@@ are my extra trace points): ./wcmd -debugmsg +msvcrt,+process >~/wine/patches/dbg/wcmdproccessinfo 2>&1 WCMD starting: trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argv[0] = ./wcmd trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argc = 1 trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argv[0] = /usr/local/bin/wineconsole trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argv[1] = --use-event=52 trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argc = 2 Launching regsvr32.exe: trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argv[0] = /usr/local/bin/wine trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argv[1] = -- trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argv[2] = regsvr32 trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argv[3] = comdlg32.ocx trace:process:process_init @@@@@ argc = 4 *** Note argc is 4 (correctly) trace:msvcrt:msvcrt_init_mt_locks initializing mtlocks trace:msvcrt:msvcrt_init_io :handles (8)(12)(16) trace:msvcrt:msvcrt_init_console :Opening console handles trace:msvcrt:msvcrt_init_args got 'regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx', wide = L"regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx" argc=3 *** Note argc is 3 now, incorrectly Other debugging bits of info, originally I thought the problem was in native msvcrt so I added trace to local __getmainargs to trace out what was passed: wine: trace:msvcrt:msvcrt_init_args got 'regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx', wide = L"regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx" argc=2 *** 2 parms trace:msvcrt:__getmainargs @@@ MSVCRT Info trace:msvcrt:__getmainargs @@@ Arg 0 = regsvr32 trace:msvcrt:__getmainargs @@@ Arg 1 = comdlg32.ocx wcmd: trace:msvcrt:msvcrt_init_args got 'regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx', wide = L"regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx" argc=3 *** 3 parms trace:msvcrt:__getmainargs @@@ MSVCRT Info trace:msvcrt:__getmainargs @@@ Arg 0 = -- trace:msvcrt:__getmainargs @@@ Arg 1 = regsvr32 trace:msvcrt:__getmainargs @@@ Arg 2 = comdlg32.ocx I'll continue to investigate, but suggestions welcome.

CD-ROM not recognized
by Ian D. Stewart April 28, 2002

April 28, 2002

Howdy Folks, I'm trying to run Cryo's Arthur's Knights under wine. I've managed to install using setup.exe, but when I go to play the game, I get an error message telling me to insert CD #1, even though CD #1 is in the CD-ROM tray and mounted. Any clues as to why I would be getting this message, how to convince the game that the CD is actually in the CD-ROM drive, or how to research any of these issues myself? Thanx, Ian -- "How am I supposed to blend? I'm two feet taller than everybody else in here!" -- Chris Tucker Rush Hour 2

Now this provides an interesting peek into the minds of our legislatures. As I understand it, under the DMCA, developing and/or distributing technology *capable of* circumventing copy protection is illegal. However, use of said technology is not...

Wine[X] and Grand Prix 3 (Microprose)
by Rene Rebe April 28, 2002

April 28, 2002

Hi all. I just turned my last 10 hours into configuring Wine to run Formula One Grand Prix 3 from Microprose. After several tries using the latest Wine and WineX (making many mistakes with the registry files ...) I got it to run using the last-night WineX cvs soruce ;-) I only have trhee graphic problems: a) the menus (where you configure several game options/details) do not appear in the right colors. Like a 8bit image displayed with the wrong color-pallete. b) in the race with very perfect weather (0% rain risk) - where the sky should be completely blue - the sky doesn't get painted at all -> resulting in "tearing" textures, because this area doesn't get refresh. (when some clouds show up the graphic is perfect) and c) Direct3D is not recognized at all -> resulting that the game runs in software-rendered mode. For a) I guess it migth be a wrong 16bit mode (or even an 8 bit mode) - my XFree-4.2.0 is running in 16bit mode normally. 24bit XFree results in the same mess and 8bit X results in a slighty worser images. About b) I guess some bitblt or clear function is nor working properly. I also tested the PerferctGraphics and DoubleBuffer option of Wine yielding the same results ... For c) OpenGL on my Matrox G450 is configured and runs fine - I have no clue whatever Wine[X] needs to provide Direct3D ... ? I can provide whatever trace output is needed - and would also offer to write some code if someone points me to the place in the souce where something is missing (I know C and C++ ...). I could also provide trace output to get (generic) Wine run the game. (It seems to be a problem that more DirectDraw is missing?). The rest of the game runs just fine, including Sound and Joystick support. Configuration: - Linux 2.4.19-pre7 - glibc-2.2.6 - gcc-2.95.3 - XFree-4.2.0 - AMD Athlon 1700XP; Matrox MGA 450 (OpenSouce driver) [- ROCK Linux (http://www.rocklinux.org) k33p h4ck1n6 René -- René Rebe (Registered Linux user: #248718 <http://counter.li.org>) eMail: rene.rebe(a)gmx.net rene(a)rocklinux.org Homepage: http://drocklinux.dyndns.org/rene/ Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.
