Button top-left corner is 2 pixels too high. 2. Button is 2 pixels too short. 3. Background bar is 2 pixels too wide. This gives the 6 pixels you noticed. Items 1 & 2 are definitely within the toolbar.c. Item 3 may be in either toolbar or rebar. I need to work on moving screenshots from Win to Linux for comparison. Guy

FIXME macros should be used in cases where we know something is wrong but we don't expect this part of the code to ever get used. This way if some app triggers the wrong code we can hear about it. It doesn't make sense to add FIXME output to parts of the code we know are going to be called, it just generates noise; a comment is much better in this case. > (For example the WM_NCCALCSIZE message uses wParam as a Boolean value and > if it is TRUE then the lParam no longer points to a simple rectangle but to > a structure whose first element is a rectangle.

Apps are allowed to ignore the extra information if they don't have any use for it. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

I reversed just this patch and there are more of this fixme than any other. Hope the backtrace I sent before is useful.

Please run it under wine and let it start the debugger by itself when encountering the first CheckNotSysLevel, then you should get a proper backtrace. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Protocol for adding FIXMEs
by Bill Medland Aug. 16, 2001

Aug. 16, 2001

What do people think? I seem to have a knack for finding things that are probably going to need fixing at some point but for which I do not have time or knowledge currently. My first temptation is to add a FIXME macro in the code directly. However I am occasionally frustrated by the number of times I see the same FIXME (e.g. the pthread_rwlock* and the "kill other threads" one). I also recognise from posts that these disconcert newbies whereas after a couple of weeks one gets used to them. So maybe it is better to use FIXME comments where one knows that something is wrong but it doesn't seem to matter. (For example the WM_NCCALCSIZE message uses wParam as a Boolean value and if it is TRUE then the lParam no longer points to a simple rectangle but to a structure whose first element is a rectangle. Very little if any code handles that case explicitly.) I know that the manual (wine-devel 8.0) says to add FIXMEs I am concerned that this could lead to ridiculously large traces that hide the important stuff (to say nothing of upsetting timing) Any other views?

I'll handle it. I have this horrible feeling its the compiler again (2.96-85; RedHat 7.1). (It seems to be a side-effect of DPtoLP!!??) Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: Guy L.

Good day! I guess native riched32.dll does something nasty to provoke the new DbgBreakPoint in _CheckNotSysLevel. Builtin riched32 doesn't, of course, but then the app won't start. I can't remember that I've ever seen the fixme that was here before, but I'll check again when I send this. I've attached a backtrace. I'd appreciate some guidance on what else might be useful, or maybe a pointer to some doco on critical sections in Wine, even it is in .sgml, .c or .h in case I have to debug it myself.

Wine call graph; wineserver; the "big picture"
by Phillip Schmitz Aug. 16, 2001

Aug. 16, 2001

[I mistakenly posted this to comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine / wine-users rather than here. Thanks to eric pouech for his reply there. Sorry if you've already seen this there] Hi, I've been lurking for a while now with a view to starting work on wine - specifically COM and DCOM. I know some people have started some work and there might be some patent issues with COM at least - so maybe DCOM is a better bet (I had the possibly naive idea of implementing COM via DCOM - it would be almost transparent, slower but less "dangerous"). I've read most of the developer docs and some relevant source but I'm still having problems grokking the interrelationships between different parts of wine and the role(s) of wineserver. I have a general understanding of Win32 from a programatic point of view rather than wine's implementation details. While I'm quite willing to "read the source" there's rather a lot of it :) and rather deep dependencies (even with tags one jumps around for a while trying to understand what does what). Does anyone have a call graph for wine or a (decent, open-source) program for making one. I've considered Source-Navigator but it seems like the required database would be twice the size of the wine source! Since (D)COM affects many parts of function and message handling and process address space tampering I considered the less ambitious project of fixing up (Net)DDE first - at least then the all-important Hearts will run networked. Is anyone actively working on that (the source has sporadic updates)? I don't want to start hacking off on a tangent. The different behaviours of win9x and NT will also be a problem since I don't have a real NT installation Also, what do people use in terms of test-suites? custom win32 apps? free/shareware? While I have quite a few larger apps like Office etc I imagine it's better to try smaller, more specific apps at first. I want to do comparisons and communication with Win95/8 in VMWare and don't really want to _purchase more Win32 apps_ for testing! Thanks for any experience or insight you might share. Phillip

Extra space at bottom of toolbar
by Bobby Bingham Aug. 16, 2001

Aug. 16, 2001

Has anyone else seen this... In WinZip 8.0 (I don't know about other versions/software), there are about 6 extra pixels at the bottom of the toolbar below the buttons. Does anyone know what's causing this? I can look into it if I get some time, but I was wondering if anybody knew. Bobby Bingham
