The reason I did that was that they can't be fixed as long as HANDLE/HGLOBAL is the wrong types. When they become the right types the warnings will automatically disappear and we can do s/DECLARE_OLD_HANDLE/DECLARE_HANDLE/. But there is no reason to have a lot of warnings that can't be fixed otherwise until then. > Yes you get a number of warnings if you turn > -DSTRICT on, most of them should disappear once the conversion is > complete; fixing them before that is a waste of time. Since we can't fix before that why show them at all? People that want to fix for example output messages can do, s/DECLARE_OLD_HANDLE/DECLARE_HANDLE/ in their tree, fix them and submit the patches (without the s/DECLARE_OLD_HANDLE/DECLARE_HANDLE/). > This is the > reason why -DSTRICT is not the default yet.

If you have to add typecasts something is wrong. No typecasts where the handle is used in conjuction with other handles, certainly not, no argument there. The code some expect all handles to be the of same type. However for the debugging output I disagree. I orginally thought as Francois (and you it seems) that handles are pointers and should be treated as such. But then I realized that when we implement Win32 on 64-bit platforms we can't have handles as pointers even internally if we wan't to support x86 emulation and even exposing a 64-bit handle to Winelib application can only cause trouble since they might store it is a 32-bit memory location. Sure we will probably be able to handle 64-bit pointers truncated to 32-bit by storing all objects in the lower 32-bit part of memory, but fear it might cause trouble all the same. Beside doing TRACE("(%p)", handle) on 64-bit platforms will needlessly display the always the same presumably zero upper 32-bit part of the handle. That why I decided to should use TRACE("(0x%08lx)", (DWORD) handle) instead to avoid such issues. In short, the code should IMHO support both 32-bit pointers as well and 32-bit integers as handles presuming of course that all handles use the same. The real reason that we should support compiling Wine with -DSTRICT is not because handles becomes pointers but because callbacks gets the correct prototype. I case not you haven't realized the obvious, it doesn't matter if the handles are 32-bit integer or 32-bit pointers as long as all handles are the same. The code either 1. Just pass them around as the same type of handles of other types of handles (HANDLE/HGLOBAL). 2. Tries to access the underlying object, in such case a void pointer will not do use any good, we must use a cast either after calls to functions like GlobalLock or alone.

Handles are pointers in the Windows API, and they should be pointers inside of Wine. On a 64-bit platforms pointers will be 64-bit, and so will handles. If you want to run 32-bit code on such a platform you need a conversion for pointers anyway, so you might as well use the same conversion for handles. Not to mention that some handles are actually pointers (like HMODULE). So no, there is absolutely no reason to force handles to be 32 bits. > Beside doing TRACE("(%p)", handle) on 64-bit platforms will needlessly > display the always the same presumably zero upper 32-bit part > of the handle. That why I decided to should use > TRACE("(0x%08lx)", (DWORD) handle) instead to avoid such issues. Sorry but this is wrong. Handles are pointers and must be printed as pointers. Assuming that handles are always exactly 32-bit is very shortsighted. > The real reason that we should support compiling Wine with -DSTRICT > is not because handles becomes pointers but because callbacks gets > the correct prototype. No, it's because handles become pointers; you cannot do the -DSTRICT typechecking with integers anyway. Callbacks are a very minor issue; the real point is to fix all incorrect handle manipulations, like implicit 16-bit handle conversions or arithmetic on handle values. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

I know it is a union; I thought it was one of these cases that would get fixed by -DSTRICT, but now I see that it is a slightly different problem.

That's precisely the plan, and it is just the opposite of what you are doing with your patch (you are turning DECLARE_HANDLE back into DECLARE_OLD_HANDLE). Yes you get a number of warnings if you turn -DSTRICT on, most of them should disappear once the conversion is complete; fixing them before that is a waste of time. This is the reason why -DSTRICT is not the default yet. Read bug report #90, Francois explains everything there. And don't forget the number one rule of the -DSTRICT conversion is: *no* *typecasts*. If you have to add typecasts something is wrong. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Alexandre Julliard: > I think GetClipBox is correct, the problem is > that the WM_ERASEBKGND > handler should not be using it, but > GetClientRect. You can try this: Hello Alexandre, thank you for your reccomendation. Unfortunately the DefWindowProc improvement does not help, because the default handler newer gets called in my app. The application (Progress _prowin.exe version 7) uses custom dialog boxes (forms) and also custom controls. The controls handle WM_ERASEBKGND themeselves. I have no access to the sources. What I know about GetClipRect, I know from the trace. I agree that your method (GetClientRect in the handler) is much better, but I cannot use it. I also agree that Windows should return the parent area in GetClipBox as Wine does. Unfortunalelly, the Windows do not do that while the _prowin.exe depends on it. I enclose a simple C example which I hacked to demonstrate this. The example displays two red children in a white parent. The value returned by GetClipBox is wsprintf-ed. If you run the binary in the Windows, you will see two properly sized red rectangles on a white background. If you run the same binary in Wine, you will see only one large red child but no white parent background. If either the CS_PARENTDC or WS_CLIPSIBLINGS gets removed from my example, both Windows and Wine give identical results. Regards Ladislav Sladecek

- FIXME("(%x),stub!\n",hrasconn); + FIXME("(0x%08lx): stub\n", (DWORD) hrasconn); [...] I think I would rather use %p to print handles. After all they are pointers, not integers. The annoying aspect of it is that %08p is not very well supported IIRC. Maybe gcc has been fixed though. I forgot to mention it before.

wine on clusters ??
by Francisco Perez July 28, 2001

July 28, 2001

Hi everybody: Has anybody tried to run wine on a High Availabity cluster ?. Especifically we are interested on a Mosix environment where applications don't need be changed. The windows application to be clustered is a Remote IP network back-up system so no grafic intensive or plug modern like ActiveX and so. Any comments are highly apreciated thanks

I think GetClipBox is correct, the problem is that the WM_ERASEBKGND handler should not be using it, but GetClientRect.

That's where the work is. Yes. I've noticed that and I have fixed a few of them as well. However I'm not optimistic on fixing them all on the short term. The problem is not the number of them, the problem is that some of the warnings like the Global* can't be fixing in the .c files. It involves changing the .h files and that generated even more warnings. :-( I will investigate furher, but as I said, I'm not optimistic.
