Announcement : SynCE project
by Ludovic LANGE July 18, 2001

July 18, 2001

Hello, First of all sorry for the intrusion, but I think this may be of interest for some of you. SynCE project's ambitious goal is to provide a mean of synchronising handhelds devices with a (desktop) computer. By handheld, we mean any portable / embedded / PDA.... device, that needs to synchronize its data with a less mobile computer. (An exemple would be any PDA/PocketPC running Windows CE, or any PDA running Linux, etc...) The first step of this project is to provide a full (client & server) implementation of Microsoft's RAPI protocol, which is the low-level protocol used in ActiveSync synchronisation. This will allow, when completed : - a Windows CE device to communicate with any (non-Microsoft) computer, - A Linux device to communicate with a Microsoft computer and benefits from the existing tools, - etc, etc... The second step will be to provide a set of tools to synchronize data with 'standard' open or closed source application : Mozilla, KMail, etc.... Right now, the project is in its early, early stages ( we don't even have an alpha release ! ), but yet there are some bits that allow an implementation of the client part of the RAPI protocol, to query informations (registry, filesystem, databases,...) from a WindowsCE device. One tool (DBBackup) allows a full dump of the databases of the device. I won't interfere more with the list, and I invite all people interested to have a look on the project page ( http://www.sourceforge.net/projetcs/synce & http://synce.sourceforge.net ) and to subscribe to the mailing-list. We currently are looking for developper, and for testers having mobile devices still under Windows CE (PDA, PocketPC, etc...) and an unix-like desktop environment. Best regards, Ludovic LANGE

how to add a new language wine?
by jerry.zhang July 18, 2001

July 18, 2001

hello,everyone: I want to add a new language to wine,but I found the document about this is out of date, so,I want to know how to add a new language to the latest version of wine. In additional,I want to know how to define the value of many parameters in the file "/dlls/kernel/nls/youlanguage.nls". Best regards Jerry Zhang Redflag Software Co.

glibc bug mmap/malloc
by Andreas Mohr July 17, 2001

July 17, 2001

[yeah, it's glibc bug time AGAIN] Hello all, I just wanted to let you all know that I found what I believe to be a glibc malloc bug. (yes, this happens even with 2.4.6 and latest Debian glibc 2.2.3-6). This is the only thing I did today, BTW. When Wine loads a very large (129 MB) exe file, it does an mmap() on it. After that it tries to do some malloc()s. That fails, which causes the entirely loading/execution of that file to abort. Thus I did malloc()/free() in a for loop after that 129 MB mmap() to test the problematic behaviour. Output: trace:module:map_image mapped PE file at 0x8051000-0xfc45000 err:virtual:VIRTUAL_CreateView now that the PE file has been mmap() /dev/zero:ed, we do some other malloc()s: malloc of 4 bytes: 0x804d878 malloc of 8 bytes: 0x804d878 malloc of 12 bytes: 0x804d878 malloc of 16 bytes: 0x804d878 malloc of 20 bytes: 0x804db20 <---- (chunk size optimization algorithm) malloc of 24 bytes: 0x804db20 <---- ("") malloc of 28 bytes: 0x804e7f8 <---- ("") malloc of 32 bytes: 0x804e7f8 malloc of 36 bytes: 0x804e7f8 . . . malloc of 10224 bytes: 0x804e7f8 malloc of 10228 bytes: 0x804e7f8 malloc of 10232 bytes: 0x804e7f8 up to 0x8050fef malloc of 10236 bytes: (nil) (0x8050ff3, which probably touches mmap() management headers) malloc of 10240 bytes: (nil) . . . malloc of 131052 bytes: (nil) malloc of 131056 (0x1fff0) bytes: (nil) ... malloc of 131060 bytes: 0x404c2008 malloc of 131064 bytes: 0x404c2008 . . . You can clearly see that malloc() is able to squeeze up to 10232 bytes into the memory range just before the mmap()ed area, but when it gets slightly larger, it is NOT capable of switching to an entirely different memory area, throws its arms up in desperation and simply returns a shabby NULL. It only uses a new memory area in case the values get *much* larger, i.e. at least 131060 bytes. This is a BUG. (IMHO) What else should it be ? I already contacted Ulrich Drepper about it, and I'll hopefully get a positive reply soon. -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Microsoft Windows: Made for the Internet The Internet: Made for Unix

Re: Significant change to WINEPS - please test!

I use a 'latin' language. No unicode for me. I test with the software I use to send this mail. There is a 'preview' feature and I can preview (and print) a mail. This is working fine with current Cvs. If I use your patch, most characters in the mail body, are overlayed, printed scattered in black heaps with small lines all around , strangely evoking some insects. Pretty funny :-) If my description is not clear, I can send you a screen capture. Strangely the page header and footer are still correct, though. Gerard

You can't really use either. The GDI one requires calling DC_GetDCPtr which you cannot do from outside GDI, and the USER one requires a reference to a global variable that isn't visible outside USER. A possible way is to use the Escape function and add a few x11drv-specific escape codes. But first it would probably be a good thing to check how opengl32 is implemented under Windows; I have no idea how it works, but it probably needs some way to communicate with the graphics driver, and we could use the same mechanism. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

But as I could not fix > this problem, I prefered going 'around' the problem :-) The dependencies between x11drv and user should certainly be fixed, but the real problem is that opengl32 and ddraw import x11drv at all. x11drv is an internal driver and should never be imported by any dll. Anybody feeling like fixing that? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

using cvs diff
by Bill Medland July 17, 2001

July 17, 2001

I can't see it in TFM I thought I was keeping an eye on what patches had actually been applied to the wine source (especially to see if mine had) by using "cvs diff wine". It seemed to be working but I now realise it wasn't. I guess it was diffing my local code against the corresponding revisions. How do I diff my current set of code against the current cvs? Bill

ChangeDisplaySettings
by Travis Michielsen July 17, 2001

July 17, 2001

Hi, I was planning on implementing ChangeDisplaySettingsA soon but I'm not certain on how to do it. I have been browsing the source tree and was following the methods used by DirectDraw and was considering a similar approach. While I was browsing the source, I was eventually lead to dlls/x11drv/xvidmode.c which contains most of the functions that I will probably need. But I still have a few concerns: 1) Is the x11drv used for ddraw AND the gdi or just one? 2) what is the best way to query if the video exists? without knowing syncs? 3) and if i need to know syncs how do I find them? Another question I have is about pixel depth. From what I understand, it is imposible to change the pixel format of the screen while X is running. However, it is possible to start more than one X server with different configs (and depth) which we could use if we have to but probably not a good idea. Of course another posibility is to emulate the pixel depth, but that would probably cause performance problems, especially when used by games. Anyone have any suggestions or should we just leave changing depths as unimplemented? Thanks! - Travis Michielsen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
