There are applications testing the version number of the common controls - tons of them : all the apps written with modern Borland tools. Their behaviour change accordingly because Ms changed things quite a lot with 4.72. Wine does not emulate the old behaviour, so it's needed to return a recent version number to get some apps to work correctly. Unless the version number of winsock.dll, richedit.dll, version.dll, or unrelated dlls like that is always identical to the version number of common controls ? I did not check but that seems unlikely. >1. I believe that version numbers should be equal in both numerical field and >in the string value (0.01 != 4.72 and 1.00 != 4.72). >2.

I did not search far enough, I used the file in commdlg as an example :-) I found another problem you missed btw, there is a special function to retrieve the dll version directly, it returns hard coded values; I'll add code to retrieve these from the resource.

I have noticed a couple of crashes at controls/menu.c 872 since I applied this - when I fatfinger something in the wm (icewm) and keyboard input gets directed to a different window, but the event comes to wine, I think, but I haven't looked into it too closely and I'm not sure I can reproduce it. /* If we get here, then it must be a text item */ if (IS_STRING_ITEM( lpitem->fType )) { SIZE size; GetTextExtentPoint32W(hdc, lpitem->text, strlenW(lpitem->text), &size); and in this case lpitem is NULL and the strlen crashes. Would you be interested to see traces if I can reproduce it (if so which traces)? I think maybe it is a wm bug, but maybe wine should protect itself if it is not too expensive to do so?

Re: Eliminate excessive retries in GetFileVersionInfo(Size)
by lawson_whitney＠juno.com March 16, 2001

March 16, 2001

Good day! Maybe it takes a Man from Mars to think that a windose function might ought to sort of do what its name implies, but the more I think about it, wouldn't it be simpler? It is right and proper for the functions of oleaut32.dll to be performed by liboleaut32.so and friends (if the Wine administrator so directs), but if the app asks for the version info for oleaut32.dll, and the named file exists (because the app's installer _put_ that file there, in this case) how about we give it the version info from that bloody file? If the file doesn't exist, we give it a builtin construct, say. IOW, disconnect file version from dll. I don't think it is any business of the app what does its work, so I don't see why it should be able to tell by GetFileVersionInfo whether the working blah.dll is builtin or native. I guess you could make a case for a [VersionOverrides] section in the config, but I am not going to. That way lies madness. I would be willing to take a shot at writing the code if that's what we decide we want, and if no one is in a great hurry for it, but...

Here we go again. This breaks my app (juno 2.0.11) with builtin ole32/oleaut32. Native ole32/oleaut32 are so full of deadbeef they sort of stink. I guess we don't need to panic yet. I can revert it locally until so I can get and send mail until I see if I (or someone) can make some builtin version resources that will satisfy this app. It installs its own oleaut32.dll and with this patch in it thinks the install is busted.

I mean that the code that would have been in the dll and loaded into Wine should be in the debugger instead. So for instance, instead of having a magic key (or X message) to switch tracing on, you'd have a debugger command 'set tracing on' that would poke into the Wine address space to do it. Since you can read/write memory, call functions (I think it's broken now but should be easy to fix), etc. from the debugger you can do everything from here and avoid the need to have any debugging code running inside the Wine process. > This would bypass the objection of intercepting a key, like F12, and > using it to generate a window list dump, and replace it with a > mechanism that uses the debugger own builtin functions to do that. Yes, exactly. > I think it is desirable to use as much of the existing debugger > functionality as possible, and to add an "elaborate mechanism in the > debugger" that allows it to be dynamically extended in > functionality. It would certainly be possible to load dlls inside the debugger itself to extend it; though maybe simply loading a batch file containing debugger commands may allow to do a lot of things already without requiring compiling new code. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

If not, it should be changed for ALL dlls in ONE place. Besides that: 1. I believe that version numbers should be equal in both numerical field and in the string value (0.01 != 4.72 and 1.00 != 4.72). 2.

What you should rather do IMO is to put your dll inside the debugger, and have the debugger drive Wine instead of the other way around. Then you can add all kinds of elaborate mechanisms in the debugger, and do anything you want without needing any cooperation from the running Wine process. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
