[PATCH v6 0/1] MR10343: vbscript: Resolve parser conflicts with %prec and %expect.
by Francis De Brabandere (＠francisdb) April 6, 2026

April 6, 2026

Use %prec LOWER_THAN_ELSE on the empty EndIf_opt rule to explicitly resolve 4 dangling Else / End If shift/reduce conflicts. The remaining 6 conflicts are benign colon-chain ambiguities documented with %expect 6. -- v6: vbscript: Resolve parser conflicts with %prec and %expect. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10343

[PATCH v7 0/1] MR10314: vbscript: Convert string to number for comparison operators.
by Francis De Brabandere (＠francisdb) April 6, 2026

April 6, 2026

When one operand was a string and the other numeric, VBScript should have converted the string to a double before comparing. VarCmp did not do this automatically, resulting in incorrect string comparison.

[PATCH v19 0/1] MR10244: vbscript: Fix Sub first argument parentheses handling.
by Francis De Brabandere (＠francisdb) April 6, 2026

April 6, 2026

Wine-Bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54177 Fix parsing of expressions like `Sub (i - 20) * 8,y` where a space-separated parenthesized expression followed by a binary operator(*` /` \` ^` &`) was incorrectly treated as call argument parentheses instead of expression grouping. If you look at all the extra test cases in `lang.vbs` you will see which parentheses related issues this solves. I have been testing with a repo full of scripts: https://github.com/sverrewl/vpxtable_scripts There are still quite some compiler issues left but this addresses the biggest parser issues. -- v19: vbscript: Fix Sub first argument parentheses handling. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10244

[PATCH v9 0/8] MR10515: Draft: vbscript: Bind local variables, class properties, and loop variables at compile time.
by Francis De Brabandere (＠francisdb) April 6, 2026

April 6, 2026

Resolve identifiers to direct indices during compilation instead of doing runtime `wcsicmp` string scans in `lookup_identifier()`. This adds new opcodes that access local variables, function arguments, class properties, and loop variables by index, eliminating the linear string comparison overhead for the most common cases. **New opcodes:** - `OP_local` / `OP_assign_local` / `OP_set_local` - read/write local vars and args by index - `OP_local_prop` / `OP_assign_local_prop` / `OP_set_local_prop` - read/write class properties by index - `OP_step_local` / `OP_incc_local` - For-loop step/increment with indexed counter - `OP_enumnext_local` - For-Each iteration with indexed loop variable This mirrors jscript's `OP_local` / `bind_local()` optimization (`dlls/jscript/compile.c`) and addresses the FIXME in `lookup_identifier()` noting that class property access should be bound at compile time. Names that cannot be resolved at compile time (globals in Execute/ExecuteGlobal code, dynamic vars, host objects) continue to use the existing string-based path. The last commit also adds a fast path for SAFEARRAY iteration that bypasses the `IEnumVARIANT` COM vtable dispatch and copies elements directly from the array data, eliminating one intermediate `VariantCopy` per iteration. ### Local variable / argument / class property access (1M iterations, 10 reads per iteration) | Benchmark | Windows (VM) | Wine master | Wine (7 commits) | **Speedup** | vs Windows | |-----------|-------------|-------------|-------------------|---------|------------| | Local vars | 156 ms | 10,134 ms | 960 ms | **10.6x** | 6.2x slower | | Arguments | 171 ms | 6,656 ms | 968 ms | **6.9x** | 5.7x slower | | Class props | 265 ms | 6,673 ms | 964 ms | **6.9x** | 3.6x slower | ### For-loop variants (10M iterations) | Benchmark | Windows (VM) | Wine master | Wine (7 commits) | **Speedup** | vs Windows | |-----------|-------------|-------------|-------------------|---------|------------| | Empty For | 117 ms | 6,222 ms | 1,531 ms | **4.1x** | 13x slower | | For + assign | 203 ms | 10,226 ms | 1,710 ms | **6.0x** | 8.4x slower | | Do-While manual | 437 ms | 8,773 ms | 1,820 ms | **4.8x** | 4.2x slower | | For Step 2 | 62 ms | 6,125 ms | 1,527 ms | **4.0x** | 25x slower | | Nested For | 125 ms | 7,742 ms | 1,546 ms | **5.0x** | 12x slower | | For local Sub | 109 ms | 3,062 ms | 1,531 ms | **2.0x** | 14x slower | | For R8 counter | 203 ms | 10,882 ms | 1,492 ms | **7.3x** | 7.4x slower | | For-Each array | 7 ms | 6,339 ms | 58 ms | **109x** | 8.3x slower | The remaining 4-13x gap vs Windows in For-loops is from `VarAdd`/`VarCmp` going through full `VariantChangeTypeEx` machinery (including locale alloc/free per call).

[PATCH v14 0/1] MR10461: vbscript: Implement IDispatch::GetTypeInfo for class instances.
by Francis De Brabandere (＠francisdb) April 6, 2026

April 6, 2026

Implement GetTypeInfo on vbdisp_t (VBScript class instances) by returning an ITypeInfo that reports the class name via GetDocumentation(MEMBERID_NIL) and exposes public methods and properties via GetFuncDesc, GetVarDesc, GetNames, GetIDsOfNames, and GetTypeAttr. This makes TypeName() return the actual class name (e.g. "MyClass") instead of falling back to "Object". This is partially based on previous work by @jsm174 at https://github.com/jsm174/libwinevbs/blob/fbc4d2a17a2da8196d50805f7ae289406… -- v14: vbscript: Implement IDispatch::GetTypeInfo for class instances. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10461

[PATCH v5 0/2] MR10546: vbscript: Use indexed lookup for global functions and variables.
by Francis De Brabandere (＠francisdb) April 6, 2026

April 6, 2026

Replace O(N) linear scans through `global_funcs[]` and `global_vars[]` with O(log N) tree lookups for global function and variable resolution. **Global functions:** Scripts that use `ExecuteGlobal` to dynamically generate functions (e.g. Visual Pinball's GLF framework generates ~1000 functions at startup) hit pathological O(N) scan behavior on every `GetRef` call and `GetDispID` lookup. With this change, `GetRef` dispatch over 1000 functions drops from 503ms to 58ms (**8.7x**), reaching parity with Windows (62ms). | Benchmark (1000 dynamic functions) | Before | After | Speedup | Windows | |-----------|--------|-------|---------|---------| | GetRef varied x100K | 503 ms | 58 ms | **8.7x** | 62 ms | | GetRef loop x200K | 292 ms | 82 ms | **3.6x** | 125 ms | | GetRef cached x200K | 35 ms | 35 ms | 1.0x | 85 ms | | Direct call x200K | 35 ms | 46 ms | ~1.0x | 31 ms | **Global variables:** Profiling a real-world 75K-line Visual Pinball table script with 3000+ global variables (registered via multiple `ExecuteGlobal` calls) shows `lookup_identifier`'s linear scan over `global_vars[]` consuming ~55% of total CPU time. Compile-time binding (`bind_local`) does not help here because it only resolves variables declared within the same compilation unit, variables from prior `ExecuteGlobal` calls remain unbound at runtime. Depends on !10544 for the fast `vbs_wcsicmp` used in the tree comparators. -- v5: vbscript: Use indexed lookup for global variables. vbscript: Use indexed lookup for global functions. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10546

[PATCH v7 0/2] MR10579: vbscript: Identifier improvements
by Francis De Brabandere (＠francisdb) April 6, 2026

April 6, 2026

Windows limits VBScript identifiers to 255 characters, returning error 1030 (Identifier too long) for longer names. Wine previously accepted identifiers of any length. VBScript allows square brackets to quote identifiers containing spaces, special characters, or reserved words. -- v7: vbscript: Support bracketed identifiers like [my var]. vbscript: Reject identifiers longer than 255 characters. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10579
