--- Comment #11 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2011-05-02 13:21:02 CDT --- Hello,
--- quote --- The originally reported problem was fixed. All that'll happen here is that the title is going to be changed every time one function is implemented, which isn't useful at all. --- quote ---
If the specific function is implemented, the bug can be closed. If the app still crashes on another unimpl. function, open a new bug, targeting the new function.
--- quote --- "Implement msvcp80.dll" would be a more useful, succinct starter bug, which is clearly the problem. --- quote ---
That would effectively create a meta-bug (whole component/API).
Have a look at Wine bugzilla. Various people created bugs _generically_ targeting msvcp80 either to make Wine "purist" or missing installer deps reasons. Great idea :|
Almost all of them reference overlapping API sets of msvcp80, technically making them duplicates. By targeting specific functions (of a function group, or standalone), these issues can be effectively decoupled/tracked from each other.
There is still no need to file a bug report on each of the missing APIs (due to mscodescan reports). Just file new bugs on demand(!) - when new CRT stuff gets committed and retesting is done.
By making smaller/specific targets, the work of individual people can be tracked better (having smaller work packages) and potential regressions of course.
Regards
