[Bug 43190] New: Inconsistent behavior when removing dll overrides

Bug ID: 43190
           Summary: Inconsistent behavior when removing dll overrides
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.10
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]

      Distribution: ---

Found when debugging Bug 43180, look there for a download link.

I have a game that needs a lot of dll overrides.
Now, I was used to the fact that removing a dll override tells wine to use the
builtin dll. In the case of d3drm, it doesn't though.
I tested it like this:
> game crashes due to broken directmusic

winetricks gmdls directmusic
> game crashes due to broken d3drm

winetricks d3drm
> game works now

winecfg -> remove d3drm dll override
> game still works (why?)

winecfg -> remove directmusic dll overrides
> game crashes due to broken directmusic

Note that when I set d3drm to builtin instead of removing the dll override, it
crashes like expected.

I assume it shouldn't load the native dll without override, but I didn't really
find documentation on that.

Native d3drm.dll is preferred. See DllMain() in dlls/d3drm/d3drm_main.c

I see. What's the reason behind this exception?

Generally it means that the builtin library isn't quite feature complete or
otherwise up to the task.

There are more that do the same (e.g. d3dx9, d3dcompiler, dmusic, ...) and
ideally they would switch to preferring builtin when they become good enough.
