[Bug 30634] New: SymInitialize process handle instead of process id in W9x mode

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30634

Bug #: 30634
           Summary: SymInitialize process handle instead of process id in
                    W9x mode
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.32
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: dbghelp
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

The wine dbghelp SymInitialize functions only works, when the process handle is
passed to it, even in Windows 9x compatibility mode.

But the (old) Platform SDK says explicitely:

hProcess 
[in] Handle to the process for which symbols are to be maintained. If the
application is a debugger, use the process handle for the object being
debugged, otherwise use the GetCurrentProcess function to obtain the process
handle. 
**Windows 95/98/Me**: Use the process identifier, not the process handle.

(and it seems to be implemented that way)

Is there an application that depends on this?

Not yet, but I'm writing one.

If it crashes on Windows, it should print its own backtrace. 
And it is faster to cross compile it and test it with WINE, than to compile in
a VM.

(by the way there is an other problem that it either prints the correct
addresses or the correct symbols, but not both; but I don't know yet, if it is
your fault or mine )

Unless you are writing an app that requires win9x, there's nothing to fix here.
Our goal is not to support win9x beyond the strict minimum required to run apps
that can't run in a different mode.
