interrupts in when in NT version
by Zsolt Rizsanyi 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

Hi! I have Laurent Pinchart's safedisc patch applied and working for a while now. (and it works perfectly). But the recent interrupt changes tend to cause cvs conflicts and to break it. This patch is supposed to work only if winver is nt40 so very probably this applies only to NT. What the patch relies on is that the interrupt handling code (which was INSTR_EmulateInstruction before the changes), return EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION if interrupt 0x01 is called (if I understand it correctly). This was done with the next patches: Index: dlls/ntdll/signal_i386.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/wine/wine/dlls/ntdll/signal_i386.c,v retrieving revision 1.46 diff -u -p -r1.46 signal_i386.c --- dlls/ntdll/signal_i386.c 12 Sep 2002 22:07:03 -0000 1.46 +++ dlls/ntdll/signal_i386.c 24 Oct 2002 10:13:36 -0000 @@ -729,6 +729,7 @@ static void do_segv( CONTEXT *context, i { EXCEPTION_RECORD rec; DWORD page_fault_code = EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION; + DWORD priv_instr_code = EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION; #ifdef CR2_sig /* we want the page-fault case to be fast */ @@ -758,8 +759,8 @@ static void do_segv( CONTEXT *context, i case T_SEGNPFLT: /* Segment not present exception */ case T_PROTFLT: /* General protection fault */ case T_UNKNOWN: /* Unknown fault code */ - if (INSTR_EmulateInstruction( context )) return; - rec.ExceptionCode = EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION; + if (INSTR_EmulateInstruction( context, &priv_instr_code )) return; + rec.ExceptionCode = priv_instr_code; break; case T_PAGEFLT: /* Page fault */ #ifdef CR2_sig Index: memory/instr.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/wine/wine/memory/instr.c,v retrieving revision 1.19 diff -u -p -r1.19 instr.c --- memory/instr.c 23 Oct 2002 22:24:10 -0000 1.19 +++ memory/instr.c 24 Oct 2002 10:14:08 -0000 @@ -397,7 +397,7 @@ static void INSTR_outport( WORD port, in * * Emulate a privileged instruction.

This was good when interrupts from 32-bit code were not supported. But now we need a special case for this. I think that on NT calling 0x01 is forbidden. But I have not tested this (and will not, because I dont have windows devel tools - I just want to run my Longman Dictionary :) I would like if this could be fixed properly and that would work with the safedisk patch, if thats possible. Thanks Zsolt

Could it be possible to overcome all problems mentioned just by simply adding jack-support to the wine-server? Then someone could make a simple windows-program for chaining directx and vst plug-ins.

How can an app detect it's running under WINE?
by Alberto Massari 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

Hi everybody, I am working on making our software (Stylus Studio, http://www.stylusstudio.com) run under WINE, if this is feasible. To achieve this, I have already implemented a bunch of APIs (the application is built against the UNICODE version of the Win32 APIs) and fixed some bugs I hit (I already mailed the first patch to wine-patches(a)winehq.com). However, I would feel better if I could detect I am running under WINE and gracefully disable some functionalities that are not yet fully supported; is there any way to achieve this? Is there a WIN32 API (like, say, GetVersionEx) that can return a string like "Windows 2000 (WINE)" or is WINE trying to be as stealth as possible? Thanks in advance, Alberto ------------------------------- Alberto Massari eXcelon Corp. http://www.StylusStudio.com

No and IMHO there is no reason to have an offical way at all. > This problem appears with each application, ported > with Wine and isn't going to go away even when Wine > will correctly implement all Windows api ;-) If Wine implement every Windows API, why do you care whether you are running under Wine at all? Your application works as good as it does under Windows. Period. Of course you might better intergration with X Windows, printing or whatever to make your application work EVEN BETTER under Wine. :-) Then you have two choice: 1. Recompile your application using Winelib and use Unix API's 2. Under Windows, link with and use some "Wine extension" DLL that are just in many cases "return FALSE; SetLastError(ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)" on Windows but are implemented on Unix (or some Unixes). Sure (2) currently doesn't exist yet. However it wouldn't be very difficult to do it, if there is need. But no these functions are not for detecting Wine they are for tighter intergration with the underlying "OS" like X Windows, printing or whatever. However this is IMHO far beyond 1.0, so don't hold your breath. But sure if you can name some "Wine extension" API we REALLY need we might do it sooner... PS. Theoretically, the "Wine extensions" DLLs might be implementated on some future version Windows as well and it would be quite ironical if Microsoft did in the future. :-)

I'm sorry I asked this here, but the only help I got from the FAQ was: ------ Q: How can I detect Wine? A: You really shouldn't want to do this. If there's a quirk in Wine you need to work around, it's *much* better to fix it in Wine (after all you're a developer, so you should be able to gather enough help and knowledge to fix it for real). If you think you really want to know how to detect it anyway (maybe in order to just have a cool "running on Wine" status text or so), then please mail me.

Oh sure, you CAN detect Wine if you want, the point is that the Wine project reserves the right to change any behavior at any time for any reason, but most often in order to try to make some application more compatible with Windows. If this breaks your Wine detection, tough. We will not change back because of you. So that is why there is no OFFICAL way to detect Wine, simple because if where was an offical way people could quite reasonable complain if some change to Wine broke their detection. However since there are no offical way, they can't complain can they? :-)

Whats done? not?
by Christensen Tom 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

Obviously wine is still being actively developed, and I know its not close to "done" however, I want to get involved, I know C/C++ and have a pretty good grasp of windows apis, I'm just wondering is there a place (kinda like in the Mono project they have a tree laid out with all of the classes/functions that are in the .NET runtime, and they have them marked done, being worked on, not started...) So I'm wondering if wine has anything similar? or should i just pick a function, and see if its done already by searching through the source? At any rate, wine should have a nice concise place to look and see if wine has certain functions implimented.. Tom _________________________________________________________________ Broadband?
