RFH: div()/ldiv() compatibility
by Dimitrie O. Paun 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

Hi folks, We currently have a bit of a problem with div()/ldiv() (from msvcrt). Namely, they are defined to return a structure of type div_t/ldiv_t respectively. However, on i386, this is returned in windows in the eax/edx registers (the same as a long long). Now, before I go search for the ABI about returning small structures, can someone tell me if there is any way to maintain both source and binary compatibility? -- Dimi.

I am told this is what the Internet Explorer icon looks like after winetests.exe is run. Strange eh? http://vmlinux.org/~jakov/crazy-icon.jpg

vxd deviceiocontrol hmm
by Juan Lang 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

Folks, I'm looking for advice on implementing DeviceIoControl for vnetbios. It's pretty simple, lpvInBuffer is a pointer to an NCB, the only parameter to Netbios(). Trouble is, I implemented Netbios() with some state, all maintained in netapi32.dll. I need to load netapi32.dll, and keep it open as long as the handle to vnetbios is open (if I close netapi32, the state is lost). I could: - use a static HANDLE to netapi32.dll in kernel - store the handle in the server - move all the netbios code to kernel, and use DeviceIoControl to call it from netapi32 Anyone have any suggestions or preferences? Thanks, --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/

More slides - final draft?
by Shachar Shemesh 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

This time, I actually installed a spell checker. Believe it or not. http://www.shemesh.biz/wine holds the PDF and the openoffice of the slides. I'm hoping this is the last draft. You know youv'e stayed up for too long when you start putting stuff into your sig. A huge thanks for everyone for their input. Shachar P.S. Don't complain about "challenges" rolling off the page. That's on purpose. We have lots of challenges :-) -- Shachar Shemesh Open Source integration & consulting Home page & resume - http://www.shemesh.biz/ The opinions expressed in this mail are my own, and do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.

Default printer and patch management
by Mike Hearn 28 Nov '03

28 Nov '03

Hi, I've got a couple of questions tonight: 1) Currently the default printer is read from win.ini - setting this is annoying and doesn't work out of the box. I think it'd make more sense to have it also in the wine configuration, so if no win.ini string is retrieved it'll still work. I have an app here that dies if there is no default printer. Is it acceptable to make a fallback in the registry/config branch? The default would be "Wine Postscript Driver", though I guess we could be clever - enumerate the printers actually installed and pick the first. I don't know enough about printing to say. Huw? 2) The reason I've been so quiet on the winecfg front lately (ignoring university) is because I'm working on porting an app commercially. As a part of that process, I'm generating patches and committing to a private branch. However, I'm not sure how best to manage patch submission. There are a few alternatives: a) Just keep them "secret" until I get paid, at which point I send them in all together. Pros: Simple, Cons: people might duplicate my work. b) Notify the Wine community of what the patches do/are but keep their contents secret. Pros: Less chance of duplication, Cons: if people need the patch, knowing I have one won't be much use and it'd be hard to notify people without spamming the mailing list. Not enough people monitor bugzilla for me to be sure it'd work. c) Post them all to wine-devel but under a license that prevents them being merged unless you get a special exception from me. That way people can see, peer review the patches etc but they don't get committed. Of course, as this is just supposed to be insurance anyway, that seems a bit worthless. d) Say "screw it", submit as usual and just hope I'm dealing with trustworthy people (unfortunately no contract in this case, the job isn't really big enough to warrant one). Does anybody have any experience of this? What is the best approach? thanks -mike

At random the icon cache gets mixed up and suddenly a lot of icons don't match anymore. It is especially bad with Icon Overlays. I use Tortoise CVS, a CVS shell extension, and their newest version has a special command built into their context menu to rebuild the icon cache. I do have some suspicions that Tortoise CVS may be responsible for some of the icon distortion but it happens regularly even when using normal MS applications. Rolf Kalbermatter

BUG: Debug channels get initialized too late

Hello Alexandre, currently debug channels are initialized too late. Due to that debugging with +nls turned on doesn't show traces produced by dlls/kernel/locale.c,LOCALE_Init(). -- Dmitry.

Re: Mysterious icon-change
by Ivan Leo Murray-Smith 27 Nov '03

I get the IE icon to stay the same in quick launch, but all the desktop icons are messed up. For example, I have m$ cart trial installed, and the link to my computer (You don't have it on the desktop in win2k3 so I linked it) has the m$ cart icon, midtown madnesss trial has the icon of starlancer, motocross madness 2 had the icon of age of empires expantion, monster truck madness trial has the icon of age of empires the conquerors, age of empires has the icon of max paynem and the few icons are OK. Now this is a test box where (For a while) I can install/format/break configuration/change OS as much as I like, but someone in a production environment (Or even on a pc used for normal use from time to time) may find this irritating. Apart from this, the directx tests are very impressive. I'm posting the test results to wine-tests-results.
