Re: exec-shield patch take 6

Go Mike! Good to see this work finally turn into a patch against CVS :) On Wed, 2004-04-28 at 19:02 +0900, Mike McCormack wrote: > Description: > > This patch allows platforms using exec-shield patch against the Linux > kernel (eg.

That's only 16mb.... we probably want something like 0x40000000 which reserves a gig of address space.

In effect, rather than repeat the work the kernel already did for everything but the real dynamic linker, insert a small shim between them. Thoughts? thanks -mike

Re: RPCRT4: reimplement UuidCreate() with Win32 APIs (resubmit)
by Juan Lang 28 Apr '04

Alexandre wrote: > I don't think rpcrt4 should depend on iphlpapi, it > doesn't on Windows AFAICS. Right, rpcrt4 precedes iphlpapi. However, iphlpapi was created to allow you to do things that were platform-specific and often undocumented. In this case, rpcrt4 is trying to get the MAC address. On Windows 9x, you used to use WsControl for this, and this calls the appropriate VxD. Wine's WsControl forwards to iphlpapi instead (on Win9x iphlpapi calls WsControl). On Windows NT, you use a DeviceIoControl on the network device driver. Wine doesn't implement any of these. Wine could use ioctl on a UNIX fd, but I doubt this is what Hans wants to do, since he's trying to implement this using Win32. It appears to me that this is the most straightforward way to get the MAC address in Wine (but since I wrote iphlapi, you could count on me saying that ;) ) --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi all! I'm porting a windows application to Linux using the winelib. I created a project with KDevelop and include all ( at least I think all ) the .dll.so needed by my project. After compiling a linker error message appears, saying that /windows/D/ HICOD2000/j2kserver/j2kserver/kdu_server.cpp:2894: undefined reference to `WSAWaitForMultipleEvents' . It happens that I included the ws2_32.dll.so in my project. Am I missing something? TIA -- ______________________ António Serra aserra.wine(a)iol.pt ______________________

Re: Winetest: outstanding issues (USING)
by Dimitrie O. Paun 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

Now for the second installment: USING (Feri) ----------------------- A. winetest Winetest will have to support a new option -B <filename> This will add a new section to the report, just before the test results, called "Build Info". The body of this section will be read from <filename>, with each time indented (say 4 spaces), and a blank line to end it (for neatness). B. Dissect & gather Need only recognize the "Build Info" section as optional, and ignore it for now. Maybe dissect should do that as a rule, ignore sections it doesn't understand. This way we can easily add more data in the future, without needing to constantly patch dissect. Such sections would have all lines indented, and would end with a blank line. BTW Feri, can we indent the body of our current sections? Would that break stuff? It would be nice to, would make the report more readable. We should be more forgiving with the parsing, like HTML is. The idea would be: "we should look only for stuff that we need for the report, additional stuff should be ignored. Moreover, non-essential stuff should be optional, and if not present/parsed, don't display". -- Dimi.

winealsa fails the winmm test
by Francois Gouget 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

I'm not having much luck with sound this week-end :-( First there was the crash in ALSA_WaveInit() (an old bug apparently), but now the winmm test either gets stuck or crashes. When it gets stuck it's because I get: trace:wave:wodUpdatePlayedTotal dwPlayedTotal=21987 dwWrittenTotal=22050 delay=63 trace:wave:wodPlayer_NotifyCompletions still playing 0x4069fd1c (22050/21987) trace:wave:wodPlayer waiting 2ms (7,2) trace:wave:wodUpdatePlayedTotal dwPlayedTotal=21987 dwWrittenTotal=22050 delay=63 ... So the problem is that everything has been played but because snd_pcm_delay() keeps returning 63, dwPlayedTotal never reaches the 22050 that would signal the completion of the first tone. Now it seems like snd_pcm_delay() should return 0 after a while so this looks like an Alsa bug (0.9.6). Is this a known bug? Is there a way to work around it? (besides commenting out the call to snd_pcm_delay()) And when I don't get into the above infinite loop it's because I've crashed before with an Alsa assertion: trace:wave:wodPlayer waiting 7ms (7,4294967295) trace:wave:wodUpdatePlayedTotal dwPlayedTotal=11781 dwWrittenTotal=17184 delay=5403 trace:wave:wodPlayer_WriteMaxFrags Writing wavehdr 0x4069fd1c.17184[22050] trace:wave:wodPlayer_WriteMaxFrags 1065 dwLength=2433 toWrite=110 0010:Call ntdll.RtlAcquireResourceShared(4037c168,00000001) ret=404e0751 0010:Ret ntdll.RtlAcquireResourceShared() retval=00000001 ret=404e0751 0010:Call ntdll.RtlReleaseResource(4037c168) ret=404e08ae 0010:Ret ntdll.RtlReleaseResource() retval=00000000 ret=404e08ae 0010:Call ntdll.RtlTryEnterCriticalSection(40340098) ret=404e0519 0010:Ret ntdll.RtlTryEnterCriticalSection() retval=00000001 ret=404e0519 0010:Call ntdll.RtlTryEnterCriticalSection(40340098) ret=404e0519 0010:Ret ntdll.RtlTryEnterCriticalSection() retval=00000001 ret=404e0519 0010:Call ntdll.RtlTryEnterCriticalSection(40340098) ret=404e0519 0010:Ret ntdll.RtlTryEnterCriticalSection() retval=00000001 ret=404e0519 wine-kthread: pcm.c:5899: snd_pcm_mmap_commit: Assertion `frames <= snd_pcm_mmap_avail(pcm)' failed.

2 Fatal Problems With Winesetuptk-0.73 (BOTH Sourceforge Release Formats)
by Kenny Love 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

In the Bugzilla system, including the search page, there is no mention of Winesetuptk, so I can't tell whether the following bugs are new to you. These two problems are of considerable import to aspiring Wine users, particularly if they are running Red Hat Linux 6.2 or equivalent or older (for the first item, Red Hat Linux 7.x or equivalent might also be affected). 1. The rpm'ed Winesetuptk binary currently posted on the Sourceforge site, winesetuptk-0-73.i586.rpm, aborts on startup on a Red Hat Linux 6.2 system with the message "winesetuptk: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by winesetuptk)". I suspect this means that the binary (maybe the Tcl/Tk/ITcl) is dynamically linked to glibc 2.3, but Red Hat Linux 6.2 can only be easily upgraded to glibc 2.1.3-21; even Red Hat Linux 7.3 easily upgrades only to glibc 2.2.5-44, so this might prohibit most Red Hat Linux installations older than 8.0 from running this binary. 2. The scripts in the Winesetuptk tarball currently posted on the Sourceforge site, /winesetuptk-0-73.tar.bz2, hang. When run "as scripts directly" on a Red Hat Linux 6.2 system with Tcl 8.0.5-35 and ITcl 3.0.1-35 installed, after the program opens a window stating "Autodetection in Progress", an error notice appears stating that map is not a legal argument to the string function ("Error: bad option "map": must be compare, first, index,"...). After the notice's "Ok" button is pressed, the error notice box disappears, but the program quietly hangs, ignoring attempts to close the remaining windows. Bash's kill command, probably unknown to the novice, is required to exit the comatose program. Also, on the launching shell window appears the message "CBase::AutoConf:GetWinInstalls: unable to grep /dos/c/msdos.sys: child process exited abnormally ". My /dos/c/ directory contains my dual-boot Windows 3.1 system. In the tcl8.3.2 subdirectory, the "changes" file lists, between the "8.1 final" and "8.1.1" headers, a "new features" entry dated 5/3/99 mentioning adding Jeff Hobbs' patches introducing, among others, a map argument to the string function. The Sourceforge Winesetuptk-0.73 release note states that at version 0.34b, all was successfully converted from requiring Tcl 8.4 to using Tcl 8.0, so this map call appears to be a small overlooked mouse with a show-stopping roar. I lack Tcl programming experience, but the stack trace (see below) and 'grep'-ing the source tree for potential "string_ map" calls seems to implicate "winesetuptk-0.73/Enable8.0Compatibility.tcl", line 42 as the culprit; it looks like there's no if-clause to handle $aCmd == "map". Here's the stack trace: bad option "map": must be compare, first, index, last, length, match, range, tolower, toupper, trim, trimleft, trimright, wordend, or wordstart while executing "string_ map {{${WinDir}} windows} {${WinDir}/system}" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval string_ $aCmd [list $aStr] $args" (procedure "string" line 26) invoked from within "string map [list {${WinDir}} $WinDir] $SystemDir" (object "::ObjBase" method "::CBase::AutoConf:GetWinInstalls" body line 74) invoked from within "AutoConf:GetWinInstalls $Drives" (object "::ObjBase" method "::CBase::AutoConf" body line 39) invoked from within "$pObjBase AutoConf" ("GEN_NEW" arm line 6) invoked from within "switch [$pObjBase AccessCfgData GET_KEY_VALUE_BY_NAME Cfg WhatToDo] { GEN_NEW { CMsgDialog ObjWaitMsg . .wait_msg "WineSetup" "Autodetection..." (object "::ObjScrFileLoc" method "::CScrFileLoc::SetWineData" body line 2) invoked from within "SetWineData" (object "::ObjScrFileLoc" method "::CScrFileLoc::SetResult" body line 58) invoked from within "::ObjScrFileLoc SetResult NEXT" (in namespace inscope "::CBaseScr" script line 1) invoked from within "namespace inscope ::CBaseScr {::ObjScrFileLoc SetResult NEXT}" invoked from within ".f_scr.b_next invoke" ("uplevel" body line 1) invoked from within "uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]" (procedure "tkButtonUp" line 8) invoked from within "tkButtonUp .f_scr.b_next" (command bound to event) I'm going to try compiling the Winesetuptk-0.73 source from the tarball on my system; hopefully that will produce a >working< binary dynamically linked to glibc 2.1.3-21. Considering that most aspiring Wine users, (Remember: Many, perhaps most of those are new to Linux itself.), are currently steered by the Wine documentation to use the Winesetuptk program with its nice, friendly GUI, those who took the time-honored route of putting a Linux installation from second-hand CD's on an older, expendable PC (which often limits one to a 6.2/7.0 version or less because 2.4 kernels can thrash too much on old hardware to be useful) may be in for a big suprise when they try to graphically configure their wine.conf file. To summarize, the rpm binary release as-is probably won't start for Linux versions older than Red Hat Linux 8.0 or equivalent and the tarball release as-is hangs deviously when run "as scripts directly" on systems with Tcl 8.0, possibly 8.1.0. By the way, that rpm should have refused to install because the program required a higher version glibc than my Linux system possesses, shouldn't it? Thanks! Kenny A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. G. B. Shaw

Alignment testing
by Hans Leidekker 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

Hi, kernel/tests/generated.c currently shows one failure when the executable is compiled with MinGW. Investigation shows that MinGW and GCC differ when it comes to alignment of doubles (i.e. a 64 bit wide type). I have constructed the test below that shows the difference between MinGW and GCC. My question is, could someone compile this with MSVC >= 6, run it, and report the outcome here? Thanks, -Hans

My understanding of this is that in the first case you declare a const pointer and hope that a compiler is smart enough to place a pointed by it object into a read only section, while in the second case you explicitly say to a compiler to place the whole object into a read only section.

That's why I can't have text/plain attachments. Ivan.

Running server and client with wine CVS current returns Hello Implicit RPC World! but I can't test with your patch because it doesn't cleanly apply against the current CVS code. Ivan.

service.cgi: script generation

Currenly we send a script to run and execute all published versions that we have. This is currently problematic, because an error in one causes the abort the entire script. Moreover, releases may no arrive at the server at the same time, and if we're going to receive the poll event in between them, we'll miss some of them. What we need to do is to ask the client to execute one thing at a time. Problem is that we need to keep track of what the client did execute already. Here's a way to do it without storing state on the server side, which is problematic. We need to introduce three new cookies: build_id: the current build ID that we execute. It's going to be something like '200405031000' current: the name of the test that was just executed history: a comma separated list of filenames that where already executed by the client for this current build. It's going to look like so: 'wine-200405031000-paul-mingw.zip,wine-200405031000-kevin-mingw.zip' The algorithm is simple: if $build_id != $current_build_id $build_id = $current_build_id $history = "" else $history = $history . "," . $current $current = pick_next_test($history) # send script to run $current, and to set the values of the # three cookies to the values in our variables where: pick_next_test picks the next test to run from the pool of tests avaiable for our current build, so that it doesn't appear in $history Comments? -- Dimi.

Re: Font selection - please review

Hi Dirk, First of all, thank you for the reference. Regarding the missing flag to TranslateCharsetInfo - My VisualStudio 6 MSDN DVD (Latest that came up for that version - dated October 2001) does not have this flag mentioned. This means either that the flag was not present at that time, or that it was present but they forgot to mention it (has happened to me before). The latest MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/unico…) does mention it, and claims it's available on Windows 2000 (like you said). I guess this is anyone's guess what this means as far as when you can use it. Fortunetly for Wine, we don't care when it was introduced. If Wine has it, we can use it. At least for code written by us, that rule is fine. So, thank you very much for the good advice. Are you a wine user that needs this flag, or did you just happen to see my email when you were investigating a Win32 problem?
