The cast is wrong, we should do a copy there. CreateProcess takes a char*, not a const char*. Casting off the const and relying on CreateProcess to not modify the string is broken. Even better would be to convert the string to Unicode and call CreateProcessW; this would avoid a copy (well, right now it will cost an extra copy, but that's because CreateProcess should be fixed to do everything in Unicode). -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Wine for OS X?
by Tyler Vano 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Hi All, I'm new to this list (and to Wine itself) but was wondering, is there a project in the works to port Wine to Mac OS X (www.apple.com/macosx)? OS X *is* based on FreeBSD (albeit with a bunch of new fluff for compatibility & aqua), so a port shouldn't be that difficult. (650,000 lines of code and the guy says it 'shouldn't be difficult.') Personally, I think the eventually payoff would be well worth it. You'd get the entire community of ecstatic Mac users, drunk with the power of being able to run Windows apps directly on their Macs (without VPC.) Just like Linux/Unix, Apple's custom Mach3 kernel (aka Darwin) is Open Sourced. Just curious. - Tyler www.creysoft.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Well, actually since the Wine license is GPL compatible that is not a problem either. The problem is that some 3rd party might use Winelib for an application that has non-GPL compatible license.

As far as the Wine source code is concerned the debate as over as it can be without a real court case. The Wine license is GPL compatible so saying that the Wine source code violates the GPL is ridiculous. So what you have to claim is that the Wine source code facillitates others to violate the GPL. This is ridicioulous too for other reasons, foremost because none of requirements of contributary or vicarious (sp?) is even remotely fullfilled. As far as the binaries are concerned, well, the Wine project itself doesn't distribute binaries so it doesn't matter as far as the project is concerned. OK it links to others binaries but claiming liabillity for that is ridiculos too. So far the Wine project. As for other people, well no one really knows since there are very few (if any) relevant court cases on the subject. However consider this, that is actually not a hypotetical situation at all. Even if it is, it still illustrates an example. IIRC when Corel ported Corel Office it used some sort of font rendering library made by Bitstream IIRC. The library cost money to use, but the use of library was optional. If you had it was used if not you didn't get as good fonts as otherwise. So does Corel Office violate Bitstream's copyright? Obviously not, no sane court would claim that and beside Bitstream haven't and won't sue because they benefit from the sitution since now consumers has one more reason to buy their product. Beside that will make it a much harder for them to show damages since their are none. That covers pretty much the use of all normal commersial libraries. In short they have no reason to sue and no chance of success either. Now enter the GPL. The problem is that GPL has an entirely different goal than normal commersial licenses. The commersial library developers wants as many users as possible since each legal user pays money for their product and even illegal users might help them to make the library more widely spread and more of a defacto standard that will likely generate more users (both legal and illegal) in the long run. Note that they normaly don't care what license any user of library distributes his code under either. In short they don't make any difference between different users as long as they are paid. The copyright holder a GPL:ed library on the other hand have no intrest in that software under non-GPL compatible licenses uses their library. This is a fundmental difference. On the other hand the GPL is a distribution not a use license. Paradox? :-) I could speak about this much longer but the point what is legal or what is not is entirely dependent on: 1. Is the GPL is virus that can infect users of the code? 2. If it is a virus, to what extent does the infection spread. Put is another way: GPL:ed libraries discriminates again different kinds of users (developers and end user). The commersial libraries does not normaly do that. Whether and how far copyright law permits this is IMHO one of the most fundamental unresolved questions for open source software development. Even worse. Note that a ruling a _either_ direction have enormous implications for the future of open source software so keep that in mind. "United we stand, divided we fall." Another small note if you are less hostile to the GPL you could say that the GPL is not a virus it is a contract. However all copyright is a contract between the author and society question what contract takes predence is still revelant and unresolved. However if you see the problem with Wine project use of GPL:ed for a contract perspective you could in addition argue that you never have accepted the contract since you didn't have to since you didn't redistribute or modify the library and claim Wine and derived work of the library is rediculous. > > Anyway, unless or until Alexandre changes his mind, I think that > > you should submit all general code that needn't use a specific > > library and distribute that rest as a patch.

Use of all normal commersial libraries are "legal" as shown above, at least if you only distribute your Winelib application. Only the GPL and similar viral license can be a problem. > But has anyone considered the following: > -Writing code that interfaces with either OpenSSL or > libgcrypt depending on > what the USER (or any winelib developer) requires AND has > installed on their > system.

It is a crude hack but it works (sort of at least). And yes, function_grep.pl will be part of the winapi suite eventually but probably not in the next few months, but you never know. > I think he's the best suited for the > fix... ;-) Indeed. Here is a working fix I think (not tested). I found a bug in winapi_check a while ago but the fix didn't find its way the function_grep.pl it seems. The problem might also be that there is whitespace after on of the \:es. This is forbidden by ANSI C but most compilers accept it anyway. Hmm. Thinking, modifying etc. What about this?

In any case, the line is even blurrier with wine, > since wine itself isn't part of the OS -- so someone wanting to port a > GPL'd windows app [for the sake of argument let's pretend that some > exist ;-)] to Linux using winelib might have issues. This issue has been discussed before (see mailing list archive). I think that the general consensus is that the GPL certainly could be interpreted (and indeed likely to be interpreted by a court) as not covering such cases as above, especially since the GPL obviously do not cover a GPL:ed application on Windows it would be ridiculous to make it legal distribute Wine and a Windows binary but not Winelib and make it illegal to do that with a Linux binary that dynamicly links to whatever version of Winelib installed of the system. The fact that a version of Winelib might exist that links to a GPL:ed library is a ridiculous ground for an court case. You might as well argue that distribution of any Windows binary is illegal since somebody might run it on a illegal (pirated) version of Windows. Beside the GPL doesn't cover use, only distribution, so if the user would install a Winelib that uses a GPL library that would be completely legal as far as that user would be concern despite the fact that he has a non-GPL:ed application that uses Winelib. That would effectively close any "have no legal uses" argument eventhough that argument is ridiculous regardless of this since even though no non-GPL:ed Wine implementation of CryptoAPI currently exists the application might be used with limited functionality until such time or that matter use the real ADVAPI.DLL from a legally bought copy of Windows instead. Beside I don't think any copyright holder of a GPL library would dare sue the Wine project or any user of Winelib, even disregarding their non existing chances of success, because of PR reason. However Alexandre has clearly expressed that he doesn't want Wine to be a legal test bed, if not primarily for the legal issues, so because he doesn't want an unsuspecting company using Winelib be "cruficed" on Slashdot or wherever for alleged GPL violation. :-) While I, in some meaning, agree, I do not believe that we should refrain from doing so because of fear of what might never be. Obviously we should turn off the use of any GPL:ed library by default. Anyway, unless or until Alexandre changes his mind, I think that you should submit all general code that needn't use a specific library and distribute that rest as a patch. Preferable so that Winelib could dynamically load it so it could be distributed seperately in binary form as well.

Problem with specmaker
by Guy L. Albertelli 06 Sep '01

06 Sep '01

Recently had a problem with specmaker not generating prototypes. Traced it down to a problem in function_grep.pl. If the following lines are in a .h file, no prototypes after them are recognized. Removing the lines from the .h file allows the prototype to be generated: #define IShellIcon_METHODS \ ICOM_METHOD3(HRESULT, GetIconOf, \ LPCITEMIDLIST,pidl, UINT,flags, LPINT,lpIconIndex) I suspect that the preprocessor elimination did not expect multiline condition. I don't know perl so I cann't fix it. Thanks, Guy Albertelli <<galberte(a)neo.lrun.com>>

Pavel Machek suggested GPLing the netwarefs tools, or no one would be able to use the source. Jeff replied, "I will cross mount the manos server to the FTP server this evening. This server has all of the source code for the entire TRG archive. I'll put all of it up this evening. It will be mounted off of /archive in the ftp home area. It also contains all of the Microsoft source code for all of our W2K file systems work. If it's helpful to anyone, they are welcome to it." Pavel reiterated, "Putting it off /archive is not enough, it does not make it GPLed. Those tools that are usefull should be marked with GPL so it is *legal* to use them.

Bugs involving returning strings from API functions
by Justin Santa Barbara 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

There are a group of functions in the kernel that appear to be broken in that they don't follow the Windows API specification. The general convention for these functions is as follows: The function is called with a pointer to a buffer and the size of the buffer, and returns the number of characters copied to the buffer, excluding the null terminator, unless the buffer is too small when the total size in characters of the buffer needed (with a null terminator) is returned. If the buffer is too small, the string is not copied at all. Several functions that I have spotted don't implement this correctly - particularly ones in files/directory.c. eg GetSystemDirectory. They count the Null Terminator. A typical symptom of this is that an installation program attempts to call LoadLibrary on "C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM", because it's appended eg "OLE32.DLL" after the null character. This is one of the problems when installing the Microsoft installer, for example. While looking for other functions that might do the same thing, I came across this: /*********************************************************************** * GetCurrentDirectoryW (KERNEL32.@) */ UINT WINAPI GetCurrentDirectoryW( UINT buflen, LPWSTR buf ) { LPSTR xpath = HeapAlloc( GetProcessHeap(), 0, buflen+1 ); UINT ret = GetCurrentDirectoryA( buflen, xpath ); if (ret < buflen) ret = MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP, 0, xpath, -1, buf, buflen ) - 1; HeapFree( GetProcessHeap(), 0, xpath ); return ret; } But HeapAlloc takes a number of bytes, whereas buflen is in (two-byte) characters. ie a small buffer would appear to crash this code. (right?) While I have succesfully patched these bugs on my machine, I'm not sure that going through and looking for every function that may be broken in some similar way and changing them one-by-one is a good way to proceed. These bugs all have to do with returning strings - it would probably be better to attempt to have functions that 'copy out an ANSI string' or 'copy out a UNICODE string' according to this API. Without meaning to be critical, the problem appears to be that the same functionality has been written many times throughout the code, and so multiple and different bugs have crept in. However, I'm quite new to using wine, and so would like the advice and opinions of those more experienced. My questions: 1) Is there a design reason why a single common function for string copying is not used? Maybe something to do with separate libraries, some of which may be replaced by native windows DLLs? Maybe someone more knowledgeable than myself could direct me as to the best place to put the helper function implementations. 2) Would writing these string helper functions and changing (most) string-returning functions to use them be worthwhile (or indeed even welcome)? 3) Is there a move to using UNICODE internally in the kernel that means that this would be best combined with some other effort? Certainly if this were an eventual design goal then using helper functions would make that job a little easier. Comments? Justin SB

CryptoAPI
by Travis Michielsen 04 Sep '01

04 Sep '01

Hi, I was going to start implementing the Cypto API (in advapi32.dll) over the next few weeks. As of yet these functions are no more than stubs. However, I am finding increased use of this API as more applications becomed networkable and relying more heavily on internet connections. I was hoping to implement these functions by using the OpenSSL library (if/when available). This library seems to have similar capabilities. One of my concerns is about legal issues. What special concerns should I note about cryptographic software? Are there any special copyright issues I should be aware of? Another question is about design. M$ seems to split the cryptographic software into different dlls (rsabase.dll, rsasig.dll, dssbase.dll, etc.). Should I do this as well so that, applications can use the native dlls if necessary or should I simply implement it entirely though advapi32.dll which and avoid the need to create several new (and very small) dlls under wine? Because most of the code is already in another library (OpenSSL) creating extra dlls seems abit unnecessary. - Travis _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

by Francois Gouget 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

Hi, Some time ago I realized that the command line handling in Wine did not work properly when arguments with spaces or double-quotes are involved. For instance I would start a Wine application like this: main "a b" c and it would tell me something like this: GetCommandLine=[./main a b c] Or I would call CreateProcess(... "main \"a b\" c" ...) and main would get: main -> argc=4 0 [./main] 1 [a] 2 [b] 3 [c] So I investigated this and found that * double-quotes, '"', have the same meaning in win32 as in unix (tested on Win95 & Win2000) * backslash, '\', work as on unix, especially wrt double-quotes * single-quotes, ''', have no special meaning So CreateProcess(... "main \"a b\" c" ...) should give me: GetCommandLine=[./main "a b" c] main -> argc=3 0 [./main] 1 [a b] 2 [c] I searched for places where we convert command lines to argv lists and reciprocally and modified them to work as on windows. With this patch things should be correct, whether you call a Wine application from Unix, from another Wine application via CreateProcess, or if you call a Unix application from Wine. There's just one little bit in the msvcrt code which I treated in a separate patch (p20010902-cmdline2.diff). In the process I wrote a few test applications: * hello regular hello world unix app * main A Wine console application which dumps its argc/argv and then calls GetCommandLine, ... You can also call it with a '-i' parameter to test CommandLineToArgvW, except that _getws is not implemented in Wine so you can only do that on windows * winmain A Wine Gui application which dumps lpCmdLine and then calls __getmainargs, CommandLineToArgvW(GetCommandLineW), ... * createp Which reads a command line from stdin and calls CreateProcess with it * spawnv Reads a list of arguments from stdin and calls spawnv with it (spawn* don't handle ' ' and '"', see p20010902-cmdline3.diff) * spawn Same but the command is fixed I know that there has been discussions about the command line handling before and that some applications do very weird things. Please test this patch and let me know how it goes. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ If it stinks, it's chemistry. If it moves, it's biology.

Hmm. Searching for BOUND_IMPORT with google yields two links: http://www.radsoft.net/gallery/bv/ http://members.internettrash.com/astalalista/ac/pe_tut2.html plus one hit on groups.google.com (a guy doing a minimal hello_world.exe mentioned it).

Race condition?

Good day! My app just crashed, after I logged in and dismissed its modal nuisance ad. Normally it doesn't, so I guess this might be some kind of race condition?

Re: wine-devel digest, Vol 1 #445 - 9 msgs
by Robert Lunnon 30 Aug '01

Attempt 2 :-) I am trying to get winsock to work under Solaris and need a little help. When connecting, the call to connect doesn't generate a syn packet as expected, The problem appears to be WSOCK32_socket, where the type of socket is passed as type 1 for a tcp service, as it turns out the Solaris header file defines SOCK_STREAM as 2 and SOCK_DGRAM as 1 which makes the subsequent call to connect succeed without establishing a connection because a UDP endpoint was created instead of a tcp one. Now to find out where SOCK_STREAM is getting defined as 1 :-/ I probably need to check the standard function calls between a solaris binary and a windows one so does someone have a simple test program and a unix source (IE windows binary with unix compatible source code) that I can use to compare behaviours between the two environments ? Thanks Bob

Mouse Events

G'day all, Maiden post. Please be gentle.. I had a problem using wine with a touchscreen under XFree 4.0.2. With the help of Gerard Patel and Ove Kaaven I have come up with a patch that solves my problem, and does not appear to disrupt any of the other machines and programs I use. I have looked at several ways of achieving this, and this seems to be the least messy. This has been tested with both the touchscreen and also ps/2 mouse and works well with both. I'm not a C programmer at all, and have little experience with the WINE code. All comments both positive and negative appreciated.. Thanks..

Comment from IBM developer re FS register corruption
by Jeremy White 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

At LinuxWorld today, a couple of developers from IBM stopped by and mentioned a patch that they recently sent to Linus (which he accepted with dismay at such a long standing bug, and apparently committed to the 2.4.8 tree). Sadly, I have forgotten the woman's name, but she indicated that there was a race condition that could sometimes cause the fs register to become corrupt, and that this problem had existing in all versions of Linux, as far as they could tell. She indicated that the patch had a fairly innocuous description, but it might be worth understanding this problem better (although from her description, it didn't sound like a good workaround was available). Cheers, Jeremy p.s. Wine was a finalist for best open source project, but lost out to KDE. Next time, the crystal plaque is ours. I can feel it.

Powerdvd running under linux
by Robert Lowery 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hi I have a graphics card with an SIS6326 chipset. Under Windows 98 (using PowerDVD), I get fantastic performance on my Pention 233MMX as it supports YUV->RGB, Motion Compensation and iDCT in hardware. This chipset is not currently supported under Linux. What do you think the chances are of PowerDVD working with hardware acceleration under WINE/WINEX? What sort of performance should I expect? Please cc replies to my email, as I am not subscribed Thank-you for your help -Robert

./configure file in cvs
by Gioele Barabucci 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

Hello everyone, why is there a ./configure file in your cvs? configure was meant to be created for endusers, not for developers. Many projects based on auto* tools create a ./autogen.sh or ./bootstrap script. The fact is that the configure supplied (and all the auto* files) creates lot of confusion and some errors sometime. simple as: #!/bin/sh # rm -f configure ltmain.sh config.guess config.sub echo "Running libtoolize..." libtoolize --force --copy >/dev/null echo "Running aclocal..." aclocal $ACLOCAL_FLAGS echo "Running autoheader..." $use_autoheader echo "Running autoconf..." $use_autoconf echo "Running automake..." automake --add-missing --copy --foreign -- Gioele Barabucci (Gb]) <gioeleb(a)tiscalinet.it>
