how to declare COM class?
by Yong Chi 25 Sep '02

25 Sep '02

Hello! I am one of those lurkers who finally decide to write code after many attempts. I declared a COM class best I can from looking at other COM class but I am getting syntax errors. I could not find any guide/manual on COM development. Can someone help or point to a guide on COM development? Thanks in advance...

They just hide bugs, it is almost always the wrong fix (for the listview at least). Alexandre, you can apply the patch, I'll go through the ZeroMemory one more time anyway... -- Dimi.

RFC: Winsock todo's
by Martin Wilck 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

This is a RFC for comments. I may currently be the "offical" winsock maintainer in wine, but I wrote only a very small part of the code. I invite everybody, especially the authors of the other parts of winsock, to comment on these opinions. On Son, 2002-09-22, 18.48 Thomas Wickline wrote: > Can you give me a update on winsock todo's ? > And any other todo that you are aware of .. I have received very few bug reports lately, so I guess the basic Winsock functionality is working. A few important patches went in after the latest CVS snapshot, though. In general, the Winsock implementation in wine has a few parts that look really hackish and would need substantial cleanup. IMO this applies to the async.c file in total, but maybe I am doing injustice to authors of that file. I just find the code is really hard to read. Things like the User-space callbacks in WSAAccept() are impossible to implement correctly because the Unix accept() system call doesn't support callbacks. I do not like the fact that some Winsock1 calls, in particular select(), use direct system calls instead of using related wine APIs, e.g. WaitforMultipleEvents(). Actually if you have sockets with overlapped IO this may cause havoc. Changing this seems to be an average-difficulty task, suitable for contributors with some insight into wine internals. I'd like to see this fixed before 1.0. There are quite a few stubs left in ws2_32.spec. Some of these can probably be implemented easily and would be good work for beginners or casual wine contributors looking for a simple task, e.g. WSADuplicateSocketW(), WSAAddressToString[AW], WSAHtonl(). More unit tests need to be written, also a nice task for people interested in Winsock. Wine has no concept of the Winsock2 "provider" interface. All calls to these functions are either stubs or dummy functions, such as WSAEnumProtocols(). I had a patch for this, but never got it ready for prime-time. It is unrealistic to support a "real" provider interface, allowing (like Windows) to hook new protocol handlers in the network stack, but at least we should pass some realistic information to clients. Should be done for 1.0. There is no such thing as a QOS or socket group concept in wine either, but these seem to be rarely-used features -> post-1.0, if needed at all. Although I had a relevant part in implementing the asynchronous IO in winsock, I am not quite content with it because it is not really asynchronous. Alexandre is against using threads. On Linux at least, Ben LaHaise's asyncio can be expected to become part of the 2.6 kernel series, and if that happens the wine asynchronous IO functionality should be rewritten to use the asyncio API on systems that support it. (I still havent't figured out whether aio will support sockets, though). A non-winsock todo that comes to my mind is support for NT security concepts such as tokens. But that would be a big one and should probably also be postponed after 1.0 Martin -- Martin Wilck Phone: +49 5251 8 15113 Fujitsu Siemens Computers Fax: +49 5251 8 20409 Heinz-Nixdorf-Ring 1 mailto:Martin.Wilck@Fujitsu-Siemens.com D-33106 Paderborn http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/primergy

Using winbind with Wine
by Martin Wilck 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

Hello, There has been a discussion on wine-devel about using winbind for purposes like user authorization, retrieving user and group information, and more. It seemed reasonable to use PAM and NSS for the basic lookups and leave it to the sysadmin to configure these services to use winbind. Winbind offers some more functionality than that, though, such as SID lookups. Continuing along that line, it would be desirable to have a more generic interface than what winbindd currently offers - actually it would be nice to be able to access all RPC calls that samba supports through an interface like winbindd's. * Are there any plans by the Samba team to extend winbindd in this direction? * If no, would the Samba team accept patches from wine developers implementing such extensions to winbindd? * Does winbind support client requests (from the Unix side) where strings are in Unicode format, i.e. could wine pass Unicode strings from Windows applications to windbind directly? * If no, would it be possible to extend winbindd to support this without modifying the samba libraries?

winebootup
by Raul Dias 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

Hi, What happened to winebootup? >From documentation/packaging.sgml: <varlistentry><term><filename>winebootup</filename></term> <listitem> <para> Winelib app to be found in programs/. It'll be called by the winelauncher wine wrapper startup script for every first-time wine invocation. Its purpose is to process all Windows startup autorun mechanisms, such as wininit.ini, win.ini Load=/Run=, registry keys: RenameFiles/Run/RunOnce*/RunServices*, Startup folders. </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> and it not under wine's tree. Does it exist? (or ever did?) Is there something similar to handle RunOnce keys? I just want to avoid doing a duplicated work. []'s Raul Dias

Re: Correct and update executable types in PathIsExe
by Jeff Smith 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

I was just going by what MSDN says. Screensavers (SCR) are just like regular executables with a standard (I believe) command-line arguement interface. I really know next to nothing about SCF files. BTW, my version of Windows (95-OSR-2.1) is so old, it doesn't even have .cmd -- Jeff Smith >From: Alexandre Julliard <julliard(a)winehq.com> >To: "Jeff Smith" <whydoubt(a)hotmail.com> >CC: wine-devel(a)winehq.com >Subject: Re: Correct and update executable types in PathIsExe >Date: 23 Sep 2002 11:13:43 -0700 > >.pif is clearly right, but are you sure about .scr and .scf?
