ToDo's
by Thomas Wickline 25 Sep '02

25 Sep '02

Thanks to everyone who has gave feedback on this. Here is a draft of eveything up to today. As always in need of feedback ;) Tom Wine ToDo's as of 9/25/02 Contact : twickline2(a)triad.rr.com Wine ToDo OverView Window management: * Window management needs proper inter-process handling of activation, focus, repaint. National Language Support: * ASCII function work Winsock: * Winsock1 calls,in particular select(),use direct system calls instead of using related wine APIs * More unit tests need to be written * Make sure OOB data is handled properly. Check client-size blocking. * WS2: "provider" interface * WS2: Support other kind of services, like IrDA. * Fix stubs left in ws2_32.spec. DirectSound: * Make the latency configurable (tunable). * More intelligent prebuffering. * Complete support for hardware secondary buffers through the HAL (for a future ALSA multimedia wave audio driver). * 3D sound buffers. * Sound capture (recording). Sound drivers: * Alsa driver (on final 0.9 interface) Video: * Implement native codecs (RLE...) * DIB engine to do 32-bit graphics manipulation DDE: * Enhance memory management issues (interprocess sending) Wineconsole: * Add a (n)curse backend so that we can run CUI programs without using USER32 (and X11 behind) Native programs: * Winhelp: fix invocation thru WinHelp * Winedbg: make winedbg use dbghelp DLL File management: * Implement NT file namespace * UNC support * Allow flexibility in FS "mounting" (for example, SMB shares) TrueType fonts: * Libfontconfig support Tools: * Wine installation process should install and configure wine * Winemaker fixes * Run C regression tests on Windows with MSVC * Compile Wine with -DSTRICT * Work on WRC as it does not find system headers Instructions: * Write a proper Users Guide Introduction * Documentation updates Aspect or Component: * More DLL Separation * BiDi support * Review of Wine Server Protocol * Finalize Server Protocol * PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) * Visual C++'s native COM support * Add DWARF2 support * Speed up PDB support * Create replacement of browser component (Internet Explorer/I Porting issues for Mingw/Cygwin/MS_VC * Better seperation of win16/32 code. * Remove/rewite win16/9x api dependancy on newer code * Remove/rewrite wineisms from code * Documentation fixes low priority items: * VxD support with dynamic loading Add links to: Tasklets: http://bugs.winehq.com/buglist.cgi?keywords=tasklet tasklist: http://bugs.winehq.com/buglist.cgi?keywords=tasklist For a full list of .9/1.0 task's

Re: RESEND: Handle shortened *optval arg. in WS_setsockopt / WS_SO_RCVTIMEO

In Unix the arg optval points to a struct timeval, in windows to a (32bit) int, no mystery here. The latter is the timeout in milliseconds.

Unfortunately this does not work (a recv timing out). The socket in wine is non-blocking internally, any blocking will be done in the function do_block() using a select(). SO_RCVTMO has no effect there. Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes(a)xs4all.nl

Actually, it's a win32 c++ app with lots of win32 c++ dlls and one winelib c++ dll. The winelib dll depends on two other win32 c++ dlls, which the app also depends on. I'm trying to avoid turning those other dlls into winelib dlls, since one of them uses ATL. Am I trying to do something that can't really be done? Is it possible to make the stub dll that winelib generates forward calls to the win32 dll (ie, give it both the gcc mangled name and the msvc mangled name)? -Steve

another MZ_Exec() problem...
by chrismorgan＠rcn.com 25 Sep '02

25 Sep '02

Inside of MZ_Exec() I call out to CreateProcessA() if the executable is PE. I've set the lpEnvironment parameter of CreateProcessA() to null to have it inherit the environment of the caller but this isn't working correctly. The path and other environment variables aren't being inherited. Ideas on how to either get CreateProcessA() to inherit properly or where I can find the environment settings? I noticed the env_ptr in the parmeter block but I'm unsure if this is what I'm looking for or where to find more information about it. Thanks, Chris

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...
