problems with dde, I think...
by Josh Duncan 30 Oct '01

30 Oct '01

Hi all, I'm a little new to the list, so please be forgiving if I'm asking old questions. I've tried to do some research on the net and list archives to see if my questions have been answered before. I'm trying to run a program called Logos, which is a reference system for Biblical texts and other various study materials. It has a two-(independent)-windowed type interface, with a list of reference materials in one window("library"), and a workspace-type window containing subwindows with the texts of individual books. I can get the "library" window to show up when running wine, and the initial "quick tip" window, but when I click the close button of the tip window wine encounters an exception. I believe the exception is in user32.dll, in the ddeuninitialize16 function. This is going from my memory of the one time I was able to attach to the wine process to catch the exception. I attempted copying the kernel32, user32 dll's from a win98 machine into my wine dir, but this did not help. after doing this, I could not run winedbg either, as it exits giving me the following error: err:win32:PE_fixup_imports No implementation for kernel32.dll.0(wine_get_unix_file_name) imported from winedbg, setting to 0xdeadbeef This error occurs even after removing the two dlls. If anyone can give me advice about how to fix this, I'll try to post up the winedbg results of running the program(backtrace, et al) I know that some people have mentioned dde being broken between apps, I don't know if this is the case for this app, because when I was able to do a winedbg "walk process" it only listed one w-process, with 4 w-threads running. I have attached my wine config file, any advice would be greatly appreciated. (Also, if this email should have gone to the wine-users list, please let me know) I'm using the wine-20011029.i386.rpm from LinuxEasy, linked off of the winehq.org download page. sincerely, Josh Duncan not that it matters, but a pic of the two windows I can produce are at http://www.msmd.net/logos.jpg I'd try and show a pic of the other window, but the system gets so unstable that it can hard-lockup the machine, I think this is a cpu-spinning-in-signal handler problem but I couldn't get you a log right now to prove it.

(no subject)

I had an idea for using poll or select (rather than calculating expected play time and using a timeout) in audio.c The idea is to have a thread that sits on a select and dispatches a synthetic wine event (ie. we'd make up a WM_DSP_READY event) when the select returns. wodPlayer could then do an infinite wait and the select could be turned on or off when starting and ending playing. >From my relatively naive view a generic mechanism like this (ie. one that converts async IO selects into wine events) would be a good feature to have from a performance and code tidiness point of view. One caveat is that we'd need to ensure nothing evil happened if somebody sent the synthetic event from somewhere other than the select waiter. Comments? Am I missing something? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo! Personals. http://personals.yahoo.com

It loads fine under Windows - however, both dependancy walker and the Nt quick viewer are not happy with it (one displays that there is a format error in the exe, the other loops and finally crashes) The web site says that this executable is compressed with a tool called UPX. This seems to be the reason for the problem, as the original program is compiled with Ms VC++ - not a very exotic tool. I think that a fix could be to detect a corrupted header in dump_exports and to not try to display anything if numberoffunctions is not coherent with the export section size. I tried a hack for that and virtualdub got further; however, I see that it is trying to load avicap32.dll and this is not going to work - even under Linux ;:-) Gerard

I see a very similar problem with my X server : 4.03 that comes with my Mandrake 8, graphic card is a Sis 6326. I had tested your patch before it was committed BTW but I failed to notice the problem :-/ Anyway, the attached patch is displaying the failing picture correctly. What do you think ? Gerard

struct thread in server/thread.h
by Gerald Pfeifer 29 Oct '01

29 Oct '01

In server/thread.h we have a definition of struct thread. Unfortunately, though, this clashes with struct thread as defined in /usr/include/sys/thread.h on FreeBSD 5.x and probably other systems (Solaris) as well. How should this be addressed? Would any of you mind fixing this? (If it's okay to just rename struct thread to struct winethread, I'm volunteering to handle that, else it'd be great could one of the experts have a look!)

Wine and Starcraft
by geschrader 29 Oct '01

29 Oct '01

I've been pecking away attempting to track down why the current wine build won't run Starcraft. When it starts up I get the effect that I playfully refer to as the TSOD (Technicolor Screen Of Death). What I've found is that if all of the references to gdi_display in X11DRV_DDHAL_SetPalEntries( ) are replaced with thread_display( ) then it actually starts up and looks pretty good. However, the keyboard and mouse don't work so this is at best a partial fix. I'm pretty sure that this is on the right track since X11DRV_XF86DGA2_CreatePalette( ) uses thread_display( ) to make the palette that is eventually given to X11DRV_DDHAL_SetPalEntries( ). The only other function in dlls/x11drv/x11ddraw.c that uses gdi_display is X11DRV_DDHAL_DestroyPalette( ). Should thread_display( ) be used there also? How is gdi_display related to the display returned by thread_display( )? Both are used in quite a few places but they're obviously not the same thing. Can anybody give me some hints on what might be happening with the keyboard and mouse? Thanks much, ges

FindWindow, WaitforSingleObject and Deadlock
by Uwe Bonnes 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Hallo, I reported before, some applications of the quicklogic suite starts some watchdog application and hangs at this state. I tracked this down to the following sequence of events: - master application starts, sets up an event and resets the event - master application starts the watchdog - as soon as CreateProcess return, the Master application calls WaitForSingleObject with infinite timeout on that event - watchdog application starts and calls FindWindow. This is translated in a GetWindowText Call and finally SendMessageW (WM_GETTEXT) is called - Master application never awakes from waiting for the WaitForSingleObject Event and so never processes the SendMessage and Findwindow in the watchdog never returns I found two things relates to this deadlock in the API description: For WaitForSingleObject: "Use caution when calling the wait functions and code that directly or indirectly creates windows. If a thread creates any windows, it must process messages. Message broadcasts are sent to all windows in the system. A thread that uses a wait function with no time-out interval may cause the system to become deadlocked" so the latter behaviour seems right. But GetWindowText seems to expect such a deadlock: "If the target window is owned by the current process, GetWindowText causes a WM_GETTEXT message to be sent to the specified window or control. If the target window is owned by another process and has a caption, GetWindowText retrieves the window caption text. If the window does not have a caption, the return value is a null string. This behavior is by design. It allows applications to call GetWindowText without hanging if the process that owns the target window is hung." Sending the WM_GETTEXT only for local windows in the FindWindow loop makes the application continue and at some point the event is triggered. How should wine handle that case? Sould the caption be stored on the server? I it perhaps already? Bye Uwe Bonnes bon(a)elektron.ikp.physik.tu-darmstadt.de Free Software: If you contribute nothing, expect nothing --
