Yes of course, if you compiled it with /usr/bin as prefix it assumes that /usr/bin is where its wineserver is. If you don't want that you have to change the prefix, or set WINESERVER explicitly. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Page faults and instruction emulation
by Ove Kaaven 19 Oct '01

19 Oct '01

As we all know, some (kinda worthless) "copy protection" software exist out there that doesn't work under Wine. Some of these work under win9x and winNT by using a different set of techniques for each OS. The winNT code installs a kernel driver, so I'm mainly interested in the win95 code, which only messes with Win95 internals to check that no debugger is snooping, before proceeding. I know of two Wine architecture issues that must be resolved before the anti-debugger check can succeed in win95 mode. 1. it checks that teb->debug_context (TEB offset 0x20) is zero. In Wine, it isn't (the NT pid is stored there), so this check fails. Is it possible to change Wine's TEB structure to fix this? 2. it messes with the IDT. It uses the sidt instruction and tries to change the INT5 vector (BOUND exception vector), later to try to execute a BOUND and expect this vector to be branched to, all protected with exception handlers. Now, this would actually be possible for Wine to emulate, even though sidt is not a privileged instruction. The idea is that sidt returns an address to kernel space, where all access is prohibited, hence causing page faults. Wine could trap these, and then emulate the faulting instruction by operating on a fake IDT instead. And then the segfault caused by BOUND could then look up the fake IDT entry, and call the vector therein. But to emulate an instruction from Wine's pre-exception page fault handler (VIRTUAL_HandleFault()), the current context must be passed along to it, so VIRTUAL_HandleFault and all Wine handlers that can be registered with VIRTUAL_SetFaultHandler must get an extra parameter. Is this too objectionable to do? Alexandre?

File media type
by Ove Kaaven 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

I'm trying to think of a way to make multi-CD installers work under Wine. Right now, the hardest part is that when the installers tell you to change discs, the Setup.exe file mappings are still open. I'm thinking of making Wine not map the file, but read it straight into RAM, if the executable to be mapped is on removable media. But since to do this, MapViewOfFile needs to know the media type, and the file name is only known in CreateFile, I apparently need to store the media type in the wineserver object to accomplish this. Would changing the wineserver protocol in this way be a good idea?

Re: Use the debugmsg for the pthread FIXME messages.

This will crash and burn if glibc calls a pthread function before ntdll has been properly initialized. Besides, the messages are annoying on purpose: to motivate someone to implement the missing functions... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

That is a sign that your patch is faulty. Any number of threads can increase this counter, it only succeeds if the count is really 0 before the call. (0 meaning the critical section is completely unlocked). If it is any other number, it is either a recursive enter or a different thread.

Yes; in fact I'd argue that we shouldn't care at all about X settings in most cases, except maybe to get initial values. For instance if the app remaps mouse buttons, or changes mouse threshold or whatever, you don't want to apply this to the whole X session IMO. If users want to reconfigure X behavior, they have to use the X configuration programs. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Re: MDI FindWndPtr fix

No, it is WIN_FindWndPtr and the whole reference counting that is going to disappear. The reference counting is needed only when we give control to the application while holding the window lock, and this is something we should never do. Another difference is that WIN_GetPtr returns a special value for windows belonging to another process, to force us to think about this case and handle it properly. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Problem with kernel32 on SPARC solaris 8.0
by Mrugan 18 Oct '01

I am trying to link kernel32 and ntdll libraries to my source code on SPARC Solaris 8.0. My executable does not exit. It gets stuck after spawning 4 threads. The gdb trace is as below: Starting program: /export/home/mrugan/src/HACore/HaNuanceChannelComRCE/nuancetest.exe warning: Lowest section in /usr/lib/libintl.so.1 is .hash at 00000074 warning: Lowest section in /usr/lib/libw.so.1 is .hash at 00000074 [New LWP 1] [New LWP 2] [New LWP 3] [New LWP 4] ^C Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt. 0xff19b390 in ___lwp_cond_wait () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 (gdb) where #0 0xff19b390 in ___lwp_cond_wait () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #1 0xff192c08 in _lwp_cond_wait () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #2 0xfef8c2f0 in _lrw_wrlock () from /usr/lib/libthread.so.1 #3 0xff3bdacc in ??

I guess this is happening because kernel32 tries to use thread library. Is there any way I can make it use pthread or is there any other solution to this? Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks Mrugan
