PRESS: GameSpy: Ports vs. WINE
by Marcus Meissner 09 May '01

09 May '01

Hi, Gamespy has an article regarding whether Games should be ported to Linux or emulated using WINE. Introduces porting Companies and Transgaming, then procedes to give statements from Gavriel, Michael Simms (CEO of TuxGames), Scott Draeker (Loki Games President), ... Except Gavriel (of course) all take on major flaming Wine, WineX and TransGaming. http://www.gamespy.com/articles/may01/wine/ Ciao, Marcus

Re: Add missing newline to WARN messages
by Francois Gouget 09 May '01

Here's the list of weird traces: dlls/comctl32/datetime.c:221 dlls/comctl32/datetime.c:224 It looks like the goal was to print stuff on the same line in multiple steps (one TRACE has a '\n' at the beginning) but no DPRINTF is used. Also I'm not sure we would always end up printing a '\n'. Add '\n's everywhere? objects/region.c:908 objects/region.c:911 objects/region.c:918 objects/region.c:936 The '\n' usage is inconsistent. Put '\n's everywhere? dlls/ole32/compositemoniker.c:340 There's a DPRINTF I'm not sure of but there's also (comment by me): { FIXME("()\n"); /* FIXME: To whoever wrote this code: It's either return or break. it cannot be both! */ break; return E_NOTIMPL; } I would say that it should be a return but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone familiar with this code? -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes.

FIXMEs in basic controls
by Uhmmmm 09 May '01

09 May '01

I don't know how high of a priority the basic controls (buttons, edit boxes, static, etc) are, but they sure do have a lot of FIXMEs that I'd be willing to help with. Mainly things that the writers didn't know what windoze did. I could probably fix a lot of these. I have a windoze machine, and I could tinker with it to find out the correct behaviour. The only thing is that I'm relatively new to editing wine's sources, and extremely new to CVS, so I wouldn't know what to do with the code when I've finished. If someone could clue me in, I'd be more than happy to clean up some of the FIXMEs.

Re: Aargh! Wine won't run anything

Well the RtlpWaitForCriticalSection, or at least one of them, has been a long running feature of Notes startup (see the note I posted a few days ago) and still happens on the 0418 drop. Occasionally since that post I have noticed that I get a continuous set of these on shutdown, so something is obviously being changed in this area. It would be nice to get rid of the underlying problem. I have not however seen the default handler problem.

doors IPC
by Damjan Lango 08 May '01

08 May '01

Hi, Some time ago here was a discussion about speeding up the communication between the wineserver and the application with various kernel patches. I was reading "Unix Network Programming, volume 2 - IPC" and ran over a "doors" IPC api that is implemented on Solaris and has the lowest latency. According to the book it is ~3 times faster than pipe. Actual values for Solaris 2.6 in the book are: (in miliseconds) doors: 121 sysv msgq: 260 pipe: 324 unix dom. socket: 465 posix msgq: 584 ... There is also a link to a Linux implementation of doors on: http://www.rampant.org/doors/ On this link you will find also more info on doors. But according to the performance tests that the author made, the linux pipe is somewhat the same speed as doors so maybe it could be optimized more or maybe is Linux's pipe already so optimized that doors are unnecesary. So what do you think, would this be useful for speeding up wine? I apologoize if you already know about this... ciao Damjan

I hate following up to my own messages. I sent the previous note after I couldn't get anything useful out of winedbg. Then I had the idea of just running Wine under gdb, and I got the following: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x402f1b93 in strchr () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x402f1b93 in strchr () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #1 0x405f6c78 in ??
