I was thinking more to pro-actively determine if a program might crash so that wine developers can (possibly) focus efforts on implementing those stub functions to increase overall app compatibility.

I don't think it'd be very useful, at least for understanding crashes. If the program actually calls those functions before the crash, there will be a fixme or exception that tells us that (with the possible exception of using GetProcAddress, but we can't detect that from a PE image anyway).

Hi all,
I had an idea for something that might be useful and wanted to know everyone’s thoughts.
Basically, create a program that will take a Windows executable/dll, find all the imports and check Wine’s .spec files to see if the imports are stubs or don’t exist. Obviously could also go recursive through imports of other dlls down to the win32 sdk level too.
It might help figure out some “why is this program crashing” issues.
Thoughts? Rob
