Hello,
I have been doing some playing with builtin oleaut32 and a Visual Basic program I am trying to get working under wine with no-windows (well, as little as possible anyway).
I noticed after copying some ocx files from windows, I was starting to trap due to unimplemented stubs inside oleaut32, and have started coding up just enough to get my application working. Every time I fix one issue, I find 2 others, so before I dive in too far has anyone else done any work in improving this area which hasnt been submitted, or is anyone actively working on this - or should I just continue?
Just continue, but please submit blocks of functions as you finish them, so possible duplication of work is reduced.
Currently I have: VarCmp support for BSTR and Integer variants VarAnd support for boolean variants only VarNot support for boolean variants only VarParseNumFromStr support for negative numbers VarNumFromParseNum support shorts VarDateFromUDate return value is incorrect VarNot support for boolean variants only
Two other questions as I am still fairly new at Unix in general, let alone wine....
- What is the policy on patches - Is one big one with all changes for the
same module ok?
Progressively, seperated into logical components. So Alexandre and wine-patches can grasp it. ;)
My experience shows that patches should not be kept too long, or they just start to diverge too muchg.
- What about tracing - While writing them I have added trace to show the
parms and return values (relay just shows the rc whereas the actual return value is normally a third varient). Should I leave these in?
If it is not shown by +relay just leave it in.
Ciao, Marcus
