- <a name="cross"></a> - <h3>Cross referencing the Windows executables and libraries</h3> - - <p>The idea is to write a Perl script that analyzes the Windows dlls and executables of a - regular Windows installation and cross references them. This would generate Web pages - telling you which API is used by which program/library and reciprocally. - Analyzing the import/export section of PE executables is quite simple: it's just a matter - of running dumpbin (part of Visual C++) or pedump (open source) on them and then parsing - the resulting text file. This already being done with the wpbtk toolkit. - To view winapi_check output see <a href="http://fgouget.free.fr/wine/winapi_stats-en.shtml">Quick API statistics</a>. - To help with this please contact <a href="mailto:fgouget@free.fr">Francois Gouget</a> - </p> - Required skills: - <ul> - <li>Perl - </li><li>General HTML - </li></ul> - <a name="doc_win_api"></a> <h3>Documentation of the Windows API functions</h3>

Then these results can be cross-referenced with the results - of the above script to tell you which APIs this program is missing, what percentage they represent, etc. - Reciprocally one can weight each API according to how often they are referenced in a given environment to - produce an approximation of the likely hood that such an API will actually be called. Note that this would - just be an approximation because we would miss all the dynamically loaded APIs and libraries - (since we only scan the statically linked dynamic libraries). This would be an even more approximate - measure of the likely hood that the program will work: even though a program references an API it may never call it, - work even though this API does not work, or really depend on this API or even some undocumented aspect of this API. - Still this may provide a better approximation of the completeness of Wine than just treating all APIs as equivalent. - </p> - Required skills: - <ul> - <li>Perl - - </li><li>General HTML to present the results - </li><li>Maybe querying a database will be necessary too </li></ul>
