Repeated: Breakage in -relay and -snoop

[Uwe Bonnes]

Hallo,

since last week, e.g a commandline like "wine <xxx> --debugmsg
-relay=RtlEnterCriticalSection" inhibits _any_ relay message to be logged.

Bye

Great!
It would be convenient to have this option on by
default.
So we do not have to tell ppl to use this option
before they send logs to us.

For precation we can show status of the debugging
options in the beginning of the debugging output.

What do you think?

Specifying relay functions on the command-line is no longer
supported. You have to put them in the config file.

Did I miss some announcement :-)

B.t.w. what is the reason about all those commandline options vanishing into
the config file? It makes changes inflexible at least...

There was a patch on wine-cvs ;-)

The basic reason is modularity; centralized option handling is
incompatible with dll separation. Also command-line parsing is policy
that belongs in the higher layers, we must not have kernel dictate
applications what their command-line looks like. For instance today
you cannot pass options to a Winelib app without using '--' first to
isolate the Wine options and this is wrong.

It would be perfectly possible to write a high-level wrapper to Wine
to handle all sorts of options; all we need is someone to implement
it...
