Should Wine also fail with an access violation or should it be
slightly more graceful and return E_FAIL instead (which my new patch
does)?
Yes, I think returning E_FAIL is a good idea, but write a WARN if
CreateVertexDeclaration fails or when you catch a NULL vdecl. A WARN will not
be shown by default(unlike a FIXME), it is used when the app does something
fishy but you think you handled it correctly.
- if (FAILED(hr))
- new_vertex_declaration = NULL;
- /* Free old vertex declaration */
- if (This->vertex_declaration)
- IDirect3DVertexDeclaration9_Release(This->vertex_declaration);
In this situation you can just release the old decl before calling
CreateVertexDeclaration and pass &This->vertex_declaration to CreateVdecl.
That simplified the code a bit. Don't forget to set This->vertex_declaration to
NULL in case of an error though
Ok I've simplified the code. I've also inserted three WARNs. I've
skipped a WARN when freeing the mesh because that works fine on
Windows with an invalid declaration.
- /* Set the position type to color instead of float3 (invalid
declaration) */
- hr = mesh->lpVtbl->UpdateSemantics(mesh, declaration_wrong_type_color);
- todo_wine ok(hr == D3D_OK, "Test UpdateSematics wrong type color, "
- "got %#x expected D3D_OK\n", hr);
Is this really invalid? I don't know it on top of my head, but in general
types and usage are independent, especially with shaders. I don't see a check
in d3d9 or wined3d for this case.
You're right it isn't invalid. It doesn't crash, it just doesn't draw
anything. I've change that comment and re-ordered the tests.
Beyond that I think the patches look OK. I'd recommend to send them to wine-
devel one more time and then next week to wine-patches. Henri is on Vacation
this week, and he's usually more picky than I am. I also hope some of the
people who regularly contribute to d3dx9 will have a look and comment.
Ok, I've attached the newest version. I'll let the patches sit here
for a week, and start working on the other functions in the mean time.
