d3d8 test failure, more details. - wine-devel

4 Dec 2009


      Thanks to James Mckenzie and Austin English for earlier hints. I've
installed more stuff (ubuntu packages) and spent a bit more time with d3d8.
I assume most people get these tests to work, so I'm a bit distressed I 
cannot seem to get
them to work properly, 100%.
The large amount of test code that 'just works'  is impressive.  I'd be 
reassured
I was not breaking things in any patch I submit
if I could figure out why I'm not getting 100%
(that is, what the heck might I be doing wrong?).
Any hints/suggestions would be welcome.
In dlls/d3d8/tests/visual.c one has the call that gets errors:
1357     if (caps.VertexShaderVersion >= D3DVS_VERSION(1, 1))
   1358     {
   1359         test_rcp_rsq(device_ptr);
   1360     }
and  test_rcp_rsq() does some *VertexShade calls not made elsewhere.
The last few lines of 'make test' output in d3d8/tests are:
fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation 
support to SetDepthStencilSurface
fixme:d3d_draw:drawPrimitive Using software emulation because manual fog 
coordinates are provided
visual.c:598: Test failed: Color components differ: c1 = 80, c2 = 00, c3 
= 80
visual.c:632: Test failed: Color components differ: c1 = 80, c2 = 00, c3 
= 80
visual.c:634: Test failed: Color component value is 80
make: *** [visual.ok] Error 3
These failures are in test_rcp_rsq(), the function called at line 1359.
Note that other calls to to getPixelColor()  (a function in the
test code, tests/visual.c) work fine.
Only when a  couple of special Shaders are invoked does getPixelColor() get
something the test does not expect.
Possibly IDirect3DDevice8_CreateVertexShader() is not setting things up 
right or
somehow the 'DRI'  code in package libgl1-mesa-dri is not being effective?
I stuck a couple sleep(5) calls in the test source (to slow things
down at the error points) and I can see the shader code
has an effect visually (the test code generates small-ish windows with 
color blocks).
Compiling d3d8 and its  test code -g (that is, no -O2) gets exactly the same
results.

The 'libgl1-mesa-swx11*' packages are not installed,  swx11 seems to be 
incompatible
with some of the mesa stuff above (according to synaptic package manager).
Any hints/suggestions would be welcome.
