It would be much better to apply the version I posted to wine-devel, which I think works pretty good. I can supply a diff between this version and the fixed one, if desired.

Re: Threading on Solaris
by Gregg Mattinson 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Hey everyone. I've been trying to update threads by following Francois' directions, and I think I may have come across a bug. Can someone help me out here... Why does the SYSLEVEL structure have a CRITICAL_SECTION inside it? Shouldn't a mutex be used instead? According to MSDN, the function EnterCriticalSection has the following property: If a thread terminates while it has ownership of a critical section, the state of the critical section is undefined. Also, WaitForSingleObject returns WAIT_ABANDONED if: the specified object is a mutex object that was not released by the thread that owned the mutex object before the owning thread terminated. Ownership of the mutex object is granted to the calling thread, and the mutex is set to nonsignaled. So, if a thread _EnterSysLevel and is then terminated, no other threads can enter that sys level. This seems wrong to me... Should I replace the CRITICAL_SECTION with a mutex? Any objections? Or, should EnterCriticalSection be fixed so that it has similar behaviour to WaitForSingleObject, instead of "undefined" behaviour (which is currently to block forever) Let me know what you guys think, Gregg Mattinson Co-op Developer Sun Microsystems of Canada >From: Gregg Mattinson <gm138242(a)opcom-mail.canada.sun.com> >Subject: Re: Threading on Solaris >To: wine-devel(a)winehq.com >Cc: fgouget(a)codeweavers.com >Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 07:21:46 -0400 (EDT) > >Threads on Solaris are a big issue for Sun, so I will start tackling this >problem today.

Sounds like we need some regression tests that run DOS progams like 'find' and 'more', and make sure they work properly. I myself use the sourcesafe commandline tools, which are of the sort that just pipe characters to stdout and from stdin, and was horrified to discover that sometime after 9/2001, wine stopped running them correctly -- it started putting stdout in raw mode (!), which caused all line-oriented reads from stdin to fail. It also did curses initialization (!!), which made things look very messy indeed. I'm still running my snapshot from around 9/2001, but if I ever get up the energy, maybe I'll write a regression test to make sure e.g. DOS "more" works correctly. - Dan

Re: dos console apps question

Yes, many DOS console apps don't work under plain Wine because DOS emulation does not create console for the applications. Some applications actually make Wine crash because the application gets illegal coordinates when GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo fails. The correct place for console allocation would likely be VGA_SetAlphaMode; call to normal Windows AllocConsole() function should be enough, no server calls are needed. Additionally, if DOS console application tries to call a routine that requires console, VGA_SetAlphaMode should be called in order to initialize console (see VGA_SetCursorPos). I have been thinking doing this myself, but I have always ended up being uncertain about how this change is going to affect piping input and output of DOS programs that use only stream IO and not console IO. Anyway, I don't have time for this stuff so I would appreciate if you could work on this. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

The problem appears to be here, at about line 779 in windows/painting.c: else /* entire window or client depending on RDW_FRAME */ { if( flags & RDW_FRAME ) hRgn = 1; else { GETCLIENTRECTW( wndPtr, r2 ); hRgn = CreateRectRgnIndirect( &r2 ); } } Reading the MS docs, it appears to me that in this case RDW_FRAME should be ignored. What happens is the program has an area that needs to be repainted, but this part of the code causes only a portion to be repainted, leaving a portion of the screen still "invalidated". This causes another paint request, which since nothing has changed, still does not result in the correct repainting. And so it is stuck in an indefinite loop. This rather simple patch appears to fix things, but I did not submit it because it did not completely clear up the screen corruption (for example testing on Kaleidegraph, for which a free download is available somewhere...), though it did stop this bug: Index: windows/painting.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/wine/wine/windows/painting.c,v retrieving revision 1.71 diff -u -r1.71 painting.c --- windows/painting.c 5 Jul 2002 01:23:31 -0000 1.71 +++ windows/painting.c 25 Jul 2002 00:44:15 -0000 @@ -779,15 +779,9 @@ OffsetRect( &r2, pt.x, pt.y ); hRgn = CreateRectRgnIndirect( &r2 ); } - else /* entire window or client depending on RDW_FRAME */ + else /* entire window */ { - if( flags & RDW_FRAME ) hRgn = 1; - else - { - GETCLIENTRECTW( wndPtr, r2 ); - hRgn = CreateRectRgnIndirect( &r2 ); - } } }

DTR / DTS vs RTS/CTS vs Wine
by List vmn 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Hi, I am testing a serial printer driver that uses DTR/DTS hardware flow control on wine. While testing the driver running winedbg everything worked, not so when I ran the program directly from wine. I sent this problem to the printer manufacturer and they put a data scope on the serial line. It seems that the DTR/DTS signal was not being caught by the computer and therefore the computer was sending info over the serial port when the printer was not ready. I read on the net that the linux kernel does not implement DTR/DTS but only RTS/CTS hardware flow control. I also read that it is usual for cables to be built that connect the RTS/CTS pins to the DTR/DTS pins therefore tricking the computer and printer [the computer understands RTS/CTS and the printer DTR/DTS ] and getting good results. The output of --debugmsg +comm after SetCommState was called was ~IXONN ~IXOFF. Can anybody indicate that If I build the correct cable and ask for RTS/CTS with SetCommState , that the serial io will work? Any limitation of wine with RTS/CTS? Is it correct that windows does not do ANY hardware flow control? If so, how can this app work under windows since it only uses standard SetCommState, ReadFile, WriteFile calls... Thanks, Miguel Feitosa

Re: Dinput - Keyb Bug
by Kristoffer Ericson 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Greetings, I've been working with this problem for about 2 weeks now (play alot of tribes) and it's finally working with keyboard. I tried dinput about a week ago but couldn't make it work but as you said i should have used directx5 or 6 instead. Keyboard works fine but i still have other issues, to make the game fully functional. Dsound komplains somewhat and the sound sounds pitched (plays to fast, thus giving the smurf syndrom), i tried to use -dll dsound.dll but it says that it can't find the file. I know i've done right so i checked around on irc.openprojects.net and they said that not all -dll's can be used natively, is this right? Also i fail to get opengl to work, i simply can't select it in game. Any ideas? I've compiled with --enable-opengl and i've run a testprogram using opengl which works fine. Tribes running in fullscreen mode it feels slow and strange, but running it in window mode makes it feel fast and stable. Why? i tried to use native ddraw.dll but then the game won't even start, there's just a black screen. Thank you for all your support, considering i've been running around looking at homepages and chatting on irc when you all solved my problem within 1 day, THANKS(!). Other than that Tribes works fine. >From: Steven Edwards <steven_ed4153(a)yahoo.com> >To: Kristoffer Ericson <kristoffer_e1(a)hotmail.com>, wine-devel(a)winehq.com >Subject: Re: Dinput - Keyb Bug >Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 15:11:53 -0700 (PDT) > >You need to use the windows dinput.dll as ours is (still) not up to spec.

Calling a winelib program (wcmd) from inside wine with arguments
by Uwe Bonnes 25 Jul '02

25 Jul '02

Hallo, how do I call a winelib programm with arguments from inside wine. I tried several appoaches in a first hack for Batch file support in wine, but I didn't succeed. It seemed that either the winelib programm insisted on the "--" divider or it tried to interpret it.

Never mind, if WAS a stupid question :-) For who needs it too, just add __asm__("int $0x03\n\t") ; at the required point, maybe inside an huge if(....) Regards Max
