Wine call graph; wineserver; the "big picture"
by Phillip Schmitz 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

[I mistakenly posted this to comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine / wine-users rather than here. Thanks to eric pouech for his reply there. Sorry if you've already seen this there] Hi, I've been lurking for a while now with a view to starting work on wine - specifically COM and DCOM. I know some people have started some work and there might be some patent issues with COM at least - so maybe DCOM is a better bet (I had the possibly naive idea of implementing COM via DCOM - it would be almost transparent, slower but less "dangerous"). I've read most of the developer docs and some relevant source but I'm still having problems grokking the interrelationships between different parts of wine and the role(s) of wineserver. I have a general understanding of Win32 from a programatic point of view rather than wine's implementation details. While I'm quite willing to "read the source" there's rather a lot of it :) and rather deep dependencies (even with tags one jumps around for a while trying to understand what does what). Does anyone have a call graph for wine or a (decent, open-source) program for making one. I've considered Source-Navigator but it seems like the required database would be twice the size of the wine source! Since (D)COM affects many parts of function and message handling and process address space tampering I considered the less ambitious project of fixing up (Net)DDE first - at least then the all-important Hearts will run networked. Is anyone actively working on that (the source has sporadic updates)? I don't want to start hacking off on a tangent. The different behaviours of win9x and NT will also be a problem since I don't have a real NT installation Also, what do people use in terms of test-suites? custom win32 apps? free/shareware? While I have quite a few larger apps like Office etc I imagine it's better to try smaller, more specific apps at first. I want to do comparisons and communication with Win95/8 in VMWare and don't really want to _purchase more Win32 apps_ for testing! Thanks for any experience or insight you might share. Phillip

Extra space at bottom of toolbar
by Bobby Bingham 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

Has anyone else seen this... In WinZip 8.0 (I don't know about other versions/software), there are about 6 extra pixels at the bottom of the toolbar below the buttons. Does anyone know what's causing this? I can look into it if I get some time, but I was wondering if anybody knew. Bobby Bingham

_CheckNotSysLevel Patch
by Bobby Bingham 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

Ever since _CheckNotSysLevel was implemented in the CVS yesterday, I can't run any programs if the debugger isn't set up. I get: ... err:win32:_CheckNotSysLevel Holding lock 0x40800fe8 level 3 err:seh:start_debugger Couldn't start debugger (winedbg 134640360 52) (2) Read the Wine Developers Guide on how to set up winedbg or another debugger if the debugger is set up, I can continue, and and it works just fine. Somehow I don't recall windows not running programs without setting up the debugger :-) Bobby Bingham

Bill, Can you try the current CVS and let me know how that works. I have been doing some work with Toolbar, Rebar, etc. and the background drawing was one of the problems. If it still has problems, let me know the application and I will work on it.

I am just compiling up today's Wine; it was certainly there yesterday. As far as I can tell it crept in between 20010726 and 20010731 (dates in the WINE cvs itself). I will send you a test executable that shows the problem. Let me know how it appears on yours. Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: Guy L.

Transparent child windows
by Timo Kujala 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

Hi, Some time ago I posted a problem with M$ 32-bit terminal server client, as it did not paint it's window. Finally I got some time to look into this a bit more and found out following: The terminal server client creates (among other windows) two child windows, "Input Capture Window" and "Output Painter Window" (in that order). Input capture window is specified as transparent and it is laid over the output painter window so that the actual image is painted in the output painter window and input capture window just receives mouse clicks and keyboard input. The problem is that the input capture window is not really transparent. Output painter window is behind it and therefore output is never seen. (I was able to find this out by moving input capure window away from the view by modifying code in createwindow-call in win.c, but then mouse won't work in terminal server client) Any fixes for this?

Toolbar background error
by Bill Medland 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

Has anyone else noticed this? Is anyone already looking into this? Sometime during July something was changed that resulted on my setup failing to draw the toolbar background properly (it leaves the bottom third transparent). Since I have had previous problems with this setup (due to some sort of gcc bug) I thought I'd check. Bill
