Multiple regressions in alt.binz

Gert van den Berg · Post by **Gert van den Berg** » Sat May 22, 2010 5:39 am

Alt-binz 0.28.5 used to run fine under Wine.

It have recently started using significantly more memory and since
1.2-rc1 it gives an error when starting up.

I'm currently running a regression test for the error. The memory is
harder to test, since it grows slowly. (Any other factors that can
cause it? I'm now running Compiz an)

Log for when it gives error: (Launched with alias that changes
directory, runs Wine, changes directory back) (meant for regression
testing)
fixme

FileIconInit (true)

SHGetFileInfoW set icon to shell size, stub

fixme

SHGetFileInfoW set icon to shell size, stub

It gives an access voilation error in the GUI and fails to load
settings. On quiting it gives another access violation (that looks
like a null pointer dereference)

Any tips for testing for memory leaks?

Any tips beyond the wiki page for regression testing? (usch as things
to include in the bug post)

Log for a good run:

It seems identical as for a bad run... Any idea which debugs sould be
useful for access-violations?

Does Wine allow for the copy and paste of dialog boxes? (Windows does)

Errors like these are not fun to type:

First dialog:
Access violation at address 00519D0F in module 'altbinz.exe'. Write of
address 02792000.

On exiting:
Access violation at address 00677706 in module 'altbinz.exe'. Read of
address 00000000.

Faulty commit:

(Any idea which debug might show problems caused by that patch?)

You can try to do a copy + paste. If you can highlight the error
messages, then this should be possible.

On exiting:
Access violation at address 00677706 in module 'altbinz.exe'. Read of
address 00000000.

This really needs to be fixed as it happens to more and more programs.

Time for a bug report or at least a good search for one. Looks like a
faulty patch or possibly an undiscovered bug that his patch uncovered.
I've added Dmitry to this message chain so that he can look at it.

Windows copies the entire dialog. Example from notepad (x64 running in
VirtualBox) below:

Save As

You cannot save in the folder you specified. Please choose another location.

OK

I already logged a bug and CCed him...

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22815

(Alt.binz 0.25 crashes with backtrace, 0.28.5 seem to handle the error
without a crash)

The Windows API looks scary...

No need to cc Dmitry on the bug list.

No. but the developers need to know what is required to run this
program, which looks very much BETA at this time.
