Programming / Re: Dive: Why does not this work
« on: April 21, 2024, 12:15:55 am »
Yes, I do use the Dive functions, but WM_VRNDISABLED AND WM_VRNENABLED are not much use for me, since Classicube gives me the rectangles it wants to paint to, anyway. Moreover, SDL2 works without using the window messages, so it seems optional.
Really? Does it correctly handle the situation when the application window is partly obscured by another desktop window?

Take a look here. It seems that DIVE doesn't support blitting from 32bit source buffers. No matter what colour depth the screen is using. You may also want to check the return values of DiveSetupBlitter and DiveBlitImage.

I seem to remember, that DIVE doesn't like 'BGR4'. Try to set up your source buffer as 'BGR3'. Also I don't see, where 'fccColorFormat' is initialized.

Programming / Re: DosDevIOCtl disabling keyboard in VIO mode
« on: March 09, 2024, 03:31:29 pm »
The resident name table entry (i.e. module name) is still incorrect. Please refer to:

http://www.edm2.com/index.php/LX_-_Linear_eXecutable_Module_Format_Description#Resident_or_Non-resident_Name_Table_Entry

Also, the file extension (i.e. '.exe') should be removed.

... is able to produce OS/2 executables (cd \devel\pdos\pdpclib then pdmake -f makefile.sos then pdptest abc def) that appear to work. However, the executable is still crashing ArcaOS ...
That somehow contradicts itself. If it was working, it would not crash AcraOS. BTW, The fact that any version of OS/2 can be crashed by invalid EXE headers is known for many years (Someone remembers this 'Smallest Hello World Program' contest?) and it is very unlikely that this is going change.

BTW, there are more 'fishy' things than Rich already pointed out. The DOS stub is complete bogus (Load image size, memory requirement, initial SS:SP, CS:IP). Better remove it completely instead of using invalid values.

In the LX header:
  • 'Auto DS object' is not set.
  • The 'Module flags' don't define an API type (PM, Windowcompat, NotWindowCompat)
  • Assuming that the entry table is empty, the 'Entry table offset' should point to the same address as 'Fixup page table offset'
  • The 'Resident names table offset' is invalid. Thus the kernel cannot determine the internal module name of the image
  • The 'Import module entry count' is set to two even though the 'Import module table' only contains one entry (DOSCALLS)
  • The 'Import procedure names table offset' points beyond the end of the file
Also strange:
  • OS/2 executables normally use a base address of 0x10000. That's the lowest possible virtual address.
  • 'Object 3' is usually the stack. It's pages are not present in the executable. Instead they are flagged as 'ZERO FILLED'.
  • Given 'Object 3' ist the stack, 'Starting ESP' should point a few bytes before the end (i.e. virtual size - some_space) of this object.

ERROR: Attempt to free import module namew when not allocated




What also appears strange is the large number of 'offset32' fixups. Maybe I'm wrong, but IMHO these could/should be resolved by the linker so that they won't end up in the executable image at all.

Networking / Re: Updated Samba Client
« on: January 27, 2024, 11:38:02 pm »
What has changed in the plugin is the code at https://github.com/psmedley/ndpsmb/blob/samba-4.19.x/src/ndpsmb.c#L1008 where if the WPS is testing A.+,;=[].B,  we return immediately rather than calling smbwrp_getattr()
While this certainly is a performance benefit, I think this approach just 'cures' a symptom but does not address it's root cause. Obviously, smbwrp_getattr() has a memory leak. Just checking for a specific name doesn't prevent the same problem resurfacing in other situations.

must be a code error somewhere...

AFAIR, it's the WPS checking for long file name support. If that file operation produces a specific error, a FAT-like file system is assumed. The WPS will then shorten file names and store the originals in EAs.

Code: [Select]
+       win32:os2 {
                HEADERS += winscreensaver.h
                SOURCES += winscreensaver.cpp
        }
Is that the correct way to add OS/2 support?

No. That means 'win32' AND 'os2', which doesn't make sense. What you want is 'win32' OR 'os2', which is expressed as:

Code: [Select]
win32|os2 {
  ...
}


Also: Why is "moc_screensaver.cpp" included in "screensaver.cpp"?  This is very odd. This file is generated and will be added to the Makefile automatically. Of course only, if qmake is run against a correct *.pro.

My only question remains, why it does not work on 16M Colors?
Because support for 32bits per pixel is not fully implemented in DIVE. You may want to try the attached patch...

Here I leave a file with a patch that is not worth anything, and that does nothing.
For all others, execute if they can in 3 different sessions of "two" the same File name QW5.bas. Then start dooble.
There are always people believing in voodoo or some other strange religion. As pointed out in the other thread, there is no way that a program running in a VDM can modify global properties of the OS/2 system. The only thing it can affect is the timing by invalidating memory pages used by the other processes. Also it can access physical memory between 640K an 1M when defined as MEM_EXCLUDE_REGIONS in DOS memory settings. Everything else is simply impossible. The effects you attribute to the program are either coincidence or something that would happen just by starting a VDM running an arbitrary program in it.

Not having tried to compile this:
  • 'drvdata' is declared as an array. So the initialisation should be something like {{44, 0, "DISPLAY", ""}} or {{44, 0, "DISPLAY", {0}}}  I fail to see, why they use 'L' suffixes in the original source though.
  • 'RC' is indeed not used. In line 1076 a value gets assigned, but nobody bothers to do something with it.
  • 'SC_MOVE' and 'SC_CLOSE' have values of 0x800X. They are propagated to (signed)integers by the compiler. Thus they indeed exceed that range of variable 'id' in the switch statement, which is (signed) short.
Modern compilers like the gcc rarely produce bogus warnings. In almost any case these warnings have a reason. And -Wall should be considered as your friend, not your enemy. Old code like this will often trigger warnings when using recent tools.
