This document should help new developers get started. Like all of Wine, it
is a work in progress.
SOURCE TREE STRUCTURE
=====================
The Wine source tree is loosely based on the original Windows modules.
Most of the source is concerned with implementing the Wine API, although
there are also various tools, documentation, sample Winelib code, and
code specific to the binary loader. Note that several of the libraries
listed here are "stubbed out", meaning they still need to be implemented.

IMPLEMENTING NEW API CALLS
==========================
This is the simple version, and covers only Win32. Win16 is slightly
uglier, because of the Pascal heritage and the segmented memory model.
All of the Win32 APIs known to Wine are listed in the .spec file of
their corresponding dll. An unimplemented call will look like (from
gdi32.spec)
@ stub PolyPatBlt
To implement this call, you need to do the following four things.
1. Find the appropriate parameters for the call, and add a prototype to
the correct header file. In this case, that means [include/wingdi.h],
and it might look like
BOOL WINAPI PolyPatBlt(HDC, LPCVOID, DWORD);
If the function has both an ASCII and a Unicode version, you need to
define both and add a #define WINELIB_NAME_AW declaration. See below
for discussion of function naming conventions.
2. Modify the .spec file to tell Wine that the function has an
implementation, what the parameters look like and what Wine function
to use for the implementation. In Win32, things are simple--everything
is 32-bits. However, the relay code handles pointers and pointers to
strings slightly differently, so you should use 'str' and 'wstr' for
strings, 'ptr' for other pointer types, and 'long' for everything else.
@ stdcall PolyPatBlt(long ptr long) PolyPatBlt
The 'PolyPatBlt' at the end of the line is which Wine function to use
for the implementation.
3. Implement the function as a stub. Once you add the function to the .spec
file, you must add the function to the Wine source before it will link.
Add a function called 'PolyPatBlt' somewhere. Good things to put
into a stub:
o a correct prototype, including the WINAPI
o header comments, including full documentation for the function and
arguments (see documentation/README.documentation)
o A FIXME message and an appropriate return value are good things to
put in a stub.
/************************************************************

*/
BOOL WINAPI PolyPatBlt(HDC hdc, LPCVOID p, DWORD count)
{
/* tell the user they've got a substandard implementation */
FIXME("(%x,%p,%d): stub\n", hdc, p, count);
/* some programs may be able to compensate,
* if they know what happened
*/
SetLastError(ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
return FALSE; /* error value */
}
4. Implement and test the rest of the function.
IMPLEMENTING A NEW DLL
======================
Generic directions
------------------
Apart from writing the set of needed .c files, you also need to do the
following:
1. Create a directory <MyDll> where to store the implementation of
the DLL. This directory has to be put under the dlls/ directory.
If the DLL exists under Windows as both 16 and 32 bit DLL, you
should have a single directory with both implementations.
2. Create the Makefile.in in the ./dlls/<MyDll>/ directory. You can
copy an existing Makefile.in from another ./dlls/ subdirectory.
You need at least to change the MODULE and C_SRCS macros.
3. Add the directory in ./configure.ac (in AC_OUTPUT macro at the end
of the file to trigger the Makefile generation)
4. Run ./make_dlls in the dlls directory to update Makefile.in in
that directory.
5. You can now regenerate ./configure file (with 'autoconf')
and the various Makefiles (with 'configure; make depend') (run
from the top of Wine's tree).
You should now have a Makefile file in ./dlls/<MyDll>/
6. Create the .spec file for the DLL exported functions in your
directory. Refer to 'Implementation of new API calls' earlier in
this document for more information on this part.
7. You can now start adding .c files. For the .h files, if they are
standard Windows one, put them in include/. If they are linked to
*your* implementation of the dll, put them in your newly created
directory.
Debug channels
--------------
If you need to create a new debug channel, just add the
WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL to your .c file(s), and use them.
All the housekeeping will happen automatically.
Resources
---------
If you also need to add resources to your DLL, then create the .rc
file. Add to your ./dlls/<MyDll>/Makefile.in, in the RC_SRCS macro,
the list of .rc files to add to the DLL. See dlls/comctl32/ for an
example of this.
Thunking
--------
If you're building a 16 & 32 bit DLLs pair, then from the 32 bit code
you might need to call 16 bit routine. The way to do it to add in the
code, fragments like:
/* ### Start build ### */
extern WORD CALLBACK <PREFIX>_CallTo16_word_wwlll(FARPROC16,WORD,WORD,LONG,LONG,LONG);
/* ### stop build ### */
Where <PREFIX>_ is an internal prefix for your module. The first
parameter is always of type FARPROC16. Then, you can get the regular
list of parameters. The _word_wwlll indicates the type of return (long
or word) and the size of the parameters (here l=>long, w=>word; which
maps to WORD,WORD,LONG,LONG,LONG.
You can put several functions between the Start/Stop build pair.
You can also read the winebuild manpage for more details on this.
Then, add to ./dlls/<MyDll>/Makefile.in a line like:
EXTRA_OBJS = $(MODULE).glue.o
See dlls/winmm/ for an example of this.
MEMORY AND SEGMENTS
===================
NE (Win16) executables consist of multiple segments. The Wine loader
loads each segment into a unique location in the Wine processes memory
and assigns a selector to that segment. Because of this, it's not
possible to exchange addresses freely between 16-bit and 32-bit code.
Addresses used by 16-bit code are segmented addresses (16:16), formed
by a 16-bit selector and a 16-bit offset. Those used by the Wine code
are regular 32-bit linear addresses.
There are four ways to obtain a segmented pointer:
- Using the MapLS function (recommended).
- Allocate a block of memory from the global heap and use
WIN16_GlobalLock to get its segmented address.
- Declare the argument as 'segptr' instead of 'ptr' in the spec file
for a given API function.
Once you have a segmented pointer, it must be converted to a linear
pointer before you can use it from 32-bit code. This can be done with
the MapSL function. The linear pointer can then be used freely with
standard Unix functions like memcpy() etc. without worrying about 64k
boundaries. Note: there's no easy way to convert back from a linear
to a segmented address.
In most cases, you don't need to worry about segmented address, as the
conversion is made automatically by the callback code and the API
functions only see linear addresses. However, in some cases it is
necessary to manipulate segmented addresses; the most frequent cases
are:
- API functions that return a pointer
- lParam of Windows messages that point to a structure
- Pointers contained inside structures accessed by 16-bit code.
It is usually a good practice to used the type 'SEGPTR' for segmented
pointers, instead of something like 'LPSTR' or 'char *'. As SEGPTR is
defined as a DWORD, you'll get a compilation warning if you mistakenly
use it as a regular 32-bit pointer.
STRUCTURE PACKING
=================
Under Windows, data structures are tightly packed, i.e. there is no
padding between structure members. On the other hand, by default gcc
aligns structure members (e.g. WORDs are on a WORD boundary, etc.).
This means that a structure like
struct { BYTE x; WORD y; };
will take 3 bytes under Windows, but 4 with gcc, because gcc will add a
dummy byte between x and y. To have the correct layout for structures
used by Windows code, you need to embed the struct within two special
#include's which will take care of the packing for you:
#include "pshpack1.h"
struct { BYTE x; WORD y; };
#include "poppack1.h"
For alignment on a 2-byte boundary, there is a "pshpack2.h", etc.
NAMING CONVENTIONS FOR API FUNCTIONS AND TYPES
==============================================
In order to support both Win16 and Win32 APIs within the same source
code, the following convention must be used in naming all API
functions and types. If the Windows API uses the name 'xxx', the Wine
code must use:
- 'xxx16' for the Win16 version,
- 'xxx' for the Win32 version when no strings are involved,
- 'xxxA' for the Win32 version with ASCII strings,
- 'xxxW' for the Win32 version with Unicode strings.
If the function has both ASCII and Unicode version, you should then
use the macros WINELIB_NAME_AW(xxx) or DECL_WINELIB_TYPE_AW(xxx)
(defined in include/windef.h) to define the correct 'xxx' function
or type for Winelib. When compiling Wine itself, 'xxx' is _not_
defined, meaning that code inside of Wine must always specify
explicitly the ASCII or Unicode version.
If 'xxx' is the same in Win16 and Win32, you can simply use the same
name as Windows, i.e. just 'xxx'. If 'xxx' is Win16 only, you could
use the name as is, but it's preferable to use 'xxx16' to make it
clear it is a Win16 function.
Examples:
typedef struct { /* Win32 ASCII data structure */ } WNDCLASSA;
typedef struct { /* Win32 Unicode data structure */ } WNDCLASSW;
typedef struct { /* Win16 data structure */ } WNDCLASS16;
DECL_WINELIB_TYPE_AW(WNDCLASS);
ATOM RegisterClass16( WNDCLASS16 * );
ATOM RegisterClassA( WNDCLASSA * );
ATOM RegisterClassW( WNDCLASSW * );
#define RegisterClass WINELIB_NAME_AW(RegisterClass)
The Winelib user can then say:
WNDCLASS wc = { ... };
RegisterClass( &wc );
and this will use the correct declaration depending on the definition
of the UNICODE symbol.
DEBUG MESSAGES
==============
To display a message only during debugging, you normally write something
like this:
TRACE("abc..."); or
FIXME("abc..."); or
WARN("abc..."); or
ERR("abc...");
depending on the seriousness of the problem. (documentation/debugging.sgml
explains when it is appropriate to use each of them). You need to declare
the debug channel name at the top of the file (after the includes) using
the WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL macro, like so:
WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL(win);
If your debugging code is more complex than just printf, you can use
the macros:
TRACE_ON(xxx), WARN_ON(xxx), ERR_ON(xxx) and FIXME_ON(xxx)
to test if the given channel is enabled. Thus, you can write:
if (TRACE_ON(win)) DumpSomeStructure(&str);
Don't worry about the inefficiency of the test. If it is permanently
disabled (that is TRACE_ON(win) is 0 at compile time), the compiler will
eliminate the dead code.
