> The latest port of wine references PR 14652 > for patches to make -current work. > some of these ptches are however in areas I don't understand. > In particular signals, register contexts, etc. This refers to validity of segment registers fs/gs in sigcontext. Under -stable both of them are unused and signal handlers have to read the registers directly. Under -current fs was valid and gs still unused until I changed it recently, now they are both valid. This was done a couple weeks before 3.3-RELEASE, so I didn't have time to change -stable as well. I planned to do it immediately afterwards, but Marcel's 128-signal change came in, and I decided to wait for -current to stablize first. I guess it's time for me to make the changes. A word of warning, after the changes wine should be source compatible between -stable and -current, binary compiled on -stable should still work on -current, but not vice versa. There's another patch regarding SIGTRAP in the PR. I recall there were some discussions about it, but I don't know what's the final resolution (if there was one). Maybe Marcel and Bruce know better. > There is reference to a patch of luoqi's as well as other comments. This is the ldt sharing patch I had a while ago. It's still in my local tree, but I haven't updated the patch on my web page for a long time. I wanted to commit this patch, but I haven't found any one with enough time and interest to review it.
