Wine 64 bit

Sorry for the belated response. GCC takes forever to build on my system.

I used gcc 4.8 from macports, because as far as I could tell there wasn't a chance of using any version of clang without patching it. Using gcc I hit winehq bug 38380 right away:

I don’t use Apple’s broken as(1), because I patch Clang, whose integrated assembler is decidedly un-broken. That’s why I never submitted a patch for that. (In fact, it’s possible to make as(1) invoke Clang to do the assembly, if you pass it the ‘-q’ switch.)

I still need to get my __ms_va_list patches upstream into LLVM/Clang, but there’s a big rewrite going on related to pointer types in LLVM IR that affects my patch (i.e. it’ll make it simpler), so I’m waiting for that to go through first.

I submitted that patch once, but Alexandre rejected it because we lack V86 support anyway on Mac OS, so what’s it matter if Win16 and Win9x programs can’t access the IVT, BDA or DOS Data Segment? :) I guess I could make it unconditional (since he’s not going to take my patch to make it 0 on 32-bit), but it’d be redundant on 32-bit, because the default size of the __PAGEZERO segment there is 4k.

Just now, attached to this email. ;) (NOTE: You’ll have to regenerate configure after applying this change.)

That’s great! In fact, that’s actually further than I get building with Clang—even with my patches applied to it. (It doesn’t help that Clang produces broken DWARF unwind info for Win64 ABI functions, which I really need to fix…)

By the way, I can tell you right now that WoW64 won’t work quite yet. Mac OS has no separate lib32/lib64 directories, so we need to produce fat DLLs. I have another patch (also attached) to teach kernel32 to recognize fat binaries, but there’s no build system infrastructure for making fat DLLs yet. If you want to try out WoW64, you’ll have to do that manually with lipo(1). (I’ve actually submitted this second patch, but AJ hasn’t taken it. I guess he’s unconvinced that it’s correct. Maybe if we try out WoW64 and it works, he’ll be more convinced. ;)
