COM and threads

[Fabian Cenedese]

Hi

There were some postings recently about CoInitialize and theads:
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/11/0974.html

"Sort of, the problem is that Wine doesn't support apartments yet, so it
doesn't try to keep track of the threads that has called CoInitialize."

I now have a problem that goes maybe in the same direction. I have an
ocx which is again embedded in another ocx. In the wrapper are two
threads (Msg and worker). I now get an error if the second thread tries
to call a function from the embedded ocx. In the wine log I can find only
one call to CoInitialize.

This is right before the call of the second ocx:

0811c6d0:Call ole32.CoGetMalloc(00000001,4211275c) ret=65352782

some window, gdi32 and heap functions

trace:ole:IMallocSpy_fnPostFree (0x40a00944)->(1)
0811c6d0:Ret  ole32.CoSetState() retval=00000000 ret=653527ec
trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException code=c0000005 flags=0 addr=0x65341543
trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException  info[0]=00000000
trace:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException  info[1]=00000010

The exception is right after CoSetState even if it says above that this is only
a stub. It's that bad that I don't even have a call stack anymore.

The function in the embedded ocx is never reached. But I can use the ocx
in a simple VB proggy so I'd say registration is ok. I'm quite sure the problem
lies in the two threads because it works better when I use only one thread
in the wrapper ocx. Can somebody confirm this? Is there a workaround for
this until wine supports COM with several threads?

Thanks
