DDraw, wined3d (d3d8, d3d9) and OpenGL32 in Mac OSX + stack fudging -- x86 only

[Nick Burns]

Whow I havent posted in a while...
Gottta job -- no more college (but I have to finish my Masters Thesis... 
crap)...

Ok back to wine

-------
(Mac OSX X86 ONLY)
Some of my friends an I have been working on wine after work and have 
managed to put together some patches

OpenGL dynamic loading
      -- Mac OSX does not need to dlsym every ogl entry point -- it handles 
that for you...
      -- so numerous apple specific changes to make that work right
GLX FBConfig
      -- not supported by mac glx
      -- faked inside of glx with choosevisual (~80,000 calls to choose 
visual with various pixel formats)
      -- this can be done better with agl or cgl or ANYTHING but x11 glx
Stack fudging
      -- mac requires 16 byte aligned stack windows does not
      -- this leads to illegal instructions (aligned wrongly)
      -- until gcc can handle this I have a temporary solution to realign 
stacks using inline asm (fragile and dangerous
      -- but better than crashing)
GLX Root Window
      -- Wine uses the fact that a root window exists in x11 in many 
places...
      -- But no one wants to run the x11 root window on their mac (what the 
b&w checkerz are ugly?)
      -- So I have some fixes for that too -- basically make a button and 
use its context for querying
quartzdrv -- from darwine
      -- I got this to compile and load -- but its not very useful -- it 
makes white boxes
winecoreaudio -- from darwine
      -- I got this to compile and load -- but its not very useful -- it 
crashes ALOT

I think thats all -- WHEW..

ATM -- We have the glx root window fixes and fbconfig fixes in for ddraw and 
d3d and ogl
I have only put the stack fudging asm blocks in specific functions

----------
So what is the next step? Can these changes go into the wine tree (barring 
the stack fudging)

Are people interested in these kinds of fixes?

------
Also what has Oliver Stieber been up to lately?

Thanks for all the hard work and effort put into wine -- keep it up
