Steps to debug a crash. You may stop at any step, but please report the bug
and provide as much of the information gathered to the newsgroup or the
relevant developer as feasonable.
1. Get the reason for the crash. This is usually an access to an invalid
selector, an access to an out of range address in a valid selector,
popping a segmentregister from the stack or the like. When reporting a
crash, report this WHOLE crashdump even if it doesn't make sense to you.
(In this case it is access to an invalid selector, for %es is 0000, as
seen in the register dump).
2. Determine where the reason came from.
Since this is usually a primary/secondary reaction to a failed or
misbehaving Wine function, rerun Wine with "-debugmsg +relay" (without ")
added to the commandline. This will get rather much output, but usually
the reason is located in the last call(s). Those lines usually look like
this:
|Call KERNEL.90: LSTRLEN(0227:0692 "text") ret=01e7:2ce7 ds=0227
^^^^^^^^^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^
| | | | | |Datasegment
| | | | |Return address
| | | |textual parameter
| | |
| | |Argument(s). This one is a win16 segmented pointer.
| |Function called.
|The module, the function is called in. In this case it is KERNEL.
|Ret KERNEL.90: LSTRLEN() retval=0x0004 ret=01e7:2ce7 ds=0227
^^^^^^
|Returnvalue is 16 bit and has the value 4.
3. If you have found a misbehaving function, try to find out why it
misbehaves. Find the function in the source code. Try to make sense of
the arguments passed. Usually there is a 'TRACE(<channel>,"(...)\n");'
at the beginning of the function. Rerun wine with
"-debugmsg +xyz,+relay" added to the commandline.
4. Additional information on how to debug using the internal debugger can be
found in debugger/README.
5. If those information isn't clear enough or if you want to know more about
what's happening in the function itself, try running wine with "-debugmsg
+all", which dumps ALL included debug information in wine.
6. If that isn't enough add more debug output for yourself into the
functions you find relevant. See documentation/debug-msgs.
You might also try to run the program in gdb instead of using the
WINE-debugger. If you do that, use "handle SIGSEGV nostop noprint"
to disable the handling of seg faults inside gdb (needed for Win16).
If you don't use the "-desktop" or "-managed" option,
start the WINE process with "-sync", or chances are good to get X into
an unusable state.
7. You can also set a breakpoint for that function. Start wine with the
"-debug" option added to the commandline. After loading the executable
wine will enter the internal debugger. Use "break KERNEL_LSTRLEN"
(replace by function you want to debug, CASE IS RELEVANT.) to set a
breakpoint. Then use "continue" to start normal program-execution. Wine
will stop if it reaches the breakpoint. If the program isn't yet at the
crashing call of that function, use "continue" again until you are about
to enter that function. You may now proceed with single-stepping the
function until you reach the point of crash. Use the other debugger
commands to print registers and the like.
Program hangs, nothing happens
==============================
Switch to UNIX shell, get the process-ID using "ps -a|grep wine", and do a
"kill -HUP <pid>" (without " and <>). Wine will then enter its internal
debugger and you can proceed as explained above. Also, you can use -debug
switch and then you can get into internal debugger by pressing Ctrl-C in
the terminal where you run Wine.
Program reports an error with a Messagebox
==========================================
Sometimes programs are reporting failure using a more or less nondescript
messageboxes. We can debug this using the same method as Crashes, but there
is one problem... For setting up a message box the program also calls Wine
producing huge chunks of debug code.
Since the failure happens usually directly before setting up the Messagebox
you can start wine with "-debug" added to the commandline, set a breakpoint
at "MessageBoxA" (called by win16 and win32 programs) and proceed with
"continue". With "-debugmsg +all" Wine will now stop directly before
setting up the Messagebox. Proceed as explained above.
You can also run wine using "wine -debugmsg +relay program.exe 2>&1|less -i"
and in less search for messagebox.
Disassembling programs:
=======================
You may also try to disassemble the offending program to check for
undocumented features and/or use of them.
The best, freely available, disassembler for Win16 programs is
Windows Codeback, archivename wcbxxx.zip, which usually can be found
in the Cica-Mirror subdirectory on the WINE ftpsites. (See ANNOUNCE).
Disassembling win32 programs is possible using the Windows Disassembler 32,
archivename something like w32dsm87.zip (or similar) on ftp.winsite.com
and mirrors. The shareware version does not allow saving of disassembly
listings.
You can also use the newer (and in the full version better) Interactive
Disassembler (IDA) from the ftp sites mentioned at the end of the document.
Understanding disassembled code is mostly a question of exercise.
Most code out there uses standard C function entries (for it is usually
written in C). Win16 function entries usually look like that:
| push bp
| mov bp, sp
| ... function code ..
| retf XXXX <--------- XXXX is number of bytes of arguments
This is a FAR function with no local storage. The arguments usually start
at [bp+6] with increasing offsets. Note, that [bp+6] belongs to the RIGHTMOST
argument, for exported win16 functions use the PASCAL calling convention.
So, if we use strcmp(a,b) with a and b both 32 bit variables b would be at
[bp+6] and a at [bp+10].
Most functions make also use of local storage in the stackframe:
| enter 0086, 00
| ... function code ...
| leave
| retf XXXX
This does mostly the same as above, but also adds 0x86 bytes of
stackstorage, which is accessed using [bp-xx].
Before calling a function, arguments are pushed on the stack using something
like this:
| push word ptr [bp-02] <- will be at [bp+8]
| push di <- will be at [bp+6]
| call KERNEL.LSTRLEN
Here first the selector and then the offset to the passed string are pushed.

Wine-dbg>
The code seems to find a writeable harddisk and tries to create a file
there. To work around this bug, you can define C: as a networkdrive,
which is ignored by the code above.
Written by Marcus Meissner <msmeissn@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>,
additions welcome.
-------
Here are some useful debugging tips, added by Andreas Mohr:
a) If you have a program crashing at such an early loader phase that you can't
use the Wine debugger normally, but Wine already executes the program's
start code, then you may use a special trick:
You should do a
wine -debugmsg +relay program
to get a listing of the functions the program calls in its start function.
Now you do a
wine -debug winfile.exe
This way, you get into Wine-dbg. Now you can set a breakpoint on any
function the program calls in the start function and just type "c" to bypass
the eventual calls of Winfile to this function until you are finally at the
place where this function gets called by the crashing start function.
Now you can proceed with your debugging as usual.
b) If you try to run a program and it quits after showing an error messagebox,
the problem can usually be identified in the return value of one of the
functions executed before MessageBox().
That's why you should re-run the program with e.g.
wine -debugmsg +relay <program name> &>relmsg
Then do a "more relmsg" and search for the last occurrence of a call to the string "MESSAGEBOX".
This is a line like
Call USER.1: MESSAGEBOX(0x0000,0x01ff1246 "Runtime error 219 at 0004:1056.",0x00000000,0x1010) ret=01f7:2160 ds=01ff
In my example the lines before the call to MessageBox() look like that:
Call KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY(0x0347) ret=01cf:1033 ds=01ff
CallTo16(func=033f:0072,ds=01ff,0x0000)
Ret KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY() retval=0x0001 ret=01cf:1033 ds=01ff
Call KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY(0x036f) ret=01cf:1043 ds=01ff
CallTo16(func=0367:0072,ds=01ff,0x0000)
Ret KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY() retval=0x0001 ret=01cf:1043 ds=01ff
Call KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY(0x031f) ret=01cf:105c ds=01ff
CallTo16(func=0317:0072,ds=01ff,0x0000)
Ret KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY() retval=0x0001 ret=01cf:105c ds=01ff
Call USER.171: WINHELP(0x02ac,0x01ff05b4 "COMET.HLP",0x0002,0x00000000) ret=01cf:1070 ds=01ff
CallTo16(func=0117:0080,ds=01ff)
Call WPROCS.24: TASK_RESCHEDULE() ret=00a7:0a2d ds=002b
Ret WPROCS.24: TASK_RESCHEDULE() retval=0x0000 ret=00a7:0a2d ds=002b
Ret USER.171: WINHELP() retval=0x0001 ret=01cf:1070 ds=01ff
Call KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY(0x01be) ret=01df:3e29 ds=01ff
Ret KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY() retval=0x0000 ret=01df:3e29 ds=01ff
Call KERNEL.52: FREEPROCINSTANCE(0x02cf00ba) ret=01f7:1460 ds=01ff
Ret KERNEL.52: FREEPROCINSTANCE() retval=0x0001 ret=01f7:1460 ds=01ff
Call USER.1: MESSAGEBOX(0x0000,0x01ff1246 "Runtime error 219 at 0004:1056.",0x00000000,0x1010) ret=01f7:2160 ds=01ff
I think that the call to MessageBox() in this example is _not_ caused
by a wrong result value of some previously executed function (it's
happening quite often like that), but instead the messagebox complains
about a runtime error at 0x0004:0x1056.
As the segment value of the address is only "4", I think that that is
only an internal program value. But the offset address reveals something
quite interesting:
Offset 1056 is _very_ close to the return address of FREELIBRARY():
Call KERNEL.96: FREELIBRARY(0x031f) ret=01cf:105c ds=01ff
^^^^
Provided that segment 0x0004 is indeed
segment 0x1cf, we now we can use IDA (available at
ftp://ftp.uni-koeln.de/pc/msdos/programming/assembler/ida35bx.zip)
to disassemble the part that caused the error. We just have to find
the address of the call to FreeLibrary(). Some lines before that the
runtime error occurred. But be careful ! In some cases you don't have
to disassemble the main program, but instead some DLL called by it in
order to find the correct place where the runtime error occurred. That
can be determined by finding the origin of the segment value (in this
case 0x1cf).
c) If you have created a relay file of some crashing program and want to set a
breakpoint at a certain location which is not yet available as the
program loads the breakpoint's segment during execution,
you may set a breakpoint to GetVersion16/32 as those functions are called
very often.
Then do a "c" until you are able to set this breakpoint without error message.
d) Some useful programs:
IDA: ftp://ftp.uni-koeln.de/pc/msdos/programming/assembler/ida35bx.zip
*Very* good DOS disassembler ! It's badly needed for debugging Wine sometimes.
XRAY: ftp://ftp.th-darmstadt.de/pub/machines/ms-dos/SimTel/msdos/asmutil/xray15.zip
Traces DOS calls (Int 21h, DPMI, ...). Use it with Windows to correct
file management problems etc.
pedump: http://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/win95/prog/pedump.zip
Dumps the imports and exports of a PE (Portable Executable) DLL.
Some basic debugger usages:
===========================
After starting you program with
wine -debug myprog.exe
the program loads and you get a prompt at the program starting point.
Then you can set breakpoints:
b RoutineName (by outine name) OR
b *0x812575 (by address)
Then you hit 'c' (continue) to run the program. It stops at
the breakpoint. You can type
step (to step one line) OR
stepi (to step one machine instruction at a time;
here, it helps to know the basic 386
instruction set)
info reg (to see registers)
info stack (to see hex values in the stack)
info local (to see local variables)
list <line number> (to list source code)
x <variable name> (to examine a variable; only works if code
is not compiled with optimization)
x 0x4269978 (to examine a memory location)
? (help)
q (quit)
By hitting Enter, you repeat the last command.
