JIRA-user "Illen" reported booting from his Z170 controller worked up to
0.4.12-dev-936-g89aaf0e
and would refuse booting - beginning with uniata commit
0.4.12-dev-937-g
b546130731
For sure this workaround is just a temporary and no proper solution,
but was confirmed to be working by "Illen".
We have no clear understanding of the real bug yet.
Can be replaced by something better at any time.
It was already committed into 0.4.12, 0.4.13, 0.4.14.
We never had an affected release therefore.
Since no one took care of this bug ever,
the workaround will now be committed to master as well.
cherry picked from commit 0.4.13-RC-9-g
11178f38e4
- Add boot video color constants
- Refactor palette initialization
- Move some common stuff in right place
- Get rid of some magic constants and hardcoded values
- Get rid of TopDelta variable (calculated at compile time)
- Update SAL annotations
Addendum to 5f2ca473. CORE-16216 CORE-16219
Also turn off debug messages to screen before setting up the CPU (To print a character to the screen on some ports the MMIO access should be executed, so it throws an exception).
CORE-16216
- Print message on failed memory allocations.
- Functions return error code instead of exit code.
- Convert error code to exit code in the main function only.
- Always free the allocated memory.
- Fix bug from previous commit: Use _tprintf instead _putts to print messages.
Remove WM_SYSKEYDOWN handling at component level, in consistency with other components (ListView,...)
Early embodiement of the fix proposed to WineHQ : https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49097 in order to remove functionnal limitation in ReactOS. CORE-17020
In addition to that, add the missing function prototypes in the DLL dialog header of Utilman, add missing IN/OUT annotations and remove CheckUtilityState() prototype which is barely used (it's not implemented either).
## Purpose
[SYSDM]
- When closing System Properties page, log show
(win32ss/user/ntuser/windc.c:749) err: [00060138] GetDC() without ReleaseDC()!
because GetDC() is called (multiple times) without properly calling ReleaseDC() as required in order to release a device context.
- This module also lacks some error management in case null DC are provided (on error).
- LiveCD Userinit, based on SYSDM is affected too.
[DESK]
- Fix missing ReleaseDC related to the spectrum (color depth)
## Proposed changes
- ReleaseDC() added.
- Error management in case of null DC.
- Overall alignement of LiveCD Userinit and SYSDM.
This prevents ReactOS asserting when 'My computer'
is opened, while it tries to send commands to floppy drive.
Many thanks to patches author Doug Lyons.
The regression was introduced by 0.4.13-dev-1081-g
eeff926ede
patch was committed to 0.4.13rls and 0.4.14rls as well.
Today it was committed to master as well, as
the initially planned investigation for the root cause
did still not happen and we can not afford the time
to retest and workaround this over and over again.
Thank god that Oleg Dubinskiy was still around to retest
this again and confirmed it can still happen, because
unlike initially, personally I was not able to reproduce it
today anymore!
Since every release was work-arounded, we did never
expose the bug in any final release.
- When exporting registry keys (to .reg files) some variables from the heap are not free'd while the debug log indicates "HEAP: Trying to free an invalid address".
- This is due to the export_registry_key() function that calls
HeapFree() for reg_key_name. But this variable is an argument provided by the caller, which is always a statically defined array of WCHAR.
- Meanwhile reg_key_name_buf is never free'd and cause a memory leak each time the function gets called.
In current implementation, when regedit opens HKCR root key, an error is logged
err:(dll/win32/advapi32/reg/hkcr.c:964) Returning 259.
This is not correct as the code 259 is ERROR_NO_MORE_ITEMS which is the nominal return value when end of enumeration is reached.
