I’ve been using the Winetests in Windows quite a lot
recently, both XP and Vista, and I’ve noticed that a lot of the tests
fail in Windows.
For anyone using the Winetests in reactos to fix our code,
it’s worth testing if these functions pass or fail in Windows first as we
might be breaking reactos to pass the winetests.
Also, one of the problems I’ve noticed is that some
tests fail on XP but pass in Vista, and vice versa.
Does anyone know Wine’s target OS? It seems that more
tests are passing in Vista than XP these days, so maybe they’ve moved to
a more recent target?
I think the best way to move forward with this is to find
out what version Wine target, fix any broken tests we come across and submit
them to Wine.
I don’t envisage any problem with Wine accepting fixed
test cases, even from the most hated of reactos devs.
Anyway, I just wanted to make people aware, _don’t
blindly trust Winetests when fixing reactos_
