What is a stub?
Some examples of stub messages:
fixme:font:AddFontResource32A ("aricyr.ttf"): stub fixme:module:PatchCodeHandle (02b7): stub fixme:dsound:IDirectSound_SetCooperativeLevel (0x406740a4,00000528,3):stub fixme:module:FreeLibrary32 (0x408b0000): stub |
What does   fixme:module:FreeLibrary (0x40650000): stub   mean?
When a library is called, Windows increments the library usage counter of that library.
FreeLibrary should do nothing more than decrease this counter and unload the library if
this counter is zero. But as currently all libraries are linked in, these cannot be
unloaded. FreeLibrary will remain a stub for now.
What is a selector?
Selectors are something used by the Intel processors; they are basically handles
pointing to the (Local or Global) Selector Table, where you can find descriptors that
define the properties of memory segments (base address, size, type, access
rights, etc). For more detailed info I'd recommend the Intel manual or just about any
book on the Intel processor architecture.
Is wine an emulator or not?
Wine does not emulate Windows programs, it simply executes them,
providing an implementation for those Windows API routines that
are called by them. (This is the short explanation, in reality
it is somewhat more complicated :-/)
