WINE applications do not produce any trace

[Hi-Angel]

Initially I was trying to figure out a problem with invisible WOG menus in an old WINE/Windows game "Heroes Ⅲ: In The Wake Of Gods". After apitrace trace wine h3wog.exe I found out though there's no trace files. I tried both 32 and 64 bit apitrace.

Further experimenting shows that this isn't specific to Heroes Ⅲ, apitrace is unable to record even plain winecfg.

Tested both with latest release and latest master as of 538c5d3

Steps to reproduce

We run winecfg under apitrace, and once it showed up press Escape to close the window. Then check for trace files.

A completely new WINEPREFIX is used to make sure there's no dxvk or nine or anything like that.

 λ mkdir foo && cd foo
 λ WINEPREFIX=~/.winetest WINEDEBUG=-all ~/Projects/apitrace/build/apitrace trace winecfg

 λ ls

Expected

The ls at the end would show created trace files.

Actual

The ls at the end shows nothing.

Additional information

• OS: Archlinux

• Apitrace tested: 11.1-1 from distro (both 64 and 32 bit) and master build as of 538c5d3 (both 64 and 32 bit)

  • 64 bit: cmake . -Bbuild -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-fuse-ld=mold -DENABLE_GUI="no"
  • 32 bit: CC='gcc -m32' CXX='g++ -m32' PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/lib32/pkgconfig' cmake . -Bbuild32 -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-fuse-ld=mold -DLIB_SUFFIX=32 -DENABLE_GUI="no" -DBUILD_TESTING="no"

[Hi-Angel]

Idk if that's related, but I just tried using a Windows version of apitrace, and got the same result. I ran it as wine ~/Downloads/apitrace-11.1-win32/bin/apitrace.exe trace ./h3wog.exe, and then ^C-ed the game once it hanged. Afterwards ls *trace* gives "no matches" error.

Hello @Hi-Angel,
In my case the trace files are created in the user's Desktop directory, which can be found in the wineprefix through the symbolic link at drive_c/users/username/Desktop. Can you check that?
Regards.
