I wasn't referring to the specific case that you reported. I was just referring to my grep which found many cases where an errno value was being returned. As Robert indicated, in the vast majority of those cases, this was, in fact, the right thing to do. It's apparently not the right thing to do in the case of sem_trywait, so a patch will be required: http://cygwin.com/contrib.html . cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
