Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I released a new TEST version of Cygwin. The version number is 2.2.0-0.5. New in this version: - In https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2015-q3/msg00010.html Roman Petrovski points out that RtlFillMemory and RtlCopyMemory only work for memory regions up to 2 Gigs. I took the opportunity to convert memset, memmove, memcpy, wmemset, wmemmove and wmemcpy to assembler code based on NetBSD code. Since I have no chance to do it this week, I plan to release 2.2.0-1 next Monday, if the above patch doesn't introduce new regressions. What's new: ----------- - New APIs: getcontext, setcontext, makecontext, swapcontext. - New functions: sigsetjmp, siglongjmp. These were only available as macros up to now, but POSIX requires that siglongjmp has to be available as function. What changed: ------------- - When started from a non-Cygwin process, check if $HOME starts with a slash (absolute POSIX path). Otherwise ignore it. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00344.html Bug Fixes --------- - Fix potential hang running ldd(1).
