Dear folks, here is a few update: This bug was originally found with MSYS2, but I've confirm it happens on Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.1 2.2.1(0.289/5/3) 2015-08-20 11:40 i686 Cygwin) as well. For convenient of compile&test I'm mostly debugging on MSYS2, which is rebased above the below Cygwin commit:
commit 7f3efa3b65e50b35d4e9f895e625e0878edc196a Author: Corinna Vinschen Date: Tue Aug 25 22:23:01 2015 +0200 winsup.h: Claim Windows 10 support In theory the testing result should be similar enough to recent Cygwin. Forgive me for not compiling Cygwin, I can do that again if anyone ask. Here is some update of debugging information: I added a breakpoint in pinfo::maybe_set_exit_code_from_windows, and started `script -e -c "exit 5"`, with my customer compiled script.exe from util-linux. script.exe hits the breakpoints twice in every debugging session. The following statements are for the first hit point since I found different status in the first hit point for different script.exe exit status. >From my test, whenever script.exe forwards the exit status correctly (returns 5), oexitcode in pinfo::maybe_set_exit_code_from_windows is set to 0x8000500; whenever script.exe forwards the exit status wrongly (returns 0), oexitcode in pinfo::maybe_set_exit_code_from_windows is set to 0x0. Here is some debugging log (gdb) r Starting program: /scripts2/util-linux/src/build-i686-pc-msys/script.exe -e -c "exit 5" [New Thread 253.0x106] [New Thread 253.0xb7] [New Thread 253.0x88] Script started, file is typescript Script done, file is typescript [Switching to Thread 253.0x88] Breakpoint 1, pinfo::maybe_set_exit_code_from_windows()@4 (this=0xa0b70c) at /scripts2/msys2-runtime/src/msys2-runtime/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc:183 183 DWORD x = 0xdeadbeef; (gdb) n 184 DWORD oexitcode = self->exitcode; (gdb) 186 if (hProcess && !(self->exitcode & EXITCODE_SET)) (gdb) p/x oexitcode $3 = 0x0 (gdb) bt #0 pinfo::maybe_set_exit_code_from_windows()@4 (this=0xa0b70c) at /scripts2/msys2-runtime/src/msys2-runtime/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc:186 #1 0x610c51b1 in proc_waiter (arg=0x611cae80 <cprocs>) at /scripts2/msys2-runtime/src/msys2-runtime/winsup/cygwin/pinfo.cc:1042 #2 0x61004955 in cygthread::callfunc(bool)@8 (this=0x611b97f0 <threads+48>, issimplestub=false) at /scripts2/msys2-runtime/src/msys2-runtime/winsup/cygwin/cygthread.cc:51 #3 0x61004ae0 in cygthread::stub(void*)@4 (arg=0x611b97f0 <threads+48>) at /scripts2/msys2-runtime/src/msys2-runtime/winsup/cygwin/cygthread.cc:93 #4 0x610058bd in _cygtls::call2(unsigned long (*)(void*, void*), void*, void*)@16 (this=0xa0ce64, func=0x6100495a <cygthread::stub(void*)@4>, arg=0x611b97f0 <threads+48>, buf=0xa0b818) at /scripts2/msys2-runtime/src/msys2-runtime/winsup/cygwin/cygtls.cc:111 #5 0x61005726 in _cygtls::call (func=0x6100495a <cygthread::stub(void*)@4>, arg=0x611b97f0 <threads+48>) at /scripts2/msys2-runtime/src/msys2-runtime/winsup/cygwin/cygtls.cc:30 #6 0x6108d5e2 in threadfunc_fe (arg=0x611b97f0 <threads+48>) at /scripts2/msys2-runtime/src/msys2-runtime/winsup/cygwin/init.cc:32 #7 0x7bc83d80 in ??
