As I said before, the test is one that comes with gcc-4.0.2, it fails only on Windows as far as I know. To answer your question: is just a test, it should work with some Windows related tweaking but it's just a test. Besides, what other memory is there available that a process has under its control? Yes, I know, mmap() should be used w/o MAP_FIXED and let the OS choose where to map, but the interesting part of this test is to use MAP_FIXED. -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
