FYI,
I've traccked down my problems with running 32bit executables compiled using
mongw-w32-20090307 und Windows Xp x64 (SysWOW64 mode) to a bug in
gethostbyname() in SysWOW64, which is tracked by the forum entry:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/521a5524-5a5b-4de1-aec3-e12b93e25dbb/
The attached executable compiled using
i686-pc-mingw32-gcc gethostbynamesample.c -O2 -l ws2_32 -o
bin32/gethostbynamesample.exe
runs under WinXP x86, but crashes under WinXP x64/Server 2003 x64. The bug has
been fixed for Vista x64.
If compiled as a 64bit excutable everything works fine, just as expected ;-)
My question is: Is it possible to put write a workaround for this bug either by
modifying the atrtached test code or by adapting the gcc mingw-w32 toolchain?
TIA,
Wolfgang
