[PATCH suggestion] aclocal wrapper script loops forever if automake-devel or automake-stable is missing

There is no reason to limit the performance on Windows NT/2000/XP just because there would need to be a seperate routine for Windows 95/98/Me. I'm glad it sounds logical. Cygwin already has lots of code that is NT specific, e.g., CYGWIN=ntsec. I agree.

Re: DDraw Blt vs BltFast
Do you have to ? You could allow more functional platform in the source tree to have this new functionality while leaving the DOS based Windows at the current support. Yes - this will complicat matters and will probably need some kind of abstraction layer in the source to 'hide' the difference for most developer, but the gain for the more advanced platforms is certainly worth it On Tue, Mar 12, 2002 at 09:30:05AM +0100, Ralf Habacker wrote: I have done some analysing work with this and with the cygwin daemon (cygserver transport classes) there may be a way in the future to implement unix domain sockets with named pipes which speed up unix domain sockets up to 250 MB/s, as I have measured with a quick an dirty sample Fine.

Re: g++/static members/DLL problem
Kohn Emil Dan wrote:
Hello everyone,
I would like to report a problem with g++ static member initialization on
cygwin. I have a class in which I have a static data member. The
definition of that class resides in a DLL. That static member is
initialized in the corresponding .cpp file. However when I access it from
an application, I do not get the initialized value, instead I get just
garbage.
This is the case for all the global variables (and static members are global).
By the way, it's not a good idea to share other things than pointers,
Dll can shre only pointers. Here you have no warning message because
your variable (int) has the same size than a pointer.
Try to share an object to see.
A solution is to do :
tbar *Foo_bar;
class Foo {
public:
static void init();
static void done();
};
void Foo::init()
{
Foo_bar = new tbar(17);
}
void Foo::done()
{
delete Foo_bar;
}
int main()
{
Foo::init();
printf(Foo::bar=%d\n, *Foo_bar);
Foo::done();
return 0;

I am experience a problem where mmap does not return -1, but the
pointer returned is not to a valid chunk of memory. I have included a
sample program, the output that I see, and the output of cygcheck

I have tried this program both with and withouth the registry setting
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\heap_chunk_in_mb
which, when set, I have set to 512Mb. BTW, I notice that this
registry value isn't checked for by cygcheck. That would seem
useful.
Even if I got the registry setting wrong, I would expect mmap to
return -1 if it is unable to get the space.
This registry setting has absolutely no effect on mmap(). It affects
the application heap but the mmap memory is taken from the shared memory
area of the system which isn't controlled by Cygwin but only by Win32
itself.
I ran your below test application with slightly different values in
the `try' calls to reflect the size of the page file in my box.
However, before talking further about this I'd like you to run your
below test application again but this time under strace. Could
you please send the strace output to this list (it's not that long)?

If I start rxvt as just C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e
c:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe --login I get Hmm.. tady barvy nejdou !
When I change the TERM=rxvt
I get 'KEY_BACKSPACE' - 263 - ^G too when pressing the backspace key.
Where is problem???
It can be a combination of several factors choose the ones that applies:
o Your presumptions about what the results should be
o Your rxvt configuration (or lack hereof)
o Not reading the documentation (man rxvt)
o Not understanding the manpage
o Overlooking the section about backspacekey
o Not searching the mailing lists archives
Note my .Xdefaults look like this:
$ cat ~/.Xdefaults
XTerm.scrollBar: False
XTerm.saveLines: 2000
XTerm.font: Lucida Console-16
Rxvt.backspacekey: ^H

RE: proprietary-use license?
Hi Markus, all programs that you mention (MySQL, Cygwin, PostgreSQL) are released under free licenses. You do not have to pay per-seat charges for any of these as long as you do not buy professional support. this is not generally true for MySQL and Cygwin. Both are only free if you GPL your software too. There are some additional conditions where you might not have to buy a license, but you may have a look at the license information of both products yourself.

Thank you for all your responses. I figured out a way to solve the problem. Originally I stored all the files on an ancient Next file server. According to a warning message from Matlab, it may have timestamp problems. ``This server appears to support UNIX-style directory timestamp updates.'' Now, I moved the source to a NT file server.

Re: Strange behaviour of vpath with dos paths
Soren Andersen wrote: On 28 Feb 2002 at 11:24, Colm Aengus Murphy wrote: Hi Johan, I took a quick look at source code for make 3.79.1-5. It looks to me like vpath.c (build_vpath_lists) does conversion of Win32 paths to posix ones for the VPATH variable but not for vpath. Not being a software programmer I'm not in a position to provide a patch, but maybe someone else could ? Colm A I am not a software programmer either ;-) (irregardless of the apparent assumptions made about me in the past on this List) -- at least not really a C programmer (rather, japh-er) but I will take a look at this and see if I can fix it. Mind you, I wouldn't hold my breath or base my plans for a major product roll-out on my quick success; I have not yet ever tried to build `make' from source, so that's the first and possibly not trivial hurdle. Maybe somebody else will therefore get there before me, but I thought I'd offer you assurance now that at least one pair of eyeballs out here will be looking into this. Luck, Soren Andersen OK, here's some help. I suppose I dare call myself a programmer :), even though I haven't tried creating make from it's sources... In vpath.c lines 103-112 the CygWin specific path conversion is taken care of in the VPATH variable case. In the GPATH variable case (line 138-154), it looks like GPATH is not converted either. This would need some testing, but I suppose GPATH is hardly a regularly used feature... Copying lines 101-114 after line 146 should take care of that omission; the variable 'posixp' has been defines and used previously, but should still be in scope (lines 64-66), so it may be doubly used (unclean, but workable). The vpath directive is processed somwhere else. The only occurrence of the function 'construct_vpath_list' outside of vpath.c (and make.h for a prototype) is read.c In read.c lines 637-656, the directive is processed. And, alas, no CygWin processing of DOS-like paths there. Copying the same lines from vpath.c into read.c after line 652 might be all that's needed, but without actually doing the work+test, it's hard to tell whether everything is in scope. Be sure to define a variable 'posixp' in this case, however. If I find a few free minutes, I'll continue from here, but maybe this is enough input for you already.

What are the issues involved? If so, what can I do to help? I've already made a patch to gcc to build 3.1 under Cygwin using the 2.95 compiler (had to make some modifications for line endings and its only in the mainline right now). But I couldn't get C++ or Objective-C to work with the resulting 3.1-beta compiler...

Re: gcc bug, cygwin specific cygwin-1.3.10-1 gcc-2.95.3-5
hi,
i think i have found a bug, either that or i am very stupid. the bug is a
gcc bug and it is cygwin specific (cygwin-1.3.10-1 gcc-2.95.3-5) and the
following code causes a seg fault:
---
int end;
int main ()
{
end = 1;
return 0;
}
The global 'end' is a reserved word. It refers to the end of the data
area. That means you can't use it as a global variable in your program.
reserved for what ? for gcc ? i didn't think end was a reserved word for the C
language and i didn't think it is a reserved word for gcc either as it would
compile and execute with gcc under non-cygwin (linux) environment. could someone
clarify this ?
cheers,
alex

No, I didn't overlook it, it's exactly what I've been seeing on my machine as well as I mentioned yesterday. If you look into the strace you'll see that MapViewOfFileEx() returns a valid memory area. And no, it does *not* return an error code. MapViewOfFileEx() is reliable enough to not return a memory area and an error code. The failing function is a following VirtualProtect() which job is to set the memory protection on the allocated memory area correctly. And that's actually surprising. VirtualProtect() shouldn't have problems with memory since it doesn't allocate any. At least it shouldn't. But the real problem is that the page file is, well, full after the mmap() call. A following printf is trying to allocate a small amount of memory but allocation fails apparently and at one point a check for a failed malloc() is missing. So the SEGV is actually a followup of the fact that there isn't any memory left to allocate. Second, (may mean nothing) why is h:188 first and h:190 second time? Means nothing.
