gcc simple program crashing
I wrote, compiled and ran a very simple program today that is
producing the weirdest results. I began googling the errors and came
across multiple accounts of people experiencing the exact same
behavior. The program is just a simple dos/unix line termination
converter:
#include stdio.h
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int ch;
while ( (ch = getc(stdin)) ! feof(stdin) ) {
if (ch == '\n') {
putc('\n',stdout);
putc('\r',stdout);
} else putc(ch,stdout);
}
}
gcc -o filter.exe -c filter.c
The errors:
./filter.exe 8: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution
and sometimes:
--
16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem
--
~/dev
The NTVDM has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS: IP:0077 OP:f0 37 05 0e 02 Choose 'Close' to terminate the
application.
--
Also, when I run the program from a DOS box the cursor starts jumping
all over the screen and you have to kill the DOS box to stop it.
I've tried this under Cygwin and MinGW with same result.
I'm using gcc 3.2 series in both cases:
gcc --version
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)
Anyone know what is causing this behavior? Another poster with this
problem was using g++ (GCC) 3.1.1 20020718 (prerelease):

[ANNOUNCEMENT] NEW: mingw-zlib-1.1.4-4
I've made a new package available on sourceware: mingw-zlib contains the zlib distribution compiled using 'gcc -mno-cygwin' and installed into /usr/include/mingw/ and /usr/lib/mingw. It includes: usr/bin/mgwz.dll usr/include/mingw/zconf.h usr/include/mingw/zlib.h usr/lib/mingw/libz.a usr/lib/mingw/libz.dll.a and documentation. (Note that the dll is named 'mgwz.dll' to prevent conflicts with 'cygz.dll') The idea is for this library to be used by binaries that are part of the cygwin distribution, but which cannot use the cygwin kernel services -- such as setup.exe or cygcheck.exe, among others. I'd bet that most of those applications would probably want to link directly to libz.a or use 'ld -Bstatic -lz -Bdynamic' rather than link to dynamically, but we'll play that by ear. -- Chuck P.S. Yes, I know this didn't go thru the official process, but I got the impression that cgf wanted to include this functionality (e.g. the speedup of cygcheck via zlib library calls instead of zcat.exe) in the imminent release of cygwin-1.5.4, and I figured this would be fairly non-controversial.

File Not Found Problem on Install
I am trying to install cygwin on my computer(I have Windows ME) and every time I try to do so, the install program locks up at the screen where I am suppossed to choose the packages to install unless I hit next immediately when that screen appears. The lock up stil occurs even though I have turned off my anti-virus software. Secondly, when I am able to get past the choose package screen, I keep getting the error saying: Can't open C:\/ftp%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirrors.pair.com/release/ash/ash-20020731-3.tar.bz2.tmp for writing.

Re: [PATCH] gcc3/ld patch for direct-linking-to-dll and auto-import support
Hi Ralf, while compiling trolltechs qt/xfree library with gcc3 (3.2x) on cygwin I recognized, that the auto-import stuff in combination of recent ld does not work in case of const variables in a dll when using direct linking to a dll, because gcc put those variables into a readonly, that means the .text section.

Re: Cygwin doesn't show .. in all directories
I don't see it when I just mount to a directory (i.e. ls -al /usr/bin shows . and ..). I do see it if I mount a drive and then ls -al the newly mounted directory, regardless of the format (well NTFS or FAT, don't know about FAT32).

I have my F: mounted at /backup under Cygwin. When I 'ls -al /backup' there is no '.' or '..' entry in /backup, I guess because they are not there physically and hence not reported by Windows (FAT filesystems never have a '.' or '..' in the root directory as far as I know). On Linux, every directory, including the root directory '/', has a '.' and '..' entry, so I guess for consistency they ought to be there. This is an issue for me because in MToolsFM, which allows you to graphically browse your directories (plus browse directories via 'mtools'), you go up a directory by double-clicking on a '..' entry in the list of directory contents. I imagine that if MToolsFM was hacked to show a '..' entry even if it didn't see one in the filesystem, things would work, since 'cd ..' works fine when I am in the /backup directory (I guess Cygwin doesn't actually look for the directory entry '..', it just goes up a directory). Of course I don't know if it might be the case that applications shouldn't assume that all *nix-ish platforms have a directory entry pointing to the parent directory. Either way, please let me know!

Re: cygwin doesn't show .. in all directories
On Sun, Sep 07, 2003 at 10:58:22PM -0400, Christopher Faylor wrote: Do a dir c: and then, say, a dir c:\tmp and note the difference. Windows doesn't put a '.' and '..' in the root directories of drives. Cygwin uses whatever windows provides. FWIW, after six years, it suddenly occurred to me how to easily work around this Windows limitation in cygwin. So, I have checked in some code to rectify this behavior. I'm trying to generate a snapshot but I just updated my gcc to 3.3.1 and it is not a given that it will work right. I should have something up eventually. Any snapshot greater than or equal to 2003-08-08 should have this fix in it. http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.

Updated: pinfo-0.6.8-1
A updated version of pinfo is now available. This brings the package into conformance with the Filesystem Heirarchy Standard (FHS), with docs now in /usr/share/doc/, info files in /usr/share/info/, and so on. Pinfo is a lynx-like man and texinfo file viewer. It has fully configurable keyboard shortcuts and supports launching external viewers for URLs. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and click Next madly until you get to the end of the updating process. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

NEW: mingw-zlib-1.1.4-4
I've made a new package available on sourceware: mingw-zlib contains the zlib distribution compiled using 'gcc -mno-cygwin' and installed into /usr/include/mingw/ and /usr/lib/mingw. It includes: usr/bin/mgwz.dll usr/include/mingw/zconf.h usr/include/mingw/zlib.h usr/lib/mingw/libz.a usr/lib/mingw/libz.dll.a and documentation. (Note that the dll is named 'mgwz.dll' to prevent conflicts with 'cygz.dll') The idea is for this library to be used by binaries that are part of the cygwin distribution, but which cannot use the cygwin kernel services -- such as setup.exe or cygcheck.exe, among others. I'd bet that most of those applications would probably want to link directly to libz.a or use 'ld -Bstatic -lz -Bdynamic' rather than link to dynamically, but we'll play that by ear. -- Chuck P.S. Yes, I know this didn't go thru the official process, but I got the impression that cgf wanted to include this functionality (e.g. the speedup of cygcheck via zlib library calls instead of zcat.exe) in the imminent release of cygwin-1.5.4, and I figured this would be fairly non-controversial. To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.
