Did someone mess with setup.ini on sourceware.org?
It looks like someone wiped out setup.ini and it was completely regenerated by upset. That doesn't work. There is still state stored in setup.ini. It is not completely generated from the release directory. Please DO NOT mess with setup.ini. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to touch this file. cgf
Tclsh: why exec replaces { with \{ ?
Or just how to make it getting rid of it?
It makes unable to, for example, run an awk program from inside Tcl script.
Try this:
exec -- echo This is {in braces}
On ActiveTcl this does not happen. I also saw exec replacing / with \, but now I am
not sure how to reproduce it.

Re: X startup hangs
ZoneAlarm is known to change the behaviour of Windows TCP/IP stack and this seems to cause troubles with cygwin since cygwin must provide unix like semantics and has problems if something does not work it was expected. But I tried shutting down Zonealarm-- X still hangs. Do you think it ss really a ZoneAlarm problem? So it is not a problem with insufficient rights to access the network (in fact xkbcomp does not need any network access) but a problem with different/unexpected behaviour of windows subsystems. I doubt this can be solved without digging into the startup code of the cygwin library where it stopped Can you help me solving just the xkb problem (which is not related to network)? I appreciate very much to work with my keyboard. Now i'm using 'startx -- -kb -clipboard' without -multiwindow the X starts hanged. After killing cat.exe, X is ready and I can use it. my little goal is to remove that -kb to regain my keyboard!

X starting difficulties
I just sat down with a colleague here who has never previously been able to run X on his XP laptop. I got it working, but *only* by doing this: /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -multiwindow - nothing else that I could think of could start X. (The laptops here typically have ZoneAlarm installed, but I don't think it's implicated this time since I was able to get X to work, as above.) His initial problem was the Cannot find font: fixed error. Once we followed the faq workaround for that (re-install the fonts), we began to make some progress. I tried several ways to start X, which all failed: From Cygwin bash shell: startx -- ... XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard ... winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1.

Recent X installation oddity
In the last couple of days, we've done several cygwin fresh installs and updates. In every case we get the X problem Cannot find font: fixed, afterwards. In every case, the directory C:/cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts exists, it contains the directory misc, that directory contains hundreds of files, yet we get the error message. And, as per the FAQ, we then have to umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, re-run setup, select all the X fonts, and choose reinstall. This is both on absolutely fresh machines (Windows XP just installed), and on an update to an older Cygwin system. (Which may have had the same problem before running setup again, admittedly.) Any idea what's wrong? It used to be that X normally worked after an install. Now it seems to fail with this problem each time. I'm planning to automate (as far as I can), the FAQ fixup, in our local post-install script. (Unfortunately, I don't think I can drive setup.exe from the command line to reinstall the fonts directly, can I? Are there files I could remove from the install afterwards, so that a second run of setup could be done that would find that the X fonts were gone and proceed to install them?) Also, I was wondering why /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is mounted anyway? Since / is mounted, you can reach it using that same path.

X failures if two users
If two people use the same machine, and the first starts X, the second person can't start X unless they have administrator rights. Cygwin sets /tmp to have mode drwxrwxrwt which means ordinary users can't remove /tmp/XWin.log if it's owned by someone else. So subsequent attempts to start X fail because it can't write the log file. My suggestion would be for X to create the file called /tmp/XWin.log.$USER luke PS: Note that unlike Unix, it is possible for a user to remove a file that some other user created in a directory with the above permissions, provided they have administrator privileges on a machine.

[RFC] Reference counting on Audio objects for /dev/dsp
Gerd,
I'd really like your comments on this patch. As I reported before, it
didn't quite work for me, but with the recent problems in testing another
(presumably working) patch, I suspect my test procedure isn't quite
correct anyway. The patch basically adds a (very problem-specific)
reference count to the Audio object(s), and doesn't delete the shared ones
until all pointers are gone. It doesn't seem to fix the bash redirection
problem, but does allow the dsp_dup_close testcase to run (again, I'd
like your opinion on whether it runs correctly).
The ChangeLog below is just for the record -- as I said, I don't expect
this to be checked in yet.
Igor

ChangeLog:
2004-07-06 Igor Pechtchanski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* fhandler_dsp.cc (fhandler_dev_dsp::Audio::reference_count_):
New instance variable.
(fhandler_dev_dsp::Audio::inc): New function. Increment the
reference_count_.
(fhandler_dev_dsp::Audio::dec): New function. Decrement the
reference_count_ and delete if zero.
(fhandler_dev_dsp::close): Replace delete with a call to dec().
(fhandler_dev_dsp::dup): Copy audio_in_ and audio_out_ and call
inc() on each.

Couldn't this be handled where, IMO, it should logically be handled, in the close function, e.g., if (!audio_out_-dec ()) delete audio_out_; ? Umm, that's actually a rather standard construct in reference counting (called object suicide -- you should get some references if you Google for object suicide reference counting). Yes, I thought that would be your answer, however, I don't like the idea of having a method called inc which just increments a count and a method called dec which decrements a count and, oh, hey, it might delete the object, too. It seems more straightforward to delete audio_out_ in the place where you'd expect it to be deleted rather than having a dec call which, if you check, you'll notice that it deletes the buffer. Or, as a compromise, don't call it 'dec'. Call it something which illustrates what it is doing. Right. I think the compromise is good -- I was thinking of maybe using registerReference() and releaseReference() (or deregister?). We could shorten them by removing Reference from the names, too. In any case, I'd wait for Gerd's input before deciding on the specific code to go in. That sounds good to me. Now we just need Gerd's ok. cgf

I have two examples where a forked child cannot access memory that was mmapped by the parent. The problem seems to arise when the parent munmaps some pages (different from the ones the child will try to access) before forking. In the example below, the parent mmaps 2 pages, munmaps the first page, writes to the second page and forks. Then both parent and child try to access the second page, the parent succeeds but the child dies trying. The examples work on Linux without the child dying. Has this problem been documented before and is there a known fix? Thanks. Thanks for the test case! It was very helpful. It turned out to be an off-by-one error in the child routine which generates the same memory protection layout as in the parent process. I've applied a fix and created a new developer snapshot.

Problem: Perl with connections using LWP Module
In an attempt to run a perl based web-application on Windows using Cygwin with Apache, I experience difficulties requesting content using the LWP module. The overall installation of Cygwin and the additional modules seems to be fine, since the call of the specific cgi-script from the command line works. Calling the cgi-script from within the browser I receive the following message: Can't connect to www.crossdesktop.de:80 (Bad protocol 'tcp') In my opinion, the difference between a call from the command line and a call by the browser may be the uid:gid being set differently. Therefore, I suppose a rights problem to appear here. In order to make sure user and group are set equally, in apache's httpd.conf I set user and group to the user and group I am in interactive mode. Unfortunately, the problem remains. As principally, the whole system environment seems to be setup working, I come to ask this question in the round. Can someone help?

Setup installing xerces libraries for no apparent reason
When checking for upgrades from ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin (View: partial), I noted that setup ver. 2.427 wanted to install libxerces-c21, libxerces-c22, and libxerces-c23. I hadn't had these before and wanted to see what was now requiring them, so I looked in setup.ini. The best I could tell, the only thing that requires them is xerces; I do not have xerces and nothing requires xerces. (In vim, /requires.*xerces goes only to xerces-c. I also checked setup.ini on ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ and it was identical. I have, in the recent past, played with using setup to install packages from http://cygwin-ports.sourceforge.net/install. I don't think I have anything from there installed, and setup.ini from there does not seem to include anything that requires xerces or its libraries. Although I can live with this annoyance (assuming that my chosen packages do not really require the xerces libraries), I'm reporting this in case this indicates a bug in setup. If the problem is really how I'm reading setup.ini or understand how setup works, I'd appreciate any education in what I've missed.

[BUG] mprotect() on Windows NT 5+
Hello dear Cygwin developpers !
This is my first post here, so I would like to begin by sending you a big thank
for Cygwin ! This is a great tool to port programs to Windows.
I think I found a bug in mprotect() implementation. This call is unable to set
some protections (PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE for example) on a given memory area,
while it can set some others (PROT_NONE or PROT_READ for example) on the same
memory area. From my tests, it seems to happen only on WNT5+ (ie. Windows 2000
and Windows XP - detailed results below).
I upgraded my whole Cygwin setup to confirm the problem is still alive. I also
searched the web, FAQ, and ML archive without success before posting here.
I wrote a simple testcase to allow you to reproduce the bug. You'll find the
source code as an attachement to this mail (to compile with gcc -o
testcase.exe testcase.c and to run with ./testcase.exe). This testcase
allocate a block of memory with mmap(), fill it with memset(), plays with its
protection with mprotect() and fill it again with memset().
I ran this test on various Windows flavour available around. Here are the
results :
Windows OSLang Result
- --
W98 French OK
WNT4 SP6 (Workstation)French OK
WNT4 SP6 (Server) French OK
W2K SP4 (Professional)French mprotect() (3) failed : Invalid argument
W2K SP4 (Advanced server) French mprotect() (3) failed : Invalid argument
WXP SP1 (Professional)French mprotect() (3) failed : Invalid argument
Of course I'm ready to dig more if needed. But I really need some help since
I'm not familiar with Cygwin source code, nor with Windows developpement.
For the curious, I discovered this bug while trying to support ARAnyM's m68k
JIT compiler on Cygwin. ARAnyM (http://aranym.atari.org) is a free (GPLed)
virtual Atari-compatible system.

The cause is a limitation in newer Windows NT versions, which make sense. Well, sort of. The protection modes PAGE_READWRITE and PAGE_WRITECOPY are mutually exlusive, which is enforced in calls to VirtualProtect since W2K. Since your example uses MAP_PRIVATE, which Cygwin maps to PAGE_WRITECOPY, trying to protect with MAP_WRITE, which internally maps to PAGE_READWRTE, fails on W2K and later. I've checked in a fix, so that mprotect tests for the original protection mode of the first page in the area, and uses READWRITE or WRITECOPY, whichever matches the original protection.

mmap bug on Windows 9x
On Windows 9x/ME different calls to mmap sometimes produce the same address (without that memory being unmapped in the meantime, at least not by application code). Here's a trace of the application calls to mmap (on WME): try mmap($0, $400038, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$8395 try mmap($8395, $2cfd0, ..., MAP_FIXED|MAP_FILE, imagefile, 0); failed: Not enough core try mmap($83d52000, $400038, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$8395 try mmap($83d52000, $4000, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$83d51000 try mmap($83d56000, $4000, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$83d55000 try mmap($83d5a000, $3c00, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$83d59000 try mmap($83d5e000, $3a00, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$83466000 try mmap($8346b000, $4, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$83d6 try mmap($83da1000, $4, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$83d6 Note that the last two calls produce the same address. This happens with cygwin1.dll versions 1.5.5-1 and 1.5.10-3 (and probably also with 1.3.22-1). On Windows 2000 (with cygwin1.dll 1.3.22) the same application produces the following trace: try mmap($0, $400038, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$65 try mmap($65, $2cfd0, ..., MAP_FIXED|MAP_FILE, imagefile, 0); failed: Value too large for defined data type try mmap($a52000, $400038, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$a6 try mmap($e62000, $4000, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$a51000 try mmap($a56000, $4000, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$a55000 try mmap($a5a000, $3c00, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$a59000 try mmap($a5e000, $3a00, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$e61000 try mmap($e66000, $4, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$e7 try mmap($eb1000, $4, ..., MAP_ANON, ...); success, address=$eb and everything works fine. In this posting I just want to check if the bug is already known. If not, I will condense the application to something that exhibits the bug. Or, if you feel adventurous, you can deal with the full application: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/gforth-0.6.2.tar.gz (also available from GNU mirrors); you get the trace output above if you build gforth with gcc-3.3 and call it with --debug.

RE: maintaner of gcc
And, -mno-cygwin does not work with Timidity, so I thought perhaps Gcc 3.4.1 might be better. There have been tons of fixes to the 3.4 series. I'll try and get back on the gcc maintainers list and work with gcc 3.5 to improve it even further for Cygwin and Windows. Gcc 3.3.1 will compile Timidity 2.13.0 and CVS, but I get problems with the mingw portion. Visual Studio complains, so I can't use it to make a GUI version of Timidity.

Re: [BUG] mprotect() on Windows NT 5+
Hello Corinna, Selon Corinna Vinschen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The cause is a limitation in newer Windows NT versions, which make sense. Well, sort of. The protection modes PAGE_READWRITE and PAGE_WRITECOPY are mutually exlusive, which is enforced in calls to VirtualProtect since W2K. Since your example uses MAP_PRIVATE, which Cygwin maps to PAGE_WRITECOPY, trying to protect with MAP_WRITE, which internally maps to PAGE_READWRTE, fails on W2K and later. I've checked in a fix, so that mprotect tests for the original protection mode of the first page in the area, and uses READWRITE or WRITECOPY, whichever matches the original protection. Whow! That's amazing! I didn't expect to get a reply today. Even less a fix commited to CVS. If all bugs last only 51 minutes in Cygwin, this software will quickly become perfect! Thanks _a lot_ Corinna !

gcc 3.3.1-3 runtime error: static data storage size
I have the following example to propose:
/** aa.c **/
#define NXY 5000
#define NXY 7000
int xy[NXY][NXY];
main(){
printf(ok\n);
}
This will work when NXY=5000, but will generate a SIGSEV exception before
reaching the first statement when NXY=7000.
The array in the faulty case is 187MB. The gcc documentation gives 2GB as
the limit for having to switch to dynamic allocation. Any fixes? or
relevant compiler options possibly available?
Thanks.

Re: rsync very slow, but not a network issue
Reini (and Steven), Okay, I get. This benchmark you introduced below compares rsync on two variables: copy speed locally vs over the network, and copy speed for copies onto indentical target files vs different target files. And your benchmark showed that rsync was faster for copies onto pre-existing target files -- just as rsync is supposed to be. I just ran the same benchmark on my side and I get exactly the opposite results. For what it's worth, here's what I got. I started with two different binary files (based on different mp3's) each of size 434006. %[local copy, target file is different ] %time rsync test1.mp3 test2.mp3 real 0m6.422s user 0m0.430s sys 0m1.431s %[local copy, target file is the same ] %time rsync test1.mp3 test1-same.mp3 real 0m6.523s user 0m0.300s sys 0m1.261s %cp test2.bak test2.mp3 %[network copy, a pure copy with scp for benchmark] %time scp test2.mp3 $TEST: 260.6KB/s (calculated average) real 0m16.257s user 0m0.510s sys 0m1.091s %[network copy, target file is different ] %time rsync test1.mp3 $TEST:test2.mp3 real 0m13.797s user 0m1.421s sys 0m1.250s % (network copy, files are 100% the same) % (repeated twice to guarantee target file is there) %time rsync test2.mp3 $TEST:test2.bak real 0m28.329s user 0m1.390s sys 0m4.766s %rsync --version rsync version 2.6.2 protocol version 28 ssh $TEST rsync --version rsync version 2.6.2 protocol version 28 $ ssh -V OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 $ ssh $TEST ssh -V OpenSSH_3.7.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, Open SSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 (but ssh -v reports TEST's sshd server is responding with OpenSSH_3.6.1p1+CAN-2003-0693, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, Open SSL 0x0090702f ) $ uname -r 1.5.10(0.116/4/2) As you can see, my network copy onto an identical waiting file is taking almost twice as long as a network copy onto a _different_ waiting file, and is also substantially slower than a pure copy. So I'm experiencing a net rsync slowdown rather than a speedup. Is it the processor? Thorsten Kampe And Steven Hartland suggested the problem is in effect that my computer is too slow, and that I should turn off all checksumming. I seem to have more bandwidth to my TEST machine than you, so I suppose my processor might be the bottleneck for me but not for you, which would explain our different results. How fast was your machine? Or Is it cygwin? I notice that the enormous slowdown for the network copy onto an identical target is all appearing in the 'real' component of the time's timing report, and that there's a bit of extra time in 'sys' but other than that there's nothing to account for it. I'm not sure how to interpret that. Would cygwin-specific delays appear in 'sys'? In other words, does this mean the checksums are using up all the time, and confirm that my processors are too slow to benefit from rsync?

rxvt/bash tab problem
If at a fresh bash prompt in an rxvt window (non-X) you type a TAB, nothing happens, and no input from the keyboard appears thereafter, until you use CTRL-C to interrupt whatever has blocked. If you then type, input is working again. But if you hit TAB twice in quick succession, you'll find that no input appears (again), and that while you can use CTRL-C to get a fresh prompt, input no longer works in the rxvt window. You have to kill the window - it has become useless.

You have to kill the window - it has become useless. This is untrue. I just discovered that if you wait long enough, the input is echoed and the rxvt becomes normal again. If you type another CTRL-C, you get a fresh prompt, but still no input echoed. If you hit CTRL-C *again*, then everything you typed gets passed through to the shell and acted upon! (I.e. the input hasn't been flushed by the CTRL-C, and there is some process/thread that ignores the interrupt and refuses to echo the input as it occurs.) luke -- 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/

But the consequence is that after exim is installed, it won't work: there's more work to do. That may be fair enough. The missing piece of information for me was that exim-config needs to be run before you can use exim. (Perhaps exim-config even checks for the mkpasswd -l step to have been done?) Anyway, I think that's basically fair enough. It would be nice if exim *itself* reported that running exim-config might be a good idea. (Is exim-config used on other platforms besides cygwin?) But probably I'd need to run exim-config to have a serious chance of success? It's only required if you operate a mail server, but in this case it will set the permissions correctly. The reason why you don't see the rights (previous e-mail in thread) is most likely that you get them indirectly through membership in a group. That's true. If you are curious about that, the User control panel is your best bet. Yep, if you look at that you can see which group (Administrators, Power Users, or Restricted Users) you're in. editrights won't tell you that, as far as I can see.

How do *you* write portable shell scripts?
Thinking about this:
It would be nice if exim *itself* reported that running exim-config
might be a good idea. (Is exim-config used on other platforms besides
cygwin?)
made me wonder what other people on this list do, to write portable
shell scripts?
In a shell script, is there an accepted way to detect you're running
Windows, so you can make necessary adjustments?
One day, I'd like all the hundreds of scripts that we've written locally
and which are still in use, to work as-is under Cygwin.
Attached is the klunky script I use to help with that. (These days, it
seems I don't need DEVNULL and DEVTTY, so I confess I've stopped using
them ...)

ssmtp man page (Was: Re: sending email from Cygwin)
On 15 Jul, Corinna Vinschen wrote: Incidentally is it appropriate to include Cygwin-port-specific information in a man page? Well, from a user perspective it might be cool, but IMHO the original man page shouldn't be changed, unless it's a change which should be send upstream anyway. We have the Cygwin specific documentation in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin (resp. /usr/doc/Cygwin in earlier releases) for a long time now. It should be not too hard to ask users to look there for Cygwin specific docs. Corinna Can you think of a way of incorporating the material in the man page that would be palatable upstream? How do you think people would feel about a section PORTABILITY or NOTES or even WINDOWS or CYGWIN? The above question is relevant to a patch for the ssmtp man page. If ssmtp uses ssmtp-config on most platforms it works on, then I can just write a patch that includes both fixes. If not, I can just fix one thing: the mention of /usr/lib/sendmail instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail. (I'm told that the latter is the standard location to find sendmail, these days). This is a usability issue. It's hard enough to teach people to type: man command-name teaching them to type: more /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-0.x.y/README.ssmtp-0.x.y is even less likely.

X starting difficulties
I just sat down with a colleague here who has never previously been able to run X on his XP laptop. I got it working, but *only* by doing this: /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -multiwindow - nothing else that I could think of could start X. (The laptops here typically have ZoneAlarm installed, but I don't think it's implicated this time since I was able to get X to work, as above.)
