Hello. We seem to be having difficulty when two Cygwin processes are
started simultaneously (or in close succession) on multiprocessor
Windows 2003 systems. The problem manifests as this error:
c:\cygwin\bin\which.exe (3824): *** system shared memory version
mismatch
detected - 0x0/0x75BE007F.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the
cygwin DLL. Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows
Start-Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent
version. The most recent version *should* reside in
x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed
the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you are
unable to find another cygwin DLL.
Looking at the code I can't see any way that this error could ever occur
but, then, the code that produced this error was actually wrong.
I just checked in a minor rewrite around this error message. I don't know
if it will fix this problem or not. I couldn't duplicate your problem
here,
FWIW.
This will be in the next cygwin snapshot: http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ .
cgf
Thanks very much for your prompt response.
I downloaded 4/21/05 snapshot (uname reports 1.5.16s).
My test case still fails, but far less frequently. It now takes
several hours of runs (several 10s of thousands of iterations) and
then fails on 'user shared memory size' mismatch, instead of 'system
shared memory version':
c:\cygwin\bin\which.exe (3712):
*** user shared memory size mismatch detected 0x0/0xA65C.
Looking at shared.cc:user_shared_initialize(), it looks like there may
be a window of vulnerability, because it doesn't appear to have the
same InterlockedExchange protecting its 'version' member that the
SH_CYGWIN_SHARE location does:
/* Initialize the Cygwin per-user shared, if necessary */
if (!user_shared-version)
{
user_shared-version = USER_VERSION_MAGIC;
debug_printf (initializing user shared);
user_shared-cb = sizeof (*user_shared);
...
In particular, if a second proces is unlucky enough to try to open
user_shared right after 'version' was set but before 'cb', couldn't it
fail with the error I saw above?
I'm also wondering if some of the other shared memory locations
without locks are potentially open to startup races:
SH_SHARED_CONSOLE -
In fhandler_console::get_tty_stuff(), without an
InterlockedExchange, could two processes each race past the check on
the 'tty_min_state.ntty' member and then step on each other trying
to setsid()?
SH_MYSELF -
In pinfo::init(), is it possible that 'process_state' and 'pid'
could get corrupted without an interlock?
Thanks again for your help.

Using shutdown-1.6-1 does not seem to shutdown!!!
I have tried shutdown-1.6-1. Now it seems to work in the sense that shutdown now shutdown 5 ... 30 etc. starts the procedure of shutdown, i.e. disconnets the user, saves the configuration... . When it seems it is being to turn off the PC, Windows says (in low resoultion) Now it is possible to turn off the computer and I must press the switch off button more than five seconds to turn off the PC! (Until now I never used this method to switch off the PC.) (reboot works as the name says: reboot!) If this is the correct behaviour of shutdown 1.6-1, it would not be good. It would have lost its utility. For example, I often start the PC to make a long work at the end of which the computer should turn off without my presence (in the night,often). With this shutdown-1.6-1, this is not more possible. shutdown-1.4-1 and cygwin (until) 1.5.12-1 give no problems!

Changes since 0.15.0-4 -- pkg-config 0.17.2 - Don't go into an infinite loop allocating more and more memory when the same name is specified twice on the command line and we're in direct dependencies only-mode. pkg-config 0.17.1 - Now actually sets CFLAGS and LIBS instead of trying to set those in a subshell. (Only affects if you've autoreconfiscated with 0.17) - Fix detection of inter-library dependencies. pkg-config 0.17 - Evaluate second argument to PKG_CHECK_MODULES again - Portability fixes (MacOS, BeOS, Cygwin) - Handle inter-library dependencies and assume those are in place if the platform supports them. Disable with --enable-indirect-deps. - Add initial test framework - Build fixes (make distcheck now works) pkg-config 0.16 - Use a search path, rather than a single default directory. - Fix a bunch of bugs in glib by backporting - More man page fixes - Lots of small fixes and cleanups over the place. --Chuck To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

possible DLL license violations
I ran across a tool called Trader's Little Helper at http://thor.prohosting.com/roh0205/ that includes the cygwin1.dll, but doesn't provide source code. Even worse, it puts cygwin1.dll in C:\WINDOWS! I then did a search of my hard drive for other copies and was surprised to find a few more. They are apparently installed to get support for the shorten command-line tool (http://shnutils.freeshell.org/shorten/).

Re: How do I solve/work around Resource temporarily unavailable (RESOLVED)
I found what seems to be the cause of the resource leak, at least for the XP computers involved. Aventail Connect (a VPN client) seems to have been involved since removing it from the system fixed the problem. It seemed odd that using msconfig to start up with only essential drivers and no services still resulted in the leak.

Actually, MSYS is a branch from some old version of Cygwin, 1.3.xx, dunno exactly, with a few patches applied to work without registry and stuff like that. I guess it would be better for a Cygwince project to stick with MSYS for a couple of reasons. For instance, it never changed to 64 bit file access, it doesn't have lots of NT specific code, it has not such a complex implementation of security considerations. All in all, MSYS is probably the better base for developing a lean CE Cygwin. I'd suggest to contact the MSYS development team on sourceforge.

Your best bet at this stage would be to re-run setup.exe, and just click all the way through to the package selection; choose Reinstall next to the All category, don't click anything else, and let it go.

Cygwince
Hello Everyone: This posting is sure to incur the wrath of Christopher Faylor. While I'm sorry about that, this time it just can't be helped. After many years of developing GNU tools and infrastructure for Windows CE 3.0+, we have decided that we need the functionality that Cygwin provides. We already have an extended newlib that we've built that gives us significant POSIX functionality on CE. But what we really want to do is run Bash, and that means we need fork()/vfork() and the other more advanced functionality that only Cygwin provides. Thus, we are setting out to create Cygwince. We are not naive in trying to do a Cygwin port to CE. We know that: 1. CE has no console device. This does not bother us because we will be using the system primarily via rlogin as our CE device has no screen. We'll have to plumb around the missing console device, but that is not expected to be a big problem. 2. Implementing fork() on CE was well nigh impossible until very recently. But as of CE.NET 4.0, the all-important DuplicateHandle() system call is now available and supposedly has the expected behavior. We believe this means that CE 4.0+ has the required infrastructure to support the Cygwin fork()/vfork() implementation. We are pretty sure that we can get the Cygwin DLL to run well on CE 4.0+. We have only some questions about X86 asm statements in the fork() implementation. We would like one of the experts (e.g. cgf) to annotate (with source code comments) the asm statements in the fork code. This is all we need - we just need to understand what these statements are supposed to do so that we can make the same things happen on Xscale. We are going to be starting with the mingw version of Cygwin - MSYS - primarily to try to keep the size of the DLL down. Another reason for starting from this distribution is that MSYS has a version of bash and the utilities that all come together in a fairly tidy bundle. The Cygwin people should make a decision as to whether we should submit patches for Windows CE to the Cygwin project. We are of course going to make all the results of our efforts publicly available, after all we have to do this. But we are also willing to cooperate with the Cygwin project to the extent that is deemed necessary/desirable.

You can either set it in the batch file that starts your shell or globally in Windows.

The above (XP/Control Panel) is what I actually do. It is also possible that the below might work, but I haven't tried it. man bash / INVOCATION says that when bash is started as a login shell, /etc/profile is always read; you could set it there. You could also put a .bashrc in C:\Documents and Settings\xpto, have it export HOME=/home/xpto, and then source ~/.bashrc or whatever you want to happen next. Or see http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mkpasswd for hints on setting it in /etc/passwd.

This would be a terrible mistake, since MSYS has nothing to do with cygwin whatsoever but is an entirely separate and unrelated port of gnu tools to windoze. Although to be fair, it _will_ achieve your stated goal of keeping the .dll size downg cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/

You may find that properly implementing d_type slows down readdir() but speeds up applications. Most applications that use readdir() are doing so in the Let's assume we implement d_type. It's not just done with implementing DT_REG and DT_DIR, you would also have to implement DT_CHR, DT_SOCK, DT_FIFO, etc. All of these require to open the file and read it(!) to find out what type they are. This is a pretty nasty slowdown in readdir. Most applications that use readdir() are doing so in the context of directory traversal, and have to do a followup stat or lstat to find out the type if readdir() doesn't tell them. I'm pretty confident that this assumption is incorrect and one reason for this is that d_type isn't even mentioned once in the standards. Also, some of the most important applications, ls(1) or find(1) wouldn't be sped up, but slowed down if you specify any additional information flag as, say, -l for ls, or anything except -type or -name for find. The effect would be that you slow down most applications which use readdir/stat, to speed up a couple of corner cases. Actually, I'm not entirely against implementing d_type, but as far as I can see, it's not done with implementing it and forget about it. If you want a *real* speed up, you would have to take measures, so that the same information isn't retrieved over and over again. For instance, if each call to readdir or stat would store the information in a stat-cache, then later calls on the same file could get the information from the cache. However, that's just a rough idea with a couple of caveats, so don't expect any quick change. As long as we don't have something like this, I would not like to see d_type implemented.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: shutdown-1.7-1
I've just updated the version of shutdown to 1.7-1. This version adds the -x/--exitex option, which allows to use the ExitWindowsEx function on Windows NT. This is important if shutdown is supposed to poweroff on Windows 2000, since the InitiateSystemShutdown implementation on Windows 2000 unfortunately misses to do this. This version also calls InitiateSystemShutdown on NT 4 and older only, InitiateSystemShutdownEx otherwise. This will result in a more correct event log entry (Planned shutdown, other reason) beginning with XP. Again, for all who still didn't read this, here's the release message for 1.5-1: On Windows NT systems, shutdown now uses InitiateSystemShutdown to start system shutdowns and reboots. This function has several advantages. It allows to specify a time until shutdown, it opens a dialog in each user's session that a shutdown is in progress, it adds an entry to the event log and last but not least, unless you specified a too short time period, it allows to abort the shutdown by calling the AbortSystemShutdown function. Consequentially, this version of shutdown adds a new option: $ shutdown --abort (or just -a) which (on NT only) allows to abort a shutdown in progress. This, too, opens a dialog window in each user's session to inform the users that the shutdown has been aborted. Other than that, `shutdown --help' gives you all information you need.

I didn't say that the patch would be accepted. IMO, having an actual
patch in hand would make it easier to review the suggestion, and, if
necessary, to articulate the reasons for rejecting it. Also, if the OP
had tried the actual patch, he would have realized that, with all the
missing features added, the patch would not be quite as trivial as he
imagined.

Even worse, it puts cygwin1.dll in C:\WINDOWS! I succeeded in contacting the author of this tool this morning and I informed him of the problems and directed him to the cygwin site for more information. I didn't attempt to contact any of the authors of the other packages. The author of Trader's Little Helper responded to me. He basically said the following: 1. He doesn't think shorten or shntool are violating the GPL because they have been around for years. 2. He doesn't think he's violating the GPL because he's not linking to the cygwin DLL nor modifying it. IANAL, but I think that his second point is correct. I still think shorten and shntool are violating the GPL because they *are* linking to the DLL; it doesn't really matter that it hasn't been caught for years - there is no statue of limitations in the GPL. Well, he does provide sources for 'shorten' in 'shorten-3.6.0.tar.gz' but he doesn't for the version of 'cygwin1.dll' that he's distributing. Also, as you noted, he is clearly linked against 'cygwin1.dll', even if he doesn't realize it. As for the statement about not being in violation because of the long history of 'shorten' and friends, I admire his sense of humor. ;-) Overall, the response given is rather typical of those unfamiliar with the GPL and/or those who would rather not bother to understand it. But the fact is that ignoring a license doesn't mean you exempt from complying with it. 'shorten' and friends are violating the Cygwin license because he is distributing them with 'cygwin1.dll' and not providing the sources to the distributed Cygwin version. Seems to me he has four options here: 1. Add a link on his site to a tarball of the source used to build the version of the Cygwin DLL he's distributing. 2. Remove the 'cygwin1.dll' he's distributing and point users to the Cygwin site to install it. 3. Remove the Windows binary from his site. 4. Port 'shorten' and friends to Windows without using Cygwin. Any of these put him back in compliance with the GPL, if you don't consider the contents of the license file he distributes. (2) is the recommended route if he's going to keep using 'cygwin1.dll', though (1) is also legal. As to the license distributed with 'shorten', it's safe to ignore that, since it's more restrictive than the GPL and by linking in 'cygwin1.dll', he's GPL'd 'shorten' and anything that links in 'shorten's source. This is true even if he now chooses either (3) or (4) above as options going forward. The existing 'shorten' source and derivations of it are GPL'd and its license cannot be changed back to something more restrictive. Since he holds a copyright to the software, he's allowed to have alternative licenses as well which are more restrictive for the 'shorten' source if he wants but that doesn't extend to the Cygwin DLL nor does it mean that 'shorten' is not available under the GPL as well. So, to me it seems that only shorten and shntool are violating the GPL and not TLH, dBpowerAMP, nor the Nero SHN plugin. Agreed for 'shorten'. I haven't looked at any of the other things you list here so I can't comment on those. Oh, of course I'm obliged to say IANAL. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Updated: pkgconfig-0.17.2-1
pkgconfig is a tool used for managing the configuration information of OTHER packages. This is a routine update to the latest upstream version, 0.17.2. Changes since 0.15.0-4 -- pkg-config 0.17.2 - Don't go into an infinite loop allocating more and more memory when the same name is specified twice on the command line and we're in direct dependencies only-mode. pkg-config 0.17.1 - Now actually sets CFLAGS and LIBS instead of trying to set those in a subshell. (Only affects if you've autoreconfiscated with 0.17) - Fix detection of inter-library dependencies. pkg-config 0.17 - Evaluate second argument to PKG_CHECK_MODULES again - Portability fixes (MacOS, BeOS, Cygwin) - Handle inter-library dependencies and assume those are in place if the platform supports them. Disable with --enable-indirect-deps. - Add initial test framework - Build fixes (make distcheck now works) pkg-config 0.16 - Use a search path, rather than a single default directory. - Fix a bunch of bugs in glib by backporting - More man page fixes - Lots of small fixes and cleanups over the place. --Chuck To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.

Updated: shutdown-1.7-1
I've just updated the version of shutdown to 1.7-1. This version adds the -x/--exitex option, which allows to use the ExitWindowsEx function on Windows NT. This is important if shutdown is supposed to poweroff on Windows 2000, since the InitiateSystemShutdown implementation on Windows 2000 unfortunately misses to do this. This version also calls InitiateSystemShutdown on NT 4 and older only, InitiateSystemShutdownEx otherwise. This will result in a more correct event log entry (Planned shutdown, other reason) beginning with XP. Again, for all who still didn't read this, here's the release message for 1.5-1: On Windows NT systems, shutdown now uses InitiateSystemShutdown to start system shutdowns and reboots. This function has several advantages. It allows to specify a time until shutdown, it opens a dialog in each user's session that a shutdown is in progress, it adds an entry to the event log and last but not least, unless you specified a too short time period, it allows to abort the shutdown by calling the AbortSystemShutdown function. Consequentially, this version of shutdown adds a new option: $ shutdown --abort (or just -a) which (on NT only) allows to abort a shutdown in progress. This, too, opens a dialog window in each user's session to inform the users that the shutdown has been aborted. Other than that, `shutdown --help' gives you all information you need.
