How to write to shared memory?

2010-10-20 Thread Cameron, Barrett
Hi,
I have a bash loop which I have significantly sped up by using:

for ((i=0;i=Z;i++)); do echo $i; done

instead of other format for loops as well as using internal math like:

NEWX=$(($EAST+$DX))

Instead of let or expr. This process is now heaps faster but I want to
echo the data to a file but not have to write to a file on each loop
cycle as it slows it down.

On native linux you would write:

echo $NEWX  /dev/shm/new 

and then at the end of all the loops at the end of the script write to a
file with:

cat /dev/shm/new  $OUT

-- Finally to the question. How do you do this with Cygwin?? 

Cheers,

Barrett.

Does

for ((i=0;i=Z;i++)); do echo $i; done  $OUT

Help? It at least avoids reopening the file every time.

TCL and Cygwin 1.7 symlinks

2010-10-20 Thread Jeremy Davies
 I know that Cywin TCL is not a 'real' Cygwin port, but I've noticed 
the following behaviour:


$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir x1
$ mkdir x1/foo
$ echo abc x1/foo/bar
$ mkdir x2
$ cd x2
$ ln -s ../x1/foo
$ cat foo/bar
abc
$ tclsh
% file normalize foo
C:/Cygwin/tmp/x1/foo
% file readlink foo
could not readlink foo: invalid argument
% exit
$ readlink foo
../x1/foo


There are three inconsistencies here:
- TCL 'file readlink' fails.  Fair enough, if the Cygwin TCL build 
doesn't understand Cygwin 1.7 symlinks (as suggested by the TCL FAQ 4.45).

- But TCL 'file normalize' is successfully resolving the symlink!
- Doublebut TCL 'file normalize' is not meant to resolve a symlink at 
the end of a path.  The normalized path should be 'C:/Cygwin/tmp/x2/foo'.


What's going on?

Jeremy

Re: Sending signals to a subprocess

Here's a test along those lines that does show a difference between
Linux and Cygwin:

   int pid, fd;
   pid = forkpty(fd, 0, 0, 0);

Thanks, Andy.  I had no idea how to do this.


On Linux, where it requires -lutil to link, this gives:

pid=13308 fd=3 tcgetpgrp(fd)=13308


I can confirm this on my Linux system.  I mention this because 
apparently tcgetpgrp isn't the same on all Linux systems.  See below.



On Cygwin:

pid=268 fd=3 tcgetpgrp(fd)=0


Corinna made tcgetpgrp return 0 instead of -1 in some circumstances (see 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2009-q4/msg00045.html) because 
she saw Linux doing that.  But when I run Corinna's test on my Linux 
system, I get -1 where she got 0.  So not all Linuxes agree on what 
tcgetpgrp should do.



Neither of those looks POSIX-compliant to me, because tcgetpgrp should
return -1 since fd 3 isn't the controlling terminal of the calling
process, but the Linux behaviour is rather useful. Perhaps they
decided to apply that restriction only to the slave side?

 Thanks, Andy.  I had no idea how to do this.

D'oh, I'd actually written a very similar test before, except there
I'd looked at the slave side of the pty only:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2009-10/msg00101.html

So here's a test trying tcgetpgrp on both sides:

#include stdlib.h
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
#include pty.h

int main(void) {
  int pid, master_fd, slave_fd;
  openpty(master_fd, slave_fd, 0, 0, 0);
  pid = fork();
  if (!pid) {
close(master_fd);
login_tty(slave_fd);
sleep(2);
  }
  else {
sleep(1);
printf(pid=%i tcgetpgrp(master_fd)=%i tcgetpgrp(slave_fd)=%i\n,
   pid, tcgetpgrp(master_fd), tcgetpgrp(slave_fd));
  }
}

Cygwin 1.5:
pid=1072 tcgetpgrp(master_fd)=1072 tcgetpgrp(slave_fd)=1072

Cygwin 1.7:
pid=2440 tcgetpgrp(master_fd)=0 tcgetpgrp(slave_fd)=-1

Linux:
pid=23238 tcgetpgrp(master_fd)=23238 tcgetpgrp(slave_fd)=-1

I think the luit/tcsh problem that triggered the change from 1.5 to
1.7 only concerned the slave side.


 On Linux, where it requires -lutil to link, this gives:

 pid=13308 fd=3 tcgetpgrp(fd)=13308

 I can confirm this on my Linux system.  I mention this because apparently

the child is forked and after it exited, so it's correct to report
that there's no foreground process.

I wonder which Linux it was that returned 0 in case of failure. I've
tried it on a recent Opensuse, an old Redhat with a 2.6.9 kernel, and
also a Debian with a 2.4 kernel, and got -1 on all of those.

  Also, you might also be running into this problem:

 No bash completion here:
 $ time bash -i -c echo

 And this wouldn't cause sh, m4 or perl scripts to run that slow like
 here, like all the autotools are incredible slow for me.

I'm clueless as to whether it is related or not, but I've been enjoying
a similarly bad slowdown on Win32 for about the last four weeks. I
wouldn't say that it renders Cygwin totally useless, but it certainly
does so for certain tasks which spawn a lot of processes, which is where
i think the problem lies.

Slowdown after update on Win32 (XP Home)
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-09/msg00893.html

But it might be a different one than what you are dealing with.

Turning on -x on the shell clearly shows that the slowdown is due to
process creation. Completion is out of the way, as I uninstalled it.
Security software is something I don't have.

 bash is noticeable slower with completion activated, this I can
 confirm: $ time bash -i -c echo

case 0: // child
  ret = setsid ();

tcgetpgrp(master));
  if ((slave = open (pts, O_RDWR)) = 0)
{
  printf (child tcgetpgrp master after open: %d\n,
tcgetpgrp (master));
  printf (child tcgetpgrp slave: %d\n, tcgetpgrp (slave));
  close (slave);
}
  sleep(2);
  break;
default:// parent
  sleep(1);
  printf (parent tcgetpgrp master during child: %d\n,

  wait (status);
  printf (parent tcgetpgrp master after child: %d\n,
tcgetpgrp (master));
  break;
}
  close (master);
  return 0;
}
  return 1;

On Cygwin 1.7:

parent pid: 5000
parent tcgetpgrp master before child: 0
child pid: 1572 (setsid: 1572)
child tcgetpgrp master before open: 0
child tcgetpgrp master after open: 1572
child tcgetpgrp slave: 1572
parent tcgetpgrp master during child: 0
parent tcgetpgrp master after child: 0

On Opensuse with 2.6.34 kernel:

parent pid: 13507
parent tcgetpgrp master before child: 0
child pid: 13508 (setsid: 13508)
child tcgetpgrp master before open: 0

cygcheck is not a cygwin application, it's a native windows application, 
so it does not know how to resolve unix paths.

 Sure it does:

Not to mention, the Windows itself don't see much of a difference between /
and \ in path. (where it see, it is a bug).

I should clarify.  cygcheck does understand UNIX paths.  It does not
understand symlinks just like the OP said.

Sorry for not making that clear.

Re: Bash problems, strace, performance, etc.

2010-10-20 Thread Cyrille Lefevre

seems to work here ! even on cpan.1 generated from pod2man...

do you have bash-completion, if yes, get rid of it and try again.

PS : where do you find the Club-G package ?

Regards,
