Hmm, that's looking wrong to me, too. __GNUC__ gets defined also for
c++, So issue might be more related to inline being not inlined.
Could you provide me a small sample to reproduce this issue?

I would like to see here a different macro-name and the logic needs to
be inverted. Our default scenario uses dllimport and just in cygwin's

So I would like to see here instead: !defined (__NO_USE_DLLIMPORT)
How about just !defined(DECLSPEC_IMPORT)?
Yes, that's fine.

Anyone still using the expat 1.9.5 library? (cygexpat-0.dll)
When I took over maintainership of the Cygwin expat package, I asked that this older ABI version of the library be kept for programs that need it, but that was four years ago now. It's still there. Assuming no one yells about it, I'd like to request that the Cygwin package repo maintainers check for packages that still have libexpat0 as a dependency, and if none are found, remove it.

1.7.15: C# hello world program hangs when run from cygwin
I compiled the following simple C# program using Mono 2.10.8
public class Hello {
public static void Main() {
System.Console.WriteLine(hello);
}
}
I then attempt to run it under mono and native .net
# mcs Hello.cs
# mono Hello.exe
hello
# ./Hello.exe
hangs for ever
If I downgrade from 1.7.15 to 1.7.14 then it runs as expected
$ ./Hello.exe
hello
I've attached cygcheck.out for 1.7.15 and cygcheck.1.7.14.out for 1.7.14.

It doesn't mean much to me, because of my ignorance of how glib works. But maybe it will give you an idea where to look.

What is the Cygwin project then? I honestly thought it was a Red Hat project... I.e.

Also Wikipedia says that the project was started by Cygnus Solutions which was then merged with Red Hat back in 2000.

Expand stack in Cygwin
How does one increase the stack size of an application using Cygwin? I have googled this and found suggestions such as adding -W1,--stack,800 to make the stack 8 meg. However, this doesn't work for me. I include this as an option to gcc in my makefile and bash just reports an error message. Robert H.
