64 bit Cywgin 2.5.2 on Wine: python fails with sem_init: Invalid argument
Hi folks, When compiling 64 bit Cygwin on Wine, I found a python{2,3} failure when building documentation [1]: xmlto --skip-validation --with-dblatex pdf -o cygwin-ug-net/ -m /drone/src/github.com/cygwin/cygwin/winsup/doc/fo.xsl /drone/src/github.com/cygwin/cygwin/winsup/doc/cygwin-ug-net.xml sem_init: Invalid argument Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/dblatex", line 10, in from dbtexmf.dblatex import dblatex File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbtexmf/dblatex/dblatex.py", line 8, in from dbtexmf.core.dbtex import DbTex, DbTexCommand File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbtexmf/core/dbtex.py", line 11, in import urllib File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 26, in import socket File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 67, in from _ssl import SSLError as sslerror ImportError: cannot import name SSLError make[3]: [Makefile:104: cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.pdf] Error 1 (ignored) According to my previous experience this happens with previous version of Cygwin 64 bit on Wine, but works fine on Windows, and works fine on 32 bit Cygwin on Wine. I can't test latest git HEAD Cygwin version due to another known failure. I tried to track down the problem, and I found during the call of sem_init(sem, pshared=0, value=1), in some case pshared and value were unexpectedly changed to large integers after verifyable_object_isvalid(). I tried to reproduce with a simplified test case, and got the below code which behaviors wrong but not exactly in the same way: #include #include #include #include #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { sem_t *p_sem = malloc(sizeof(sem_t)); memset(p_sem, 0xcc, sizeof(sem_t)); /* trigger exception handling code in Cygwin sem_init()-->verifyable_object_isvalid() */ sem_init(p_sem, 0, 1); return 0; } Compiled using Cygwin gcc -pthread, The above code works fine on Cygwin on Windows and 32 bit Cygwin on Wine, but causes a stack overflow on 64 bit Cygwin on Wine. Unfortunately it does not fail exatly in the same way to Cygiwn python, but at least it brings some interesting question. I think it is a Wine bug which does not handle exception correctly, and I'm trying to track down deeper. At the time could anyone provide some hint which piece of Cygwin code could I learn to write a pure Win32 test case emulating the above example? I also attached +seh log comparing 64 bit Cygwin and 32 bit Cygwin on Wine, which show the stackoverflow on 64 bit but handles fine on 32 bit, hopefully that helps. I created a Wine bug on [2].

Re: cygstart.exe can't open file:///C:/
Even if it's similar to Windows command-line, you are still in a POSIX system, and Cygwin use /cygdrive/ for all the drive letters.

cygstart.exe can't open file:///C:/
cygstart‘s manpage says it’s similar to the Windows command-line start command. It is indeed able to open http://example.com in the default browser. However, cygstart file:///C:/ results in an error message: Unable to start 'C:\cygwin\c\': The specified file was not found. The Windows start command opens file:///C:/ links in the default browser without a hitch. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

I’ve improved the script so that it no longer requires any parameters. It finds the last-used setup.ini file and extracts the list of currently-installed packages, all on its own. This script has a couple of problems. First, it doesn't take dependency loops into account. For example, if package p requires q and q requires p, then both will be marked as non-root. Second, if the mirror was used for both an x86 and x86_64 installation, it always uses the x86 setup.ini, regardless of the current architecture.

Re: symlinks to unlinked but open files should work

If you translate the above -w into a libc call access ("/dev/fd/1", W_OK) or its Windows equivalent, that call will always fail on a deleted file. Same for open/CreateFile, etc. Sorry, but off the top of my head I don't see a feasible workaround for this problem.
