The problems I reported with make 4.4 still exist in 4.4.0.90.
Until someone can figure out why this happens, you might want to
consider building make so that it doesn't default to using a FIFO for
its jobserver. I suggested to the make developers that they provide a
configure option for this purpose. If they don't do this, I think you
could accomplish the same thing by configuring make with
ac_cv_func_mkfifo=no.

Re: man-pages-linux needs case sensitive directories

Linux man pages 6.03 has been released.
I realized that some of the man pages are case sensitive e.g. _[Ee]xit.2,
{NAN,nan}.3, perhaps others.
I took care of my own system using commands like below, but would appreciate
advice on whether there is any better portable or Cygwin specific approach,
and what are the opinions on the best way to handle this in the cygport for
download and install?
Is this supported by Cygwin on Windows 10 versions >= [20]18-03 with the
directory attribute set, are there likely to be any problems with git, or in
general with POSIX<->Windows file names?
$ cd /usr/share/man/linux/
$ for s in man?; do fsutil file setCaseSensitiveInfo $s; done
You can do this in Cygwin with the chattr(1) tool, see chattr --help.
Thanks Corinna,
I thought I remembered something but git and ml searches got no useful hits.
The hint "WSL must be installed" appears to be outdated, at least on
Windows 11. There are two approaches for case-sensitivity, see
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitivedirs
However, as part of the distro, the package must not rely on
case-sensitivity. We have to assume that most users are using Windows
in default settings. And we still support Windows versions prior to
Windows 10 1803. But even then, I encountered serious trouble with
case-sensitive directories on remote shares, see
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/3885
so you'd get into trouble if the Cygwin installation is on a share.
I noticed that and other issues, like needing to pre-create and fsutil/chattr
the directories before extraction.
For colliding man pages, what you can do is to append a character to
the man page file, so you can install both. For instance:
exit.2
Exit.2a
nan.3
NAN.3a
Kind of like that.
Thanks much for that great idea!
I will check if it will extract with:
TAR_OPTIONS="--transform=s,_Exit.2,_Exit.2u, --transform=s,NAN.3,NAN.3u,
--show-transform-names"
as those 2 files are small .so to man2/_exit.2 and man3/INFINITY.3 respectively,
and note suffix "u" to make Uppercase Unique and deal with case conflicts.
I have also noticed that man -m, --system=a,b priority is alphabetic, so
-mman,linux displays Linux instead of Cygwin man pages, so will use
man-pages-linux instead, and provide linux as a convenient interactive symlink
for backward compatibility, and if anyone wants to see Linux over Cygwin.

[QUERY] Help With Semaphore Error on Windows : Cygwin
Hi All,
Could I request for some help on some code?
I ran into an error with semaphores with some book code using Cygwin on
Windows.
The code will throw an error with sem_post().
I compiled it with gcc -o memwriter memwriter.c -lrt -lpthread
$ ./memwriter
Shared memory address: 0x6fff [0..511]
backing file: /dev/shm/shMemEx
semptr is address 0x7cc18 with value 0
SEM_VALUE_MAX is 1147483648
sem_post: Invalid argument <--- ERROR
According to feedback, the above error does not turn up on Linux.
May I know if this is supposed to happen on Cygwin on Windows?
If not, how can I solve this?
I've also attached the code for reference.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

You don't have to build a new dash. Just downgrading to
dash-0.5.12-1 will suffice, of course. D'oh.
So, as a first test, here's the result of Andrey's expression
with dash-0.5.12-1:
$ dash -c '_x=" x"; echo "${_x#${_x%%[![:space:]]*}}"'
x
Good and quick work!
I was still looking thru my last Cygwin build for the Unicode tables, that I
remember being rebuilt some time ago, and to find what used them, and whether
they were updated to Unicode 15.
I'll install the test Cygwin and old dash, then prep and check a new/old dash
release 3 in test, for release with untest when the Cygwin changes are released,
rather than play with replacing versions and going back and forth.

Possible "stage" token for SCALLYWAG builds
Jon, When building TeX Live (once a year), I have to build texlive, asymptote, and all the texlive-collection-* packages. I currently can't use SCALLYWAG to do the builds because these packages need to all be deployed at once. So I have to build them all locally, upload them to my staging area, and then upload !ready files, one for x86_64 and one for noarch. It would be convenient for me if SCALLYWAG would accept a "stage" token that would upload the files to my staging area without deploying them. Then I could let SCALLYWAG do the builds, and I could upload the !ready files when everything is staged. If I'm the only maintainer who would find this useful, then I can continue doing it the way I always have. But maybe others would find it useful too. Thanks. Ken

Fw: Re: Fw: Re: Why do these mprotect always fail?
I asked the developer of the interpreter. He said it's OK to use the PAGE_SIZE
value different than 4096. So I used this dirty hack:
#ifndef __CYGWIN__
#define PAGE_SIZE 4096
#endif
This means on Cygwin it will use the default PAGE_SIZE defined on limits.h (I'm
taking advantage of the naming conflict here so I don't have to rename
PAGE_SIZE to JIT_PAGE_SIZE as suggested by the developer of the interpreter).
The result is it's no longer error with "Unable to mprotect" but will silently
crashed without any error messages printed on the screen. So after all, it's
Cygwin's quirks here.

You don't have to build a new dash. Just downgrading to
dash-0.5.12-1 will suffice, of course. D'oh.
So, as a first test, here's the result of Andrey's expression
with dash-0.5.12-1:
$ dash -c '_x=" x"; echo "${_x#${_x%%[![:space:]]*}}"'
x

They also recognize collating symbols [.=]. But the latter two are not implemented yet and fnmatch/glob simply skip them in the pattern. Given that glob and fnmatch use wide characters internally, the support for character classes is internationalized by default, albeit in a slightly differentt way than in glibc. The classes a unicode character belongs to is not locale dependent in Cygwin/newlib. All characters have their classes assigned all the time, so, for instance, the german character 'ä' is lower and alpha even in the en_US.utf8 locale. The currently building cygwin test release 3.5.0-0.174.gd6d4436145b8 contains the new code. Would you mind to build a dash for testing so we can see if and how it works?

It will always error with "Unable to mprotect". Again, it doesn't matter what your application is doing with PAGE_SIZE. PAGE_SIZE in limits.h is a read-only value to inform your application about the system page size. Just because your application overwrites PAGE_SIZE doesn't change the fact that the system's mmap uses the real page size, i. e., 64K. Look, let's make a Windows example: Somewhere in the headers there's a definition # define MAX_PATH 260 This defines the maximum path length when using the Windows ANSI File API, for instance, CreateFileA(). Now you go ahead and overwrite this value in your application: #undef MAX_PATH #define MAX_PATH 1024 Do you really think that the Windows functions will even notice that you changed MAX_PATH in your application and they will suddenly happily work with 1K paths? No, they won't. And it's, hopefully obviously, the same with mmap and mprotect. Just because you define your own PAGE_SIZE value doesn't mean the system will even see this. It will continue to use the real page size value, as returned by sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE), and mprotect will fail if the address isn't given in multiples of sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE).

It's really just a naming conflict and a coincident. On the context of the
source code (it's an interpreter), PAGE_SIZE is indeed JIT_PAGE_SIZE (not the
system page size, but the page size defined internally by the interpreter). On
Linux, the name doesn't conflict. On Cygwin, I found on limits.h and
cygwin/limits.h already defined PAGE_SIZE so it caused a naming conflict:
#define __PAGESIZE 65536
#define PAGESIZE __PAGESIZE
#define PAGE_SIZE PAGESIZE
But the problem not related to the naming conflict. If I renamed PAGE_SIZE to
JIT_PAGE_SIZE, the problem is still there. The problem is Cygwin will not work with
JIT_PAGE_SIZE = 4096. Please have a look at the code I posted. It will always error with
"Unable to mprotect".
The Linux man page for mprotect says that the address MUST be aligned
(with the systems PAGE_SIZE). Your call to posix_memalign is NOT
aligning the allocation with the systems PAGE_SIZE (65536), but with
your PAGE_SIZE (4096).
You need to allocate memory that is aligned with the systems PAGE_SIZE.
Eg.
if(posix_memalign((void**), (PAGE_SIZE>JIT_PAGE_SIZE) ? PAGE_SIZE
: JIT_PAGE_SIZE, available)) { ... }

In case anyone needs the answer, These steps worked for me:
-- Downloaded the Pre-release Snapshots
$ wget https://sqlite.org/snapshot/sqlite-snapshot-202302131932.tar.gz
-- untared the snapshot
$ tar xvf sqlite-snapshot-202302131932.tar.gz
-- cd to the untared directory
$ cd sqlite-snapshot-202302131932
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make install
And this process has set the python SQLite version to the sqlite-snapshot
version. After that, you can download the trunk and follow the same procedure,
and the version of the trunk will be changed also.
$ ./SQLiteVersion.py
3.41.0
['/usr/lib/python3.9/sqlite3']
3.41.0

PAGE_SIZE is just a naming conflict. If you change it to something else, JIT_PAGE_SIZE for example, it still fails. The problem is Cygwin is not fine with the particular value 4096 but the program needs the value to be exactly 4096.

It would be nice to send a complete, self-contained STC(*) in plain C, so reproducing your issue is simple and doesn't require to rework your code to get a running, debuggable testcase.

Almost forgot, PAGE_SIZE is set to 4096. This is a Linux application, when I
compile on Cygwin it complained that PAGE_SIZE is redefined but the compilation
was success nevertheless. Only when I run the application, I always exited with
"Unable to mprotect".

You can do this in Cygwin with the chattr(1) tool, see chattr --help.
The hint "WSL must be installed" appears to be outdated, at least on
Windows 11. There are two approaches for case-sensitivity, see
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitivedirs
However, as part of the distro, the package must not rely on
case-sensitivity. We have to assume that most users are using Windows
in default settings. And we still support Windows versions prior to
Windows 10 1803. But even then, I encountered serious trouble with
case-sensitive directories on remote shares, see
https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/3885
so you'd get into trouble if the Cygwin installation is on a share.
For colliding man pages, what you can do is to append a character to
the man page file, so you can install both. For instance:
exit.2
Exit.2a
nan.3
NAN.3a
Kind of like that.
