Re: Debugging malloc crash in gdb
Hello David,
congrats on your bug fixing but gdb is pretty open that it considers it as
its own bug while running its "inferior", somewhere here:
if (tp->control.may_range_step)
{
/* If we're resuming a thread with the PC out of the step
range, then we're doing some nested/finer run control
operation, like stepping the thread out of the dynamic
linker or the displaced stepping scratch pad. We
shouldn't have allowed a range step then. */
gdb_assert (pc_in_thread_step_range (pc, tp));
}
whatever the logic behind setting may_range_step might be, it is (or should
be) as much decoupled from all the probable bugs in allocators of all the
possible flavours.
So, it should be investigated from the side of gdb maintainers too, for
sure, as I see it.
Kind Regards
Ariel Burbaickij

dumper does not dump
Hello cygwin group, I am facing the following issue: there is GTK application reproducibly "core dumping" (in quotation marks because so far there is no comfortable core file that we know and learnt to love from native *NIX, of course) upon me selecting a certain menu entry. Now, I went and enabled dumper (version 3.3.5) by means of setting CYGWIN environment variable to error_start=c:\cygwin64\bin\dump.cmd with backslashes properly escaped and dump.cmd set to: c:\cygwin64\bin\dumper.exe -d -c %1 %2 I am on Windows 10 here. Now, all I get for it is following: *** starting debugger for pid 2876, tid 16112 after which it hangs indefinitely and nothing more happens. Any ideas, suggestions how to move on here ?

Re: switching to any other than English keyboard layout is not handled correctly anymore on the prompt at minimum
>It sounds like your program wants UTF-8, but your >keyboard is putting out latin1. OK, I did the following: I went to cmd.exe and changed Active code page from 437 (latin1 ?) to 65001 (UTF-8 ?) but there were no changes in the behaviour in Cygwin terminal. In cmd.exe itself it handles Russian and German itself just fine also with 437 code page. For BabelMap -- I do not see how it can be useful for regular input of non-English string and not just one single character here and there. And again -- it is not something that was present from day zero or somewhere close in Cygwin, it worked just fine on my old laptop, I migrated to a new one and this is what I see for the first time.

Re: switching to any other than English keyboard layout is not handled correctly anymore on the prompt at minimum
For Russian and Hebrew keyboard layout I used University of Kansas EGARC
Center foreign languages keyboard layouts:
https://egarc.ku.edu/keyboards
For Arabic, the same idea but different site:
https://arabic.omaralzabir.com/
presumably all done with this Windows Keyboard Layout Creator
BUT for German language I did not use anything -- it is plain vanilla
German in Germany layout, and this is what I get upon attempt to submit
little sweet ö:
$(__fzf_cd__)Ignoring redcarpet-3.4.0 because its extensions are not
built. Try: gem pristine redcarpet --version 3.4.0
Traceback (most recent call last):
4: from /usr/bin/fzf:1347:in `'
3: from /usr/bin/fzf:309:in `start'
2: from /usr/bin/fzf:1157:in `start_loop'
1: from /usr/bin/fzf:929:in `get_input'
/usr/bin/fzf:929:in `ord': invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError)
$
and I mean what I say, pressing ö immediately leads to it, no tricks, no
custom builds, no debugs enabled, no nothing.

Re: switching to any other than English keyboard layout is not handled correctly anymore on the prompt at minimum
I used mintty -- default in cygwin installation as I understand. I switch layouts by switching keyboard mappings, mappings are customized from the standard ones to what is called "phonetic" for non-Latin alphabets but this is handled just fine everywhere outside Cygwin. I will be guessing here what you request from me but I attempted to type in UTF-8 август, basically Russian in all small letters for August as a more or less random but valid example. FIlename I was looking for contains this string and filename is presented correctly as all others are with ls but I cannot type this string in cygwin's prompt. I hope we are coming closer to the cause here.

Re: switching to any other than English keyboard layout is not handled correctly anymore on the prompt at minimum
I try to find files like "find . -name ". Good that you asked about the shell as the story gets even more interesting, in a peculiar way: If I start cygwin then echo $SHELL returns /bin/bash but input is not handled correctly as described. If I spawn child bash -- then it handles Russian and German correctly but no Hebrew and Arabic and the same applies to vim. Yes, it worked before.

Re: switching to any other than English keyboard layout is not handled correctly anymore on the prompt at minimum
Wait a sec, what do you specifically mean with "... Cygwin just uses the POSIX standard..." -- POSIX standard for what and how does it interfere with getting the current layout and mapping from OS? What do you also mean with "... So you need to set your terminal to interpret unicode..." ? My terminal is Cygwin Terminal here. cmd.exe does at least handle Russian and German just fine, not so Arabic and Hebrew but this, I am pretty sure, because of some additional fiddling around right-to-left writing needed. Notepad++(!) already handles all input types just fine as do all the other programs tested so far. So, what are these supposed big OS-side secrets specifically that cygwin cannot get to here?

Re: child (xterm) fork failure as it loads to different address
OK, thank, you, so usual suspects. Now, removing, antivirus and stuff will not be possible in this particular environment but adjustments in the configuration are well possible, provided I will be able to prove to administrators that troubles, indeed, stem from antivirus and co. Now, I see in the FAQ in 4.42 section that these troubles were traced and attributed to antiviri programs. Any more details about how they were traced exactly, so that I can re-trace them too and provide a proof, if needed? Now, this is for one thing. Another one, is the possibility to run Windows 7 (in my case) or any Windows OS, down to and including NT in POSIX-compatible mode. Is this step expected to solve or at least alleviate all or at least some the troubles about the square peg of fork() into the round whole of Windows?

Re: child (xterm) fork failure as it loads to different address
So no, Windows NT will not work. Neither will Win95/98/2000. Nor will XP SP1/SP2. But if your admins are really so worried about viruses, they won't let you run those ancient operating systems anyway, because MS no longer pushes security patches for them. You misread, I am afraid. I am running Windows 7 here. Question is: Is it expected that turning on POSIX-compatibility mode (possibly with downloading of utilities for UNIX subsystem) should help here or not? Yes, let me try cygwin64 after I am done with rebasing, provided it is still necessary, of course :-) On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 3:35 PM, Ryan Johnson ryan.john...@cs.utoronto.ca wrote: http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU On 29/07/2013 8:15 AM, Ariel Burbaickij wrote: OK, thank, you, so usual suspects.

Worked for me. Perhaps your Strawberry gcc installation is interfering.
I don't know how you succeeed to build that, Larry. I could easily
reproduce the problem. It was a build problem in Cygwin. I fixed
that now and at the same time made the 64 bit profiling workable,
curtesy the
Mingw-w64 project, which already did the required work. The original
profiling code was created within the Cygwin project ages ago, so I
could included the latest Mingw-w64 profiling code (almost) verbatim
into Cygwin and now it seems to work fine again for 32 and 64 bit.
I'm just about to create a 2013-06-18 32 bit snapshot on
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and a 64 bit test release 1.7.12-5, which
both should be ready in an hour.
Uploaded. Please note that it's *not* enough to install the snapshot Cygwin

Really thanks to all. That now works.
Sorry for the slow reply, I did the install with the snapshot as suggested
- no difference, at first, but I had been given the clues I needed.
I used find to track all libgmon.a on my laptop :
C:/Altera/12.0sp2/quartus/bin/cygwin/lib/libgmon.a
C:/Altera/12.0sp2/quartus/bin/cygwin/lib/mingw/libgmon.a
C:/Altera/12.0sp2/quartus/bin/cygwin/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgmon.a
C:/Applications/Strawberry/c/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libgmon.a
C:/cygwin/lib/libgmon.a
C:/cygwin/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libgmon.a
C:/cygwin/usr/lib/libgmon.a
I blocked access to the Altera and Strawberry Cygwins, which made no
difference, (no, XMOS does not use Cygwin)
But the answer was the version C:/cygwin/lib/libgmon.a
I copied the new gcrt0.o and libgmon.a into C:/cygwin/lib/
and all now works fine. I have the answer I needed.
I do thank you all,

As I read in the manual for xsm it only restarts application unless primitive WM_SAVE_YOURSELF primitive is defined. Does anyone care to maintain the list of at least well-known application that do implement this primitve? Manual also mentions rstart based on rsh as the only mechanism for restart on remote machine.

expectk on cygwin
Hello dear mailing list participants, I try to port android GUI Test utility to cygwin. Expectk is prerequisite but as I understood it, it is not included in cygwin installation for rather long time due to some problems unknown to me. My questions: 1) What are the problems with expectk? 2) Can they be surmounted or something very fundamental about cygwin prevent it from working normally in cygwin environment? 3) Would anyone like to team up with me in order to get application ported?

After upgrade cutpaste between different clients of cygwin X server stopped to work
Hello mailing list participants, following question: After I have upgraded the cygwin system, cutpaste inside X server does not work anymore, i.e. it works fine between windows applications and x clients, it just does not work between x clients themselves. winClipBoardProc is up and running, Xserver was started with -clipboard option.

How would they know? The terminology doesn't come to mind: something to the effect that some of the older Sun clients only run in the frame buffer. (There are other issues with some other features - there are fonts that don't display remotely because they're Sun-proprietary and encrypted in some way). Just because it's on the workstation's X display doesn't mean it's usable from a remote workstation. Certainly all the Sun terminals work here where I'm displaying my SUn desktop on a PC using xdm. Yes, I realised that, but what I said is where rxvt 'came from' as it were. Where it 'came from' is more than that - it discarded all of Xt (the resource mechanism). Originally all of rxvt's optional features were hardcoded - compile-time-only. It has some ability to read resource files (which is not really interpreting the patterns compatibly with Xt), but that came a few years later. Omitting Xt is the major part of reducing size (but most of that is shared memory). Also since it doesn't use Xt, some of the ways it manipulates the graphics are done differently (sometimes a good thing, sometimes now). The comment in rxvt's manpage about Tektronix emulation has been obsolete for several years (see xterm's changelog to note when I made it optional). What do you need sun-cmd or dtterm for? it's probably what he's using right now. He said ne *needed* them for some things. I use a sun-cmd for one yes, but most people who say they *need* a particular terminal type don't know enough about the topic to say exactly why. I need it because some old applications I need to use have the terminal hardcoded in some obscure scripts. Surprisingly though, as it looks like ansi is also pretty much fine, so, guys, thank you very much for your help and interest in the topic. Stay tuned ;-) With Best Regards and Thank you for your help this terminal type in some particular ancient application which is more functional (and needs fewer keystrokes to do some things) in a sun-cmd window than an xterm. I seem to recall that some of Sun's installs hardcoded sun into the $TERM value (that's recent - gripes about Solaris 9). -- Thomas E.

To get you right: If you click into the Event Test window of xev you do not get ButtonPress and ButtonRelease events like these?

In the test window I do get these events. Problem is, though, I do not get them in applicationms' window. I surely understand that most natural reaction on your part would be to say something like :Ok. No events, no reaction. Pay as you go. Point is, though it does work out from other X-servers for Win32 out of the box. So I will be more then happy to help you in debugging to trace the problem down.

Re: Right mouse button functionality and cygwin-xfree
Does it happen in all programs or only a few? Which programs are these? bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 As you might guess it only happens with one programm but with most important one :-(. On the other hand let me try not to be so upset by it and pose one question. Can you make some educated guess about in what way and where is the programm brocken so that is misbehaves in such a way?

The state 0x10 is the numlock modifier. I don't know why it is enabled but numlock is off. What I tried to say is: after all leds were switched off (toshiba notebooks are bit quirky) they ARE off now but it does not help. Besides, I guess I have already read an e-mail from you in archives about 0x10 and its meaning. Si the situation is like this: all leds are off, code is NOT 0x10 and I do not see ButtonRaised and ButtonPressed events in the application window at all.
