cygcheck -svc causes a segfault on Windows 8.1 on line 1610 of cygcheck.cc, based on gdb output. I'm including some gdb output below that showcases this issue:
1610 strcat (osname, products[prod]); (gdb) list 1605 if (prod == PRODUCT_UNLICENSED) 1606 strcat (osname, "Unlicensed"); 1607 else if (prod > PRODUCT_PROFESSIONAL_WMC) 1608 strcat (osname, ""); 1609 else 1610 strcat (osname, products[prod]); 1611 } 1612 else 1613 { 1614 } (gdb) p prod $1 = 101 (gdb) p sizeof(products)/sizeof(void*) $2 = 101 'products[prod]' in this case is accessing memory outside of the 'products' array. The odd thing is that a few lines back, the declaration of products includes 104 elements. I do not know why this discrepancy exists-- anyone have a clue? So far I've tried installing the experimental release of the cygwin base tools (where I think cygcheck is found), some older version of the base tools, and even just by copying cygcheck from the latest snapshot and replacing the one I had in my /cygwin64/bin folder. None of these alternative versions alleviated the issue (and since the snapshot is stripped of debugging symbols and the symbols I have do not match it, I couldn't debug it, other than the fact it crashed with a segfault with the same output as the other cases). I have been trying to compile cygwin on my computer, but I have not had much success yet. I will continue to try in the mean time. Thanks in advance for any help! -- 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
