hi, Cgf is waiting for a final confirmation that the latest pipe changes fix the issues reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-03/msg00186.html and, ultimately, http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-03/msg00396.html I tested cygwin1-20110323.dll with different file sizes - the issue is fixed

Hi, just re-tested this with cygwin1-20110313.dll. Here is the result (output of my "writetest" program): writing 78954543 bytes... result is 32505856, errno is 27 writing 46448687 bytes... result is -1, errno is 27 writing 46448687 bytes... result is -1, errno is 27 [ repeating a few hundred ti

How about if you try a snapshot rather than your own home-built version? There is no snapshot dated 03-10 on http://cygwin.com/snapshots/. Unfortunately, there is no "hard limit" of 64MB. On the machine where I first encountered the error, the limit seems to be about 16MB. On another machine,

Hi, tested with cvs HEAD: Just terminating the loop after write_overlapped_fallback is not enough. When the size to write exceeds MAX_OVERLAPPED_WRITE_LEN and WriteFile fails for MAX_OVERLAPPED_WRITE_LEN, write() will always return 0. Now any write with length > MAX_OVERLAPPED_WRITE_LEN fails

I replaced the cygwin1.dll with cygwin1-20110309.dll and now a single write() with 78 MB never returns but seems to write repeatedly to the pipe (file was 5GB when I hit Ctrl-C). Just terminating the loop after write_overlapped_fallback is not enough. When the size to write exceeds MAX_OVERLAPPE

Surprisingly, this returns FALSE / nbytes = 0 / GetLastError = ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE on WinXP if the number of bytes exceeds some maximum and the handle refers to a pipe. Since you don't know what kind of handle you're writing to in write_overlapped, it seems reasonable to do the write in chunks.

Hi, Hang on, you are saying that a *blocking* write(2) to a pipe returns with EAGAIN? Are you sure? It would be quite a surprise if git would actually do that. EAGAIN is only an expected error for non-blocking I/O, so applications which use blocking I/O usually only test for EINTR. I checke

2011-03-05 Thread Robert Wruck
Hi, recently, I found that cygwin-git was not able to 'cat-file' files that exceeded some size (in my case about 80MB). I tracked this down to the cygwin implementation of write() that behaves quite odd in some cases. I wrote a small program (source attached) that mmaps a given file and trie
