I don't see how this is better than simply adding the necessary code to Cygwin DLL and adding a setting for switching that code on and off. For that to truly make sense, you have to design a complete plugin system for Cygwin, with multiple plug points, a generic way for plugins to affect Cygwin (plugin API), a way to solve plugin conflicts... No, that's too complex. If Cygwin DLL is aware of Msys "plugin" dll, explicitly loads it, gives it particular data, and makes assumptions about the way Msys modifies Cygwin state - that's not really a plugin anymore. - -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRuGRpAAoJEOs4Jb6SI2CwK5wH/0qkypWqpzpE045wvrzsztcO xywLV7P3JvGzx9e/T8SX84n1mV8R0RPbMPmLuRX+i1aarmdJoIG10o5nch2uVucp 4QmjMUAV54LYl2venCNCvbuBaX2Qru1y+XNQFvayDciLiBYejIMXKRfHeziM9KQV juJKnFFTxNuEeB8XZQfe9K0tcUdKiA8jTHU+ZmBx5/KCxDF8si5BFjppvfJyNY2U SjCtGPffiHdDPxKlCGYaprqfQWid8VFoteKj4xmpn8uMU+EzENEXtRCDKOQ8tviW EnRyfih8swDB4AP7k17+KocK3hqj6BEbPZ+0C7mFBwRlI38tbUp0OPwhq1qHgkQ= =ZfyY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
