HEADSUP package maintainers: Welcome to Cygwin 1.5.0
Ok, this is my Welcome to 1.5.0 message for package maintainers. I hope
it answers most questions. If not, feel free to ask on cygwin-apps.
What is that 64 bit babble?
---
Up to release 1.3.x, Cygwin had some limitations which were induced
by too small datatypes:
off_t was 32 bit, so not allowing to seek more than 2 Gigs and to
show filesizes over 2 Gigs correctly. This has been changed to
64 bit, allowing to access all files correctly.
fpos_t, ditto.
blkcnt_t, used in struct stat, change from 32 to 64 bit for the same
reason.
ino_t, changed from 32 to 64 bit to allow 1:1 mapping of Windows
file index numbers to inode numbers.
uid_t and gid_t were 16 bit which result in problems mapping Windows NT
user accounts to uids and gids. Changed to 32 bit.
All related structures (FILE, struct stat, struct dirent, struct group)
have been changed accordingly.
Ditto all related functions (lseek, fseeko, stat, setuid, getgid, ...).
How does that all work?
---
First of all, all affected types have been defined twice, once for
releases up to 1.3.22, once for 1.5.0ff. The usage of the new
datatypes is controlled by a define in include/cygwin/config.h
called __CYGWIN_USE_BIG_TYPES__. If this define exists, the new
bigger datatypes are used. Note that this define is *not* under
package developer control! It marks the switch from small to big
datatypes in conjunction with the used import library.
To make this clear: If you build an application with header files
from 1.3.22 and libcygwin.a from 1.5.0, the result is very likely
broken. And vice versa, if you build an application with 1.5.0
headers and 1.3.x libcygwin.a the result will probably not work.
If you need to build applications running under 1.3.x, keep the
1.3.x headers and import libraries.
As I mentioned above, Cygwin is using the big datatypes internally
throughout. So, how is it possible that an old application can call
a function, say lseek(), with a 32 bit off_t and a newly build
application calls it with a 64 bit off_t?
The internal implementation of lseek looks like this:
_off32_t lseek(int fd, _off32_t offset, int whence)
{
return (_off32_t) lseek64 (fd, (_off64_t) offset, whence);
}
_off64_t lseek64(int fd, _off64_t offset, int whence)
{
[actual implementation]
}
lseek and lseek64 are both exported from the Cygwin DLL. Old
applications still use the lseek entry point since they don't know
better. Newly build applications on the other hand will use the
lseek64 entry point directly. But how do they know? That's done
at link time. The new libcygwin.a import library translates call
to lseek to calls to lseek64 transparently. Applications don't have
to know anything, they just get it for free.
How does that affect applications?
--
All current applications, build under Cygwin versions prior to 1.5.0
don't have access to the new 64 bit world. These applications will
run, but they are still limited as before.
Newly build applications are on the bright side of life. They do
use all the new types automatically. But this transition of
applications has to be done carefully. Applications build under
1.5.0 will not run under older Cygwin releases!
Again, please note that the new datatypes are used automatically.
There isn't any choice between e.g. a off_t with 32 bit and a off64_t
with 64 bit and no corresponding functions as stat and stat64.
Building under 1.5.0 means, off_t is 64 bit now. stat is expecting
a struct stat with 64 bit off_t. Full stop. No compile time
options. All or nothing. Well, you got the idea, I guess...
Think about it. Especially if you're maintaining an older package
(my own inetutils is a good candidate) it might require some code
changes. To stick with off_t as example, old packages often expect
off_t to fit well into long.
printf(%ld, off);
will print... interesting... values. Other similar traps are possible.
How does that affect Cygwin package maintainers?
It's important to know, if the package depends on other external
libraries besides Cygwin itself.
Packages only dependend on Cygwin can be build immediately and
will run as expected (iff they are prepared to handle 64 bit types
correctly).
Packages which depend on external libs should be newly build only
if all external libs have been newly build first. E.g. vim depends
on ncurses. So I, the vim maintainer, will wait with creating a new
vim version until Charles, the ncurses maintainer, has created a new
ncurses version.
This means, the package maintainers of libraries, especially those
which provide DLLs should build a new version of their packages
as soon as possible. Only with all libs finished, we can finally

Do I need to check out all the XFree code to compile the test code below? I tried: cvs checkout -A xc but that is taking a really long tim to download so not sure if I'm on the right track here. I also tried : cvs checkout -rEXPR1 XFIXES_BRANCH but that didn't work. Thanks for any help. JS. I committed an XFIXES_BRANCH branch to CVS on SourceForge. Follow the instructions from David's email in this thread if you don't know how to checkout a branch. I hope I got all the correct files checked in... I won't be back online until Sunday evening. Harold Harold L Hunt II wrote: I have been working with the code for Keith Packard's XFIXES extension. The XFIXES extension includes a new hook in Xserver/dix/dispatch.c that allows functions within the Xserver (such as the XFIXES xtension) to register for a callback when a selection's ownership changes, among other things. The best documentation I can find for the selection portion of XFIXES is Owen Taylor's writeup on a RedHat list that doesn't seem to have a public archive anymore. Google has a cache; both URLs are below... https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/xdg-list/2002-November/000937.html http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:4osKtTvNNhcJ:https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/xdg-list/2002-November/000937.html+XFixesSelectSelectionInputhl=enie=UTF-8 In any case, I reincluded the XFIXES extension in my local tree from SourceForge. I built the extension and modified the -clipboard module to register for messages from the XFIXES extension related to ownership changes of XA_PRIMARY. The ownership notifications work just fine, and I am able to copy text from X to Windows repeatedly without having to transfer ownership of XA_PRIMARY to the clipboard manager (the -clipboard module). The remaining problem is that I modified the Win32 message loop in the -clipboard module to add itself to the clipboard chain and to call XSetSelectionOwner when something comes through the Windows clipboard. This immediately resulted in an infinite loop, as my X event handling for a selection ownership change calls XConvertSelection, which ends up sending a SelectionNotify event back to the -clipboard module. The -clipboard module copies the text from the X clipboard to the Windows clipboard on a SelectionNofity event. Thus, the text makes a round-trip from the Windows clipboard, to the X clipboard, back to the Windows clipboard, ad nauseam. I added a little break-out in the selection ownership change processing that prevents XSetSelectionOwner from being called if the current owner of the selection is the clipboard manager window. This stops the infinite looping, but it causes a problem very similar to the original xwinclip problem: the X selection is immediately unhighlighted. So, my questions are: 1) Does anyone feel like helping on this? Got any ideas right off the bat? 2) What would be the best way for me to share the code with other developers? I don't want to commit the XFIXES stuff to our SourceForge tree's HEAD, but could I use another branch? If so, please give me some instructions for what to do... I haven't got time to study CVS all day. I am pleased with my current progress point. This version that is dependent upon a stripped-down XFIXES extension will represent about a 40% completion point in new clipboard integration support that doesn't steal selection ownership. The remaining work to be done could include removing the clipboard manager client altogether, removing any dependency on XFIXES and using only the internal hooking interface, etc. Please postpone any debate on those remaining steps until the current programming actually works. There will be no point to debate the merits of steps 5, 6, and 7 unless we can actually get step 4 to do what we intend.

Does switching 'makefile' with 'Makefile' work (incase you have CYGWIN=check_case:strict) ? If none of the above are true, can you send us the output of `cygcheck -svr' as a plain-text *non-compressed* attachment (not inline), as per http://cygwin.com/problems.html.

On Tue, 8 Jul 2003, Bill McCormick wrote: Elfyn, I compiled the 4.0.13 and I don't seem to have a mysqlc executable. What I don't understand is why the mysqlc client that comes with the mysql win32 (which uses the cygwin dll) doesn't run in a cygwin bash shell. In the Win32 dist there are two clients, mysql.exe (the native Win32 client) and mysqlc.exe (the Cygwin client). mysqlc.exe was just an extra. Even if it did, it still doesn't get us to the point where we can use Perl and PHP under Cygwin, right? Of course. Once you have the client lib you can then install and use DBD::mysql and php_mysql. Also, why bother getting a server to run under Cygwin? It runs under Windows just fine. Getting it to run under Cygwin under Windows seems like a lot of busy work to little end. The only important thing is that the client works so we can use the Perl DBI, PHP and other various client interfaces. Or am I missing something? It's the same argument for Apache, PostgreSQL, Perl etc, etc. I suppose it's not really needed, but some people might like to play. :-) Elfyn -- Elfyn McBratney, EMCB http://www.emcb.co.uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

So, 4.0.x is certainly viable (and simple, even) for client purposes. Yes? Hmmm, probably it wass too late in the evening as I tried to do this. Well, lets talk with Elfyn, she wants to make a package ready. LOL! Last time I checked I was of the other side. :-) Elfyn? Well, I'd prefer not to package an alpha. As 4.0.13 compiles fine after hacking I think we should go with that. I'm focussing on the client library first and then I'll move on to the server.

No, it is a problem with the Cygwin/MySQL socket code. Nothing works with 1.3.22, similar as it is with Apache. The older versions, e.g. 1.3.10 works better, but still not without crashes. After Corinna fixed the code, so Apache is running without problems on 1.5 now, MySQL still crashes randomly (same behaviour as with 1.3.10), maybe it crashes more often as before, well it is completely unstable and nor usable as database server. Huh? I get lots of undefined reference to `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)' errors during *linking*. I never get a server binary to test. N.B. This is with 4.0.13 - you mentioned 4.1-alpha before, perhaps that is why we see different problems. This was easy :-) That is the main part of the patch I promised to send Elfyn. In short: Comment out all '#pragma interface' and '#pragma implementation' lines, it doesn't work on Cygwin. And besides that, compiling and linking works well. Wish I'd read this before blingly hacking the source to bits. :-) Gerrit, if you wouldn't mind, could you send me your patches to to 4.1-alpha?

That doesn't look like a GCC error to me. Make sure your using using g++ and the
right file extension, too (e.g. '.cc').

cygwin-1.5.0-1: Problem stat-ing big file
While trying if the new support for files larger than 2GB works, I
created a file with a size of 4.53 GB (4,869,120,000 Bytes) using a
simple write in python. No problems here. But when stat-ing the file
with python's os.stat or by calling stat from C as done in the little
program below, the size of the file gets reported as 574,152,704 Bytes.
#include stdio.h
#include sys/stat.h
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
struct stat s;
stat(argv[1], s);
printf(Size of file %s: %ld, argv[1], s.st_size);
return 0;
}
What I also found interesting is the output of ls. While the size
reported next to the file (big.bin) is wrong, the total seems reasonable:
$ /bin/ls -l /cygdrive/c
total 4755283

In fact this is not bothering me much, since I - at the moment - have no need for being able to create and handle files that large. But it's good to know what had to be done if I had the need.

Mixing old Cygwin headers with the new import lib or vice versa are sure candidates for segmentation fauls. - Since off_t is now 64 bit and the st_size member of struct stat is a off_t, your printf isn't correct: printf(Size of file %s: %lld, argv[1], s.st_size); %lld is necessary. %ld matches 32 bit types on Cygwin.

Several problems when running tests with Cygwin
Hi all, We are actively trying to get full cygwin support for ACE and TAO. ACE is a portable C++ library that delivers OS abstraction and several pattern implementations. TAO is an open source CORBA implementation build with ACE. We are working on full cygwin support already some months. I have just downloaded the latest Cygwin DLL test release and this improves the support only a little. We build ACE and TAO daily with Cygwin and part of this build is a large set of tests. Those tests run on a lot of platforms, but several fail still with Cygwin. We are investigating but it goes slow. The results are online on http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~bugzilla/auto_compile_logs/remedy.nl_Win2K_Cygwin/. In the test part you can see that several tests are failing. The ACE/TAO package can be downloaded from http://deuce.doc.wustl.edu/Download.html We will continue testing with Cygwin but maybe some of the real Cygwin guru's can have a look and maybe pinpoint some of the problems.

I tried pretty much the same thing with the attached files (test.c

cygwin on Windows 2003...
Hello, I am using cygwin 1.3.1 on Windows 2003. While executing certain commands, I am getting the following error. This happens especially, when, one command is internally spawning another command e.g. If I am trying tar -xvzf, it will internally spawn gzip. I get the following error in this case. c:\bin\gzip.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x24B) in child, cygheap, Win32 error 0 Upgrading to latest cygwin solves this problem. However, that's not an option for me, because, it breaks openssh 2.5.2p2-3 server which I am running on the system. In this case, I get an Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). error when connecting over SSH. I am really stuck due to this. Can anybody shade some light on this?

mount managed warnings!
I should have put some stronger caveats in the release announcement about the use of the -o managed option to mount. As people have discovered, it is not ready for prime time. And, even if it was ready for prime time, it is definitely not something that you want to use on all of your directories. You should only use it for directories that are initially unpopulated and are due to be completely managed by cygwin (hence the name). So, the best use would be to create an empty directory, mount it, and then add files to it. Do not try this on existing directories as it will probably confuse cygwin. I may make this a requirement for mount. If mount notices that you are mounting a non-empty directory initially, it will issue a warning. I will fix the currently reported problems in the next cygwin snapshot if people want to play with this. I do appreciate bug reports but now that I've laid out the ground rules, please lets not hear about how this doesn't work right in your root directory. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I took your pre-announcement to mean that it would not be available in snapshots before the test release (as in that case I would have expected a please try a snapshot message) so I didn't try them.

cygwin 1.5.0-1 forked off child processes have open handles tonon-existant processes
I was just walking my process tree with the process explorer when I saw
the cron process had an open handle to a non-existant process (presumably
its parent).
I tried the following code snippet to test that hypothesis:
-- BEGIN --
#include sys/types.h
#include unistd.h
#include stdio.h
int main( void )
{
pid_t child;
int stat;
if ( ( child = fork( ) ) == 0 ) // in child
{
setsid( );
while ( 1 )
sleep( 1 );
}
return ( 0 );
}
--- END ---
and saw the same thing: an open handle for a non-existant process with
access permissions 0x001F0FFF (though I have no idea what that stands
for).
My currently running vim has the same type of open handle, as does bash -
which has six of them and rxvt (which has two of them). The process IDs
are different each time, but the access permissions are the same.
It looks like every single Cygwin process has at least one of these
dangling handles..
I don't know what the consequences of such handles could be - they are
presumably never used for anything, but I think it's a bug anyway..
Cygcheck output is available here:

http://blytkerchan.chez.tiscali.fr/cygcheck.out

rlc
NB: the reason I am not *attaching* the cygcheck output but putting it at
a web location is because by far most people on this list won't be too
interested by it, and it is a 23-K attachment. As this is the third one I
would have sent today, that would have become annoying. If you want me to
send it as an attachment anyway, please (feel free to) ask.

Globally redirecting output elsewhere than /tmp/
The directory /tmp seems to be hardwired into some applications as a repository for temporary files created during those applications' activity. (Rather than using env. vars. TEMP or TMP, I mean.) Is there a way of globally diverting such temporary files elsewhere, as in for /tmp read h:/temp throughout this session? I've tried fiddling with all of alias, ln, mount, ..., but none of these seem to provide quite what's needed. (Reason for asking: I am still experimenting with portable-Cygwin-on-a-CD. Then the un-write-ability of the directory /tmp and possibly of other directories too is occasionally proving to be problematic.) Thank you.

Re: Cygwin apps talking to Windows browsers?
I'm no expert on how to do this in mh-e but speaking of the general case, there's no particular jiggery-pokery needed to get a Cygwin app to launch a URL in a Windows browser. e.g. try typing explorer http://www.google.com/; from your bash prompt, or if you want your default Windows URL handler to handle it by magic, you can do cmd /c start http://www.google.com; (the start trick works in Win2K and XP, not sure about DOS-style Windows). Assuming mh-e has a configuration option that lets you give it a command string to execute with a %s or whatever where the URL should be, one of those approaches should do the trick. As far as clicking on a URL in a remote app and having it display in a local Windows browser goes... Pass. Anyone else? Andrew.

flaky disk share access
Hi All, When I ssh in to my cygwin/W2000 system, I don't reliably have access to the disk shares, even if I log in as the same user who's logged in on the console. The shares in question are served by Samba and are reconnected at console login every time with password authentication. They are also system mounted within cygwin and always are available from the default cygwin bash shell. This works as solid as a rock on my Windows NT systems but on Windows 2000 it sometimes it works, and most of the time not. It seems as though it's related to how long it takes me to log in after the system has rebooted, but that could be a red-herring. I can't get it to work often enough to really figure out why/how it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Anybody got any ideas? In a related question, is it possible to have an SSH user authenticate themselves for their own private shares? If so, please point me in the right direction! ...This would be damned handy, privilege wise, for example, what about logging into a box that hasn't got anybody logged in at the console? Thanks much, Richard P.S. cygcheck version 1.32, Compiled on Mar 18, 2003 ...
