Yes, but why was it decided to make that restriction? Either I am missing
something, or it is a pointless restriction.
The reason why I am suddenly interested is that the C++ standard says
that
this:
foo(SomeClass())
requires SomeClass's copy-constructor to be accessible (bizarre, no?) and
g++ 3.4 has decided to enforce this.
Even if that is in a method:
SomeClass *
SomeClass::funkyCopy() const
{
SomeClass *result(self);
}
?
Well, obviously in a method of SomeClass, private things of SomeClass are
accessible.
I wasn't able to convert what you mentioned above into a compilable example
(attached is my errorring attempt) - but even if I was, it's a bit deviously
mysterious, and may be entirely unneeded if we can make the copy-constructor
public.
So, unless I can make the
copy-constructor public (which I don't want to do if doing so risks other
problems), I need to rewrite all code like:
do_something(PackageSpecification(somename))
to:
PackageSpecification tmppkgspec(somename);
do_something(tmppkgspec);
which isn't very nice.
So we have code like that at the moment?
Certainly. 4 occurrences in IniDBBuilderPackage.cc and 1 in package_db.cc.

Eh? I can't find any. We have things like
setSourcePackage(PackageSpecification(name));
which at the end of the call chain does:
_packageversion::setSourcePackageSpecification(PackageSpecification
const aSpec)
{
_sourcePackage=aSpec;
}
which should not invoke the copy contructor. rather it is the assignment
operator.
PackageSpecification operator= (PackageSpecification const );
which is public, and should be usable.
gcc 3.x have all honoured the privateness of Foo aFoo(Foo());, and
whatever warning you are getting is probably correct.
As to the privateness of the copy constructor, I didn't comment it, but
neither did I implement it: thats an idiom I use, to cause compiler
errors when someone tries to do something that they aren't meant to.
You could certainly make it public and implement it if you choose.
However, showing the error you get might be more useful...

Re: [setup] Why does PackageSpecification have a private copy-constructor? (Robert?)
I can't see why setup's PackageSpecification class has a private
copy-constructor.
Am I missing something?
The reason why I am suddenly interested is that the C++ standard says that
this:
foo(SomeClass())
requires SomeClass's copy-constructor to be accessible (bizarre, no?) and
g++ 3.4 has decided to enforce this. So, unless I can make the
copy-constructor public (which I don't want to do if doing so risks other
problems), I need to rewrite all code like:
Actually, this makes perfect sense. When you do SomeClass(), without
using the new operator, you are telling the compiler to create this
instance on the stack, and then when you do foo(SomeClass()) you are
telling the compiler to pass this class by value. To do so requires
creating a copy.
If foo() only needs temporary access to the instance of SomeClass(),
then you can change foo() to accept a reference operator. Care must
be taken not to store the object passed by reference, because it will
obsolete as soon as the constuctor returns.
On the otherhand, if you want to have perminent access to SomeClass(),
then use the new operator, and change foo to accept a pointer.
foo(new SomeClass());
However, I would discourage this solution, because it is likely to end
with a memory leak, or an object that is deleted twice...
do_something(PackageSpecification(somename))
to:
PackageSpecification tmppkgspec(somename);
do_something(tmppkgspec);
This would not solve your problem. If you are trying to pass the
class by value, a copy will still need to be made.
BTW. I would discourage all of these examples. Why? Because I
firmly believe in using a smart pointer class, and making the actual
constructors private. i.e.
class Something
{
private Something() {}
public static SmartPointerSomething create()
{ return new Something(); }
...
}
If that was followed for all the code, then your original example would have
been written:
foo.create(Something.create());
Assuming the SmartPointer template is correctly written, this
eliminates the possibility of memory leaks from unreferenced objects.

As it happens the signature is void foo(SomeClass const ); This would not solve your problem. If you are trying to pass the class by value, a copy will still need to be made. And? there are two separate copy methods for classes: assignment operator and copy constructor. In this case the assignment operator is written and public, and the existing, working code has no copy constructor written. BTW. I would discourage all of these examples. Why? Because I firmly believe in using a smart pointer class, and making the actual constructors private. i.e. These two things are orthogonal. Smart pointers are good, but making the constructors private forces the class to be foreign storage only, which can be an unnecessary burden. ...

I'm not keen on having an explicit constructor doing exactly what the implicit one would do. I thing that would prove quite confusing for any new people trying to understand the code - I know it would be quite puzzling for me, met without context. Also, gcc might do better optimizing away a non-existent constructor than an explicit one - though I don't have any supporting evidence, it seems plausible. Unless we add explicit copy-constructors to every single class, I'd rather just leave it out and let the compiler handle things implicitly? It seems cleaner to me. That's what I'll commit for now, on the premise that removing the private copy-constructor is a step in the right direction, whether we end up with it explicit or implicit. Max.

Problem with setup 2.427 under Windows 2000
Hi all. I am attempting to run setup.exe, version 2.427 under Windows 2000 Professional on a Toshiba laptop. After making all the setup option selections, the setup fails, with a dialog window saying 'setup.exe has been terminated by Windows. You will need to restart the program'. The first time I tried to run setup, I looked in 'setup\var\log'. It said that Cygwin could not detect McShield because McAfee is not installed. I am aware that setup has problems running simultaneously with anti-virus software, but I have no anti-virus software on the computer (as the error diagnostic indicates). This computer is not connected to the internet. So I had to download and burn the tarballs to CD on another machine. I then copied the files from CD to a folder residing on my desktop on the machine in question...and am attempting to run setup from this folder. This is my first time posting to this list and trying to use Cygwin. Many apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere (I've read several postings with regard to 2.427 setup - but none addressing quite the same concern as mine).

Re: ssh reliability problems
tunneling X traffic over ssh seems to fail at the four to six hour mark. all the connections shutdown with little reported information. Normal ssh sessions stay running fine. autossh might help. It starts ssh sessions and periodically checks them to make sure that they're still passing data-- if they're not, it terminates them and starts a new one. This is often helpful, but maybe not in your case, since you say that other tunnels are still good after the X tunnels fail. I don't know what would cause that. Good luck, Andrew.

Re: cygrunsrv xinetd problem
The thing is, I suppose, that it's not the fault of cygrunsrv's logging. It's a problem with xinetd internal logging, according to sources made by some kind of utility 'xlog' (I haven't heard about it). Precisely, I think, that the error is raised by function 'msg_init' in file 'msg.c', somewhere here (i use code cutting): type_of_xlog = XLOG_FILELOG ; xh = xlog_create( type_of_xlog, program_name, XLOG_PRINT_ID + XLOG_PRINT_PID, filelog_option_arg, LOG_OPEN_FLAGS, LOG_FILE_MODE ) ; if ( xh == NULL ) if ( type_of_xlog == XLOG_FILELOG ) return( can't open log file ) ; As, i don't have 'xlog' sources, I don't know what is the exact path of the trouble-making log file. However, I suspect that it might be a problem of doubling the logfile: cygrunsrv opens /var/log/xinetd.log to write his messages, and next xinetd tries to open the same file for his logging. How do you think, is it possible, and if so, what should I do to overcome the problem? Well, if you really think it's a clash between cygrunsrv's log and xinetd's one, you can instruct cygrunsrv to use a different log name using the -1 and -2 cygrunsrv arguments (see cygrunsrv --help for details). Yes, this helps, after these three lines: $ cygrunsrv -R xinetd $ cygrunsrv -I xinetd -p /usr/sbin/xinetd -d 'CYGWIN xinetd' -1 /dev/null -2 /dev/null $ cygrunsrv -S xinetd xinetd service runs just well.

Re: Professionally produced Cygwin CD?
I do desperately need a full install of Cygwin on my PC. Things will go easier with my sysadmin if I can hand him a professional-looking CD and say install this. A full install won't fit on one CD. Including all .src files and all of [prev] and [test] as well as [curr] you need about 2.0-2.2 GB under release/ just for the Cygwin resource. A while ago (12 months or more) I know from experience that it was both possible and practical to fit all the [curr] non-.src files on to a CD and fully install from that. But I suspect that the Cygwin provision is now so great that even that is now no longer possible: too tight a squeeze. Remarkably, growing the Cygwin resource into a working Cygwin system also requires about 2 GB. So: it is really not possible to offer your sysadmin one CD and say explode that (a release+setup CD) or copy that (a copy of a Cygwin image). Nor do I think the latter could be shrunk as a .tgz, but I suppose anything is possible. By the way you say my PC. Why are you involving anybody else at all? As a different topic entirely: A tailored non-full resource (release+setup) could be made to fit on one CD. Also, there are references on this list ( http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-07/msg01117.html and others ) to a working portable CD system that works off CD on any Windows machine you care to slot the thing into. There is some effort required to make this CD, but it too requires a decision about What To Leave Out. This does not sound like what you want, either.

Re: os.path.join inconsistency?
Jason, I agree the behaviour I'm arguing for is debatable. After taking a look at ntpath.py and posixpath.py, I see that a satisfactory solution would be tricky. I'll play around with a made-up hack like cygwinpath.py to see if it is worth pursuing...

RE: sshd automatically close connection after successful login
I am having similar problems under windows 2003, but perhaps the problem is really with the latest ssh. I noticed the following which I feel is a clue, but do not know what to make of it: When I log into via ssh and specify a password and get an interactive shell and do a id command I get the following: uid=11103(Cary Lewis) gid=10513(Domain Users) groups=10512(Domain Admins),10513( Domain Users),2(Field Service Config),11356(Fuel - Integration),11702(Global MCCDEVS1),11767(MCCNET NxTGeN),11522(NMD - Full Access),11523(NMD - Read Access ),12133(PCN Writers),12156(Source safe access),12173(SPR),12143(Staff Update),0( root),544(Administrators),545(Users) But if I specify id on the command line: uid=1(MCCNET\Cary+Lewis) gid=2(MCCNET\Domain+Users) groups=3(Everyone),4(Users), 5(Administrators),6(INTERACTIVE),7(Authenticated+Users),8(This+Organizat ion),8(T his+Organization),9(MCCNET\Global+MCCDEVS1),10(MCCNET\NMD+-+Read+Access) ,11(MCCN ET\Domain+Admins),12(MCCNET\MCCNET+NxTGeN),13(MCCNET\NMD+-+Full+Access), 14(MCCNE T\SPR),15(MCCNET\PCN+Writers),16(MCCNET\Staff+Update),17(MCCNET\Field+Se rvice+Co nfig),18(MCCNET\Fuel+-+Integration),19(MCCNET\Source+safe+access),20(MCC NET\Deve lopers) This happens with or without privilege separation enable in sshd_config. This must be why the shell auto logs out if authorized_keys is used to auto login, and I think this is why I can't access /dev/st0 from a command run on the ssh line. Okay, it appears as though the directory structure is messed up! When I try to ls -l / on a ssh cmd line, I get c:\ files, not c:\cygwin If I try to explicitly run /cygwin/bin/mount.exe I get: bash: line 1: /cygwin/bin/mount.exe: No such file or directory but: $ ssh localhost ls /cygwin/bin/mou* /cygwin/bin/mount.exe As well: + ssh localhost 'echo $PATH' [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/ cygdrive /c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/MAX/bin:/cygd rive/c/PROGRA~1/Vision:/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/Vision/SYSTEM:/cygdrive/c/PR OGRA~1/C OMMON~1/VisionC:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/BINN:/cygdrive/c/Pr ogram Files/Symantec/pcAnywhere/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Roxio Sh ared/DLLShared:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SDK/Bin/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SDK/Bin/WinNT/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/ActiveState Komodo 2.5/ :/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Compuware/TestPartner:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Compu ware/TestPartner/AppExtDlls:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/ActiveState Komodo 3.0/:/c ygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/MKSTOO~1/bin:/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/MKSTOO~1/bin/X11:/c ygdrive/ c/PROGRA~1/MKSTOO~1/mksnt:/cygdrive/c/SFU/common/:.:/bin I have other Unix emulators installed on the computer, namely mks and sfu, but these do not interfere with a interactive login via ssh, but perhaps sshd is not finding the resources it needs.

All Windows-based (non-cygwin) programs behave as designed. If I download *any* cygwin program, for instance, there is the bundled version of rsync and cygwin (cwrsync) available, it does not behave properly and access the network appropriately. And do the programs that work connect directly or do they use IE settings? FWIW, 'setup.exe' does not use 'cygwin1.dll' so it's not simply a problem with Cygwin programs. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

Perl searching in wrong path for modules?
Hi, i wanted to use cygwin perl for executing perl scripts from (win32, the one from apache.org, not the cygwin one) Apache, so i included the line #!D:/cygwin/bin/perl.exe -w in my CGIs. But now i have the problem that perl looks in the wrong folder for the Perl Modules, for example if i want to load Archive::Zip, it trys to load it from D:\usr\lib\perl5\site_perl\5.8.5\XML\Simple.pm instead of D:\cygwin(\usr)\lib\perl5\site_perl\5.8.5\XML\Simple.pm. So i wonder if this is a bug in cygwin perl or rather a bug in Apache (or a error from my side even?). I attached the cygcheck output, if it matters. My OS is Windows 2000, Apache was 2.0.50, Cygwin is 1.5.10-cr-0x5e6.

Strange behaviours: attributable to XP SP2?
There have been two strange changes in behaviour/ response/ output that I have noticed recently, and that I can only attribute to the installation of XP SP2, since that is all that has altered on my system. Has anybody else who has installed SP2 noticed this, or similar, or anything else (or nothing)? I had been using the latest cygwin1.dll snapshot but reverted to the current cygwin1.dll when I noticed this. The behaviours remain evident. They are awfully annoying. 1. setup: the column width allowed for Current is now greatly increased and without tediously dragging the column border leftwards or panning the viewed section rightwards, the only viable approach is to operate setup using full screen. Otherwise, the columns to the right of Current (New, etc) are occasionally non-empty but invisible, so quite what new users think they are being told/ asked to do, I cannot imagine. If this really is a consequence of installing SP2 (rather than just me failing to cope properly with some unconnected alteration in presentation) then it's a bit of a blow. 2. cygcheck -c used to present its output package version OK or maybe occasionally package version Incomplete very conveniently, package by package, line after line. Now after installing SP2 either blank lines alternate, or the word OK is presented below the information package..version.. (though as far as I can tell there is no ^J causing the line break). Again, it seems to me that something has changed -- and not for the better -- in XP's grasp of useable screen width. Of course, it could be my horrible machine or my bad driving of it.

mod-php4
Hi! I've gleaned from the archives that mod-php4 was pulled because it was broken, and that a new maintainer has taken over apache + modules. Is there any use in hoping that mod-php4 will be added soon? I need it for a SquirrelMail setup I've been asked to provide on Windows... :-/ I've had a shot at building php4 myself, but failed miserably: bash-2.05b$ make install Installing PHP SAPI module: apache apxs:Error: file libs/libphp4.so is not a DSO make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 The only files on libs are libphp4.a (8MB) and libphp4.la (700 bytes). I've searched for help on this, but the similar reports are either very old, very clueless, very cryptic or very complex. I definitely would feel much more comfortable with a packaged setup of PHP. That being said, any pointers to alternatives to SquirrelMail (preferrably lighter-weight, and for an IMAP backend) would be welcome...

Re: Perl searching in wrong path for modules?
I'm probably going to get you in trouble here (seeing as I know nothing about perl or apache).

Re: Professionally produced Cygwin CD?
I might be able to do something along those lines. I have been keeping a mirror and while I pretty much dropped the whole idea of doing a mass run on it (due to the rate it goes out of date) I can do it. The distro will be the contents of a mirror including mailing list archives complete to this day. It will also contain all the packages currently available on a standard cygwin mirror. The only difference is that you will be installing from a dvd. Yes. To get it all you need to use one. To mirror cygwin it takes almost 2GB to do so. Email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will see what I can arrange.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: ocaml-3.08.1-1
The ocaml package has been added to the Cygwin distribution. Objective Caml is a fast modern type-inferring functional programming language descended from the ML (Meta Language) family, containing objects, modules, and a high-performance native-code compiler. The O'Caml compiler was developed at INRIA Rocquencourt, projet Cristal. See http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/ for more information. Notes: - This package includes two compilers: the bytecode compiler and the native compiler. Each compiler also exists in two versions -- bytecode and native (i.e., each compiler was built with the bytecode compiler and the native compiler, in turn). - This package also includes all the libraries and packages in /usr/lib/ocaml, including labltk. You will need to install the tcltk package and possibly the X11 packages to use labltk. The labltk package wasn't tested on Cygwin, so use at your own risk. - There may have been a temporary glitch in uploading the packages. This has been fixed on the master site, but some mirrors may have pulled the corrupted version of the package in the meantime. If you're unlucky enough to have selected such a mirror, try another mirror. FWIW, mirrors updated at any point after August 31, 14:08 GMT should be fine (look at the timestamp on setup.bz2). To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select Interpreters or Devel and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin at cygwin dot com. I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the List-Unsubscribe: tag in the email header of this message.

Re: Strange behaviours: attributable to XP SP2?
Thank you for your rapid responses. Maybe I have induced an irrelevance by mentioning my recent upgrade to SP2. I took a look at cygcheck -s in the barest possible bash shell (usually I use rxvt) to try to make sense of what's happening. The output consists of package w1 version w2 ^M^J where w1 and w2 are white space and there's some nice background effort gone into spacing to ensure column alignment. In my case (why not yours?!) w2 is approx 160 spaces wide (seen using od). I find this remarkable and explains the extraordinary newline's that appear in the output. Also cygcheck -c providing package w1 version w2 OK (not) also has w2 equal to approx 160 spaces. (Approx because of the simultaneous successful efforts at neat column alignment in the output.)

A big file for the Cygwin API Reference
Hi, I've noticed that it's possible to download the Cygwin FAQ (and also the User Guide) from www.cygwin.com as one large file instead of examining individual pages of each online. However, this is not possible with the API reference, and so I would like to contribute a big file of the individual HTML pages (stored in a zip file, or a gz file created in WinZip 8.1 - I haven't installed Cygwin yet so can't use gzip). Could someone from RedHat please tell me: 1.) Which compressed format would be preferred? 2.) What encoding should I use for the HTML pages? (Unicode(UTF-8) and Western European(Windows) seem to be the only suitable encodings I can offer.) 3.) How to send this to RedHat/Cygwin - the website's information about contributions doesn't help me with submitting this sort of contribution. Thanks for any help, James McLaughlin. ___ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: ssh - no access to /dev/st0
At 03:02 PM 8/31/2004, you wrote: If I add sshd_server to the Administrators group, I can auto logon via ssh (using authorized_keys). Even though this is supposed to happen via ssh-host-config. From '/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README': 2003 Server has a funny new feature. When starting services under SYSTEM account, these services have nearly all user rights which SYSTEM holds... except for the Create a token object right, which is needed to allow public key authentication :-( There's no way around this, except for creating a substitute account which has the appropriate privileges. Basically, this account should be member of the administrators group, plus it should have the following user rights: Create a token object Logon as a service Replace a process level token Increase Quota The ssh-host-config script asks you, if it should create such an account, called sshd_server. If you say no here, you're on your own. Please follow the instruction in ssh-host-config exactly if possible. Note that ssh-user-config sets the permissions on 2003 Server machines dependent of whether a sshd_server account exists or not. So your 'sshd_server' user should be a member of the administrators group if it's going to work. Did you use 'ssh-host-config' to create it in the first place? Does rerunning it make it any better? But I still do not have access to /dev/st0, but if I disable auto-logon and type in my password, all works. The interesting thing is that the id command returns a different set of groups for me when I log on automatically or I specify the password. The uid and gid are the same, but the list of groups is different: For the automatic logon I only get Domain Admins and Users Any suggestions would be appreciated. Beyond what I already suggested (below), which I still think is valid/worthwhile advice, you might also review your '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' too.

Problem with setup 2.427 under Windows 2000
Hi all. I am attempting to run setup.exe, version 2.427 under Windows 2000 Professional on a Toshiba laptop. After making all the setup option selections, the setup fails, with a dialog window saying 'setup.exe has been terminated by Windows. You will need to restart the program'. The first time I tried to run setup, I looked in 'setup\var\log'. It said that Cygwin could not detect McShield because McAfee is not installed. I am aware that setup has problems running simultaneously with anti-virus software, but I have no anti-virus software on the computer (as the error diagnostic indicates). This computer is not connected to the internet. So I had to download and burn the tarballs to CD on another machine. I then copied the files from CD to a folder residing on my desktop on the machine in question...and am attempting to run setup from this folder. This is my first time posting to this list and trying to use Cygwin. Many apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere (I've read several postings with regard to 2.427 setup - but none addressing quite the same concern as mine).
