Reading a write-only file doesn't set error condition (was Re: Cygwin fread on Write-Only File Descriptor returns undefined state)
Thanks for the testcase. This looks like a small flaw in newlib.
I redirected to the newlib list.

I expect fread to return an error. But it doesn't.
It returns 0 as the number of bytes read, and the

In addition to fread not setting the error value, a value
of zero is returned. Zero is to be returned, *only* on
end-of-file or error. However, in the test case, neither

value is returned. Theoretically, this shouldn't happen
(i.e. it's an undefined set of return values).
test program follows:
---
#include stdio.h
main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
FILE * output_handle=fopen(/tmp/tmpfile,w);
if (!output_handle) {
printf (can't open output file /tmp/tmpfile\n);
exit (1);
}
char mybuff[4];
int retval=fread(mybuff, sizeof(char), 4, output_handle);
if (!retval) {
int eof=feof(output_handle);
int err=ferror(output_handle);
printf ((retval,eof,err) = (%d,%d,%d)\n,retval,eof,err);
if (!eof ! err)
printf (Undefined error: fread returned zero, but there is
no eof or error\n);
exit(2);
} else
printf (Unexpected success in fread: Read %d chars\n,retval);
exit(0);
}
I debugged your testcase and the problem appears to be in __srefill(),
defined in newlib/libc/stdio/refill.c:
/* if not already reading, have to be reading and writing */
if ((fp-_flags __SRD) == 0)
{
if ((fp-_flags __SRW) == 0)
return EOF;
So, what happens is that EOF is returned if the file is not readable.
Errno isn't set and the error condition on the file pointer isn't set
either.
Testing the same situation on Linux, errno is set to EBADF and the
error indicator is set on the file pointer, while the EOF condition
stays clear.
So, I'd like to propose the below patch. I assume a similar patch
should be ok for __sfvwrite, too, isn't it? There's a call to
cantwrite() which only returns EOF but which probably should also
set the error condition and errno.

trying to read a file not opened for reading.

Running PVM on Cygwin: /tmp/pvmd.459794: No such file or directory
Hello, I'm using latest Cygwin on WinXP and have managed to compile PVM 3.4.4 after few minor tweaks: 1) In conf/CYGWIN.def I've put: -DARCHCLASS=\CYGWIN\ -DRSHCOMMAND=\ssh\ (I use ssh keys) and also added -lrpclib -lreadline to ARCHDLIB and ARCHLIB 2) In console/cons.c I've added #include readline/history.h 3) In xdr/types.h I've removed prototype: extern char *malloc(); 4) my $HOME contains spaces: /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/afarber so I had do put quotes around -f $HOME/.somefilename in the pvm and pvmd scripts in several spots. After that PVM compiles fine, but I have troubles to start the pvm-console: $ /usr/local/pvmgmake/pvm3/lib/CYGWIN/pvm.exe /tmp/pvmhostfile.152 libpvm [pid3848] /tmp/pvmd.459794: No such file or directory libpvm [pid3848]: Console: Can't start pvmd $ cat /tmp/pvmhostfile.152 * dx=/usr/local/pvmgmake/pvm3/lib/pvmd 4DED01089 4ded01089 $ echo $PVM_ROOT $PVM_ROOT_U /usr/local/pvmgmake/pvm3 /usr/local/pvmgmake/pvm3 OpenSSH access works fine, this can't be the reason: $ ssh-add -l 1024 32:61:2a:cd:44:ac:29:cf:77:8f:88:0f:e4:c3:40:88 /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/afarber/.ssh/id_dsa (DSA) I suspect, that something very minor is missing (some space in a path or maybe .exe missing somewhere) I keep looking through PVM's source code to find the place, where pvm starts pvmd but haven't found that yet.

Re: cygrunsrv: error while starting PRNGD service

When I try to start the service, I get the infamous: Could not start the PRNGD service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator. This message is usually an indication that you are trying to run a daemon-type program (one that forks off the actual daemon and returns) with cygrunsrv. The whole intent of cygrunsrv is to take a program that needs to run continuously in the foreground, and turn it into a daemon. However, I am running sshd as a service, and vnc as well -- both using cygrunsrv. Notice that you needed to give the -D option to sshd to prevent it from going into the daemon mode. I also am able to run prngd.exe manually without any errors or log output. It successfully generates random numbers, as verified by the egd testing perl script, and it does not terminate prematurely. Ah, but does it run from the SYSTEM account? PRNGD does start an entropy gatherer program, which returns and terminates. Could this child process's termination and return value be causing cygrunsrv to 'think' that prngd.exe runs and then terminates? If it did, would prngd.exe still be running (it isn't)? Not likely. Everything seems to run fine, but doesn't start as a service. Suggestions Please? You have two options here: find out if there is a way to run PRNGD in non-daemon mode (via a command-line option, for example), or read about the --pidfile option to cygrunsrv. Dave may also be correct that this is a permission issue -- try starting a SYSTEM-owned bash shell (Google for it), and see if the program works from there.

This should be OK, believe it or not - the sunrpc headers use older

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_programming_language#K.26R_C
and the source code (clnt_tcp.c) definition had the line

It shouldn't. This is part of the sunrpc library - you shouldn't have
to rebuild it.
Instead, you should be able to use the clnttcp_create() function from
the library by including rpc/rpc.h in your source file, and linking to
the rpc libraries by using -lrpc. For example:
/*
Compile: gcc -o rpc-example.exe rpc-example.c -lrpc
*/
#include rpc/rpc.h
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
clnttcp_create(NULL, 0, 0, NULL, 0, 0);
return 0;
}
Note that the above doesn't actually do anything useful - it just shows
you how to include the rpc headers, and compile and link to the rpc
libraries.

Nope, you can't run a linux compiled binary on cygwin; the underlying O/S is too fundamentally different. Windows doesn't even use ELF format, for a start. So cygwin only emulates linux at the source-code level: everything needs to be recompiled, but it should just recompile and run straightforwardly. Therefore my guess is that you've tried to just move the library archive across and use it on the cygwin setup. That also won't work, for exactly the same reason why moving binaries won't work. The solution is the same as for binaries: recompile the library from source, so that you've got a windows-format library archive. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/

The cygwin installer now also creates a real directory on the windows file system called cygdrive, I don't know where you got this idea but it's absolutely not true. There should never be a physical directory backing the cygdrive prefix, and no package (and certainly not setup.exe) should ever create it. Some users may create it to assist in tab-completion, but that is something they would have done by hand. I agree that it shouldn't create this directory... But i have tried this a couple more times to verify. If i only do a base install, it does not create a physical cygdrive directory, but if i install everything, it does. (for reference, this is from a full download to disk on june 8, 2006 from the sourceware.mirrors.tds.net mirror). If anything does this, it will probably be a postinstall script that contains the string cygdrive. Grep through all .sh.done files in /etc/postinstall, and you'll likely find the culprit. This change was made in 1.5.19: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2006-01/msg00016.html. It was a change to the code in the DLL, and it has nothing to do with flags in the mount table. Great! This is what i was looking for. Do you think anyone at cygwin would consider making this feature optional in a later release? They will probably consider it and reject it. The spirit of open-source software is that you scratch what itches you, and others benefit. This is not something that itches any of the Cygwin developers. Hence, http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC. If you do plan to submit a patch, I suggest looking at the fhandler_disk_file::readdir() function, and changing it to optionally remove the virtual /cygdrive directory according to a new cygdrive flag (and add a corresponding mount option). That way, this behavior can be controlled according to people's tastes.

GDB Ctrl-C Interrupt Fails WORKAROUND
If you have ever tried to interrupt a program running under cygwin
gdb, you have probably experienced some frustration. Especially if
the program was built with -mno-cygwin.
Here is a workaround.
You've probably discovered that pressing Ctrl-C in the gdb window/
prompt while the program being debugged is running is a fruitless
exercise. Build the small debugbreak utility (source included in
this message below). Open a new cygwin command line prompt. Use ps -
W to find the WINPID of the process being debugged and then execute
debugbreak with that WINPID. gdb will then regain control and the
program being debugged will break just as though Ctrl-C was working
properly. Be sure to use the WINPID of the process being debugged
rather than the WINPID of gdb.
Program text follows below. Note that this workaround is also useful
for GUI front ends for the gdb debugger (such as ddd) that suffer
from this same problem.

In fact, I am sometimes frustrated when I actually want the CTRL-C to be propagated to the program but then I remember about the handle command. The only time that I can think of when a CTRL-C would not interrupt a program would be when you're running gdb under a cygwin pty or tty.

Re: cygrunsrv: error while starting PRNGD service
Igor Peshansky wrote: On Tue, 13 Jun 2006, Rich Chase wrote: I compiled PRNGD against cygwin and installed it as a cygrunsrv service. When I try to start the service, I get the infamous: Could not start the PRNGD service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator. This message is usually an indication that you are trying to run a daemon-type program (one that forks off the actual daemon and returns) with cygrunsrv. The whole intent of cygrunsrv is to take a program that needs to run continuously in the foreground, and turn it into a daemon. However, I am running sshd as a service, and vnc as well -- both using cygrunsrv. Notice that you needed to give the -D option to sshd to prevent it from going into the daemon mode. I also am able to run prngd.exe manually without any errors or log output. It successfully generates random numbers, as verified by the egd testing perl script, and it does not terminate prematurely. Ah, but does it run from the SYSTEM account? PRNGD does start an entropy gatherer program, which returns and terminates. Could this child process's termination and return value be causing cygrunsrv to 'think' that prngd.exe runs and then terminates? If it did, would prngd.exe still be running (it isn't)? Not likely. Everything seems to run fine, but doesn't start as a service. Suggestions Please? You have two options here: find out if there is a way to run PRNGD in non-daemon mode (via a command-line option, for example), or read about the --pidfile option to cygrunsrv. Dave may also be correct that this is a permission issue -- try starting a SYSTEM-owned bash shell (Google for it), and see if the program works from there. HTH, Igor Solved. Thanks to both Igor and Dave. As it turns out, I needed both pieces of advice -- my problem was a combination of both! Igor, you were dead on. I needed to tell prngd to create a pid file, and tell cygrunsrv where to put it: # cygrunsrv -I PRNGD -p /usr/sbin/prngd.exe -d PRNGD -f Pseudo-random Number Generator \ -a -p /var/run/prngd.pid -s /etc/prngd-seed /var/run/egd-pool -o -x /var/run/prngd.pid Also, by looking at my errors in the event log, I saw: failed: redirect_fd: open (1, /var/log/PRNGD.log): \ 13, Permission denied. From this I discovered that I had a left-over PRNGD.log file (windows doesn't recognize the case difference) that did not have SYSTEM write permissions. After fixing these two problems, prngd starts as a system service without a hitch. Thank you both.
