[PATCH] Mouse reporting modes 1006 and 1015 for extended coordinates
This patch implements mouse modes 1006 and 1015 for the cygwin console
(no experimental add-ons this time :) ).
They enable unlimited mouse coordinate reporting like recent xterm,
mintty, urxvt. If someone is interested, I could also implement mouse
mode 1005.
Thomas
2012-04-03 Thomas Wolff t...@towo.net
* fhandler.h (class dev_console): Two flags for extended mouse modes.
* fhandler_console.cc (fhandler_console::read): Implemented
extended mouse modes 1015 (urxvt, mintty, xterm) and 1006 (xterm).
Not implemented extended mouse mode 1005 (xterm, mintty).
Supporting mouse coordinates greater than 222 (each axis).
Also: two { wrap formatting consistency fixes.
(fhandler_console::char_command) Initialization of enhanced
mouse reporting modes.

* semi-fix for missing terminal status responses
The fix tries to detect the proper fhandler for CONIO, which is then
used to queue the response.
Problem 1: I am not sure whether this detection is proper in all cases,
what e.g. if /dev/tty is reopened etc. I don't know where else a
relation between the handles for CONIN and CONOUT might be established.
Problem 2: While the response reaches the application with this patch,
only the first byte is read right-away. Further bytes are delayed until
other input is becoming present (typing a key). This may (or may not) be
related to other issues with select(), so maybe it's worth analyzing it.

You *definitely* just can't squirrel away a pointer to a random fhandler
here.
...
`this' is a pointer to a fhandler. You can't just store it in a static
location and use it whenever you want later. You have no idea how long
this fhandler will be around. What happens if it's destroyed?
Yes, that's why I mentioned problem 1 above. The patch is experimental,
and it revealed that even if the missing relation could be properly
established, there's still the other problem... (see below).
Do we really care about console mode that much now that mintty is the
default?
Maybe not, but the fact that it works partially but subsequent
characters are postponed resembles the other problem that I have just reported
tocyg...@cygwin.com, which makes me wonder whether there is one common problem.
Also when I originally tweaked the mouse code, I couldn't completely
understand the code in select.cc (only got it to work by pattern
matching code...). I did notice, however, that select and read were
inconsistent in the sense that an application having called select()
with a positive response may not be able to get a byte with a subsequent
read(), because criteria were re-evaluated and could have different
results (esp. in border cases). I did fix it by strictly applying the
same guard routine for both cases, but only for the mouse code branch.
If you have an example of actual failing code then please post it.
My point is: The function that doesn't work here,
puts_readahead/put_readahead,
is also called in fhandler_pty_master::accept_input () (fhandler_tty.cc)
and in fhandler_termios::line_edit () (fhandler_termios.cc),
and I remember pipe and/or pty problems being discussed recently.
Also there is the input delay issue in mintty/xterm I described (and
by the way, I forgot to mention it does not happen anymore in the
terminal after rlogin to another system) and somehow I suspect they
might have a common cause, or similar causes.

I have updated syslog-ng to the upstream release 3.2.5. The upstream package needed a few minor patches, mainly a heartily autoreconf, as well as adding a missing cygwin-specific file. The package is now created using cygport. 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.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Cygwin 1.7.12
Hi Cygwin friends and users, I just released 1.7.12. This is mainly a bugfix release, but a couple of bigger changes were required under the hood to fix some of the bugs. What's new: === - Cygwin now automatically populates the /dev directory with all existing POSIX devices. - Add virtual /proc/PID/mountinfo file. - flock now additionally supports the following scenario, which requires to propagate locks to the parent process: ( flock -n 9 || exit 1 # ... commands executed under lock ... } 9/var/lock/mylockfile Only propagation to the direct parent process is supported so far, not to grand parents or sibling processes. - Add a detect_bloda setting for the CYGWIN environment variable to help finding potential BLODAs. Bug fixes: == - Fix a subtle, long-standing bug when reading the CYGWIN environment variable, which could result in overwriting unrelated memory. - Fix wrong MB_CUR_MAX setting at process startup. - Define tcgetsid with correct return type. - Fix Ctrl-C handling in the console for Cygwin processes. - Fix a bug in controlling tty handling when duplicating a console descriptor. - More fixes to handle DLL loading correctly. - Fix a problem with a Windows network function misbehaving if the stack of the current thread is in the high address area. Typically this only affected 64 bit systems. - Fix a bug in Cygwin executable recognition which could result in some applications not started correctly. - Don't handle 0 bytes reads on pipes as EOF. - Fix scenarios in which the signal handling between parent and child process were broken due to a race condition. - Fix a memory leak in synchronization calls like sleep or pthread_cond_timedwait. - Fix definitions of MCAST_INCLUDE and MCAST_EXCLUDE in cygwin/socket.h. - Simplify system time handling, fix return values of clock_getres and clock_setres for CLOCK_REALTIME, and fix potential infinite loop due to overaggressive optimization. - Avoid using a potentially unrelated handle as stdio handle. - Fix a few potential crashes.

If so, when is the next cygwin bug release due out? I am running Windows 7 and just upgraded to 1.7.11 - attached is the output of cygcheck. I think that it may be bash, not cygwin. Bash does not exit with ^C, but will with ^D. See SIGNALS in man bash. (A feature, not a bug.)

Re: Is this supposed to work this way?
On 4/3/2012 7:35 PM, Andrey Repin wrote: what is the standard way of detecting OS type? uname -o ? The wise try not to do that at all. Instead, take in a little wisdom from the people who created autoconf, a piece of software that's been uncommonly successful[*] by FOSS standards: don't test for platforms, test for features. The reason is, platform feature sets change. When you write software that makes decisions based on platforms, it tends to break when those changes happen. Or, nearly as bad, your software continues to use some workaround that eventually becomes unnecessary when the platform fixes the problem that lead you to create the workaround. It's the latter case I'd worry about here. What's happening is that because you're launching the shell script through some Windows-native mechanism (double-clicking it in Explorer, maybe?) it's getting a Windows style path in $0. Maybe cygwin1.dll will one day detect that situation and translate the path automatically. The way I'd suggest you attack the problem is do a regex match on $0 to see if it looks like a Windows path, then run it through cygpath if so. ^[A-Z]:/ is probably a good enough test; it's unlikely to ever match a path your script gets on other platforms. A false positive would require that someone be *trying* to create an MS-DOS style path system on a *ix box, something far to ooky to believe has ever happened. But then, people are strange. Resist the temptation to back up the path style test with a platform test like the [ -f /bin/cygwin1.dll ] suggested by Barry. If the path looks like a Windows path, have the backbone to just send the path blindly through cygpath. If ever you run into a situation where cygpath doesn't exist but the path matches your regex, fix the regex or add a secondary feature test, don't resort to platform detection.

IIUC gcc4-java is an explicit exception at the moment -- because there have been concerns about ecj's license, as well as self hosting concerns. 1) Licensing. If you want to discuss this bit further, take it to the cygwin-licensing list. Now, ecj is under the EFL-1.0 license, which is OSI-approved. So, *cygwin* shouldn't have any license compatibility concerns, thanks to cygwin's exception clause in its version of the GPL: As a special exception to GPLv3+, Red Hat grants you permission to link software whose sources are distributed under a license that satisfies the Open Source Definition with libcygwin.a, without libcygwin.a itself causing the resulting program to be covered by GPLv3+. However, it's not clear whether the *gcc* folks are as happy about co-shipping ecj (if they were, then they would be doing it already). So, stock gcc doesn't directly include ecj even though you'd need it for a working gcj (bytecode) compiler. And, following that pattern, cygwin's gcc packages have not been *patched* to directly include a copy of ecj; they attempt to remain pretty close to upstream (we've learned the hard way not to stray far from the upstream codebase; that way lies madness.) 2) self-hosting. I seem to recall there was some issue with actually building ecj using cygwin-gcc/gcj, but the details are fuzzy. So there was some reluctance to include a binary blob we can't reproduce from source; better to let end-users d/l so they can blame those guys if they get a corrupt/malware version? So, if we don't include ecj directly...then if we followed strict policy we couldn't have gcc4-java at all. That's obviously not a good solution. So...gcc4-java was an explicit exception to the make sure everything you need is included policy. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Updated: syslog-ng-3.2.5-1
I have updated syslog-ng to the upstream release 3.2.5. The upstream package needed a few minor patches, mainly a heartily autoreconf, as well as adding a missing cygwin-specific file. The package is now created using cygport. 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. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** 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.

Updated: Cygwin 1.7.12
Hi Cygwin friends and users, I just released 1.7.12. This is mainly a bugfix release, but a couple of bigger changes were required under the hood to fix some of the bugs. What's new: === - Cygwin now automatically populates the /dev directory with all existing POSIX devices. - Add virtual /proc/PID/mountinfo file. - flock now additionally supports the following scenario, which requires to propagate locks to the parent process: ( flock -n 9 || exit 1 # ... commands executed under lock ... } 9/var/lock/mylockfile Only propagation to the direct parent process is supported so far, not to grand parents or sibling processes. - Add a detect_bloda setting for the CYGWIN environment variable to help finding potential BLODAs. Bug fixes: == - Fix a subtle, long-standing bug when reading the CYGWIN environment variable, which could result in overwriting unrelated memory. - Fix wrong MB_CUR_MAX setting at process startup. - Define tcgetsid with correct return type. - Fix Ctrl-C handling in the console for Cygwin processes. - Fix a bug in controlling tty handling when duplicating a console descriptor. - More fixes to handle DLL loading correctly. - Fix a problem with a Windows network function misbehaving if the stack of the current thread is in the high address area. Typically this only affected 64 bit systems. - Fix a bug in Cygwin executable recognition which could result in some applications not started correctly. - Don't handle 0 bytes reads on pipes as EOF. - Fix scenarios in which the signal handling between parent and child process were broken due to a race condition. - Fix a memory leak in synchronization calls like sleep or pthread_cond_timedwait. - Fix definitions of MCAST_INCLUDE and MCAST_EXCLUDE in cygwin/socket.h. - Simplify system time handling, fix return values of clock_getres and clock_setres for CLOCK_REALTIME, and fix potential infinite loop due to overaggressive optimization. - Avoid using a potentially unrelated handle as stdio handle. - Fix a few potential crashes.
