offenders are Java programs, but I can't find any evidence that the Sun JVM calls SetErrorMode. -Original Message- From: Larry Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2004 9:56 PM To: Benson Margulies; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SetErrorMode At 12:52 PM 3/21/2004, you

2004-03-21 Thread Benson Margulies
I'm trying to run some builds under cygwin with SetErrorMode set to avoid Windows dialog boxes in the event of hard errors. I'm failing. I get dialog boxes. Is cygwin doing anything to call SetErrorMode and undo my efforts, or do I need to look elsewhere? -- Unsubscribe info:

Probably stupid question about line termination

However we set up the text mode with mount, files referenced with drive letters are being read with DOS line termination. Is there a way to control this? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation:

We have pathnames that end up, sometimes, being passed to non-cygwin .exe, and other times that are used with cygwin programs. We've been using cygpath -m for this with a lot of success, but now we have to be more careful, evidently. -- Unsubscribe info:

I see that I missed a message. Corinna's message indicates that the intention is that the stack location of the child be identical to the parent, for pretty self-evident fork-semantics-reasons. I'll take another dip into the code and see if I can figure something out. -- Unsubscribe info:

Re: Memory Management on AMD64 in 32-bit mode

I've belatedly located Corinna Vinschen's email message about the requirement for the stack address in fork. Would anyone be willing to elaborate on how the existing code is going about accomplishing the task at hand? If not, at least knowing that this is the goal of the exercise should make it

The error message rather unambiguously indicates that VirtualAlloc is returning 0 with GetLastError() == 0. The call in question calls VirtualAlloc with parameters derived from a call to VirtualQuery against some stack storage. It seems that this version of Windows is not altogether pleased to see

I diffed a machine where I can build with a machine where I can't. I'm theorizing that the diff would be more informative, though nothing leaps out at me. The 'from' of the diff is the machine where I can compile. The 'to' is the machine where I can't. 3c3 Current System Time: Tue Dec 09

RE: Memory Management on AMD64 in 32-bit mode

This looks like a logic error in fork.cc/dcrt0.cc to me, but I'm probably not understanding something. alloc_stack_hard_way assumes that the memory at ci-stacktop is available. ci-stacktop is set to be the region of memory that contains a stack variable in the parent process at the time that
