fhandler_fifo::clone called fhandler_base::clone on each client fhandler. But those fhandlers are actually fhandler_fifo objects, so when fhandler_base::clone calls copyto, it's actually fhandler_fifo::copyto that gets called. This can lead to mysterious crashes.
Fix this by simply calling clone (which translates to fhandler_fifo::clone) on each client fhandler. --- winsup/cygwin/fhandler.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/fhandler.h b/winsup/cygwin/fhandler.h index f6982f0ba..ef34f9c40 100644 --- a/winsup/cygwin/fhandler.h +++ b/winsup/cygwin/fhandler.h @@ -1316,7 +1316,7 @@ public: fhandler_fifo *fhf = new (ptr) fhandler_fifo (ptr); copyto (fhf); for (int i = 0; i < nclients; i++) - fhf->client[i].fh = client[i].fh->fhandler_base::clone (); + fhf->client[i].fh = client[i].fh->clone (); return fhf; } }; -- 2.17.0
