Hi All,
I have come across a strange behaviour using native gcc on cygwin. I
understand that this issue is not 100% relevant to this list, but I am
hoping some one might have come across this issue before. Apologies for
any incovinience. I have posted the same on newlib mailing list too.
Consider this short code:
int fd = ::open("/tmp/errnotest", O_RDONLY | O_BINARY);
if (fd == -1) {
std::cerr << "open failed, errno=" << errno << ", strerror=" <<
strerror(errno) << std::endl;
std::cerr << "open failed, errno=" << errno << ", strerror=" <<
strerror(errno) << std::endl;
}
If I build the gcc compiler by providing --enable-threads=single option
in the configure stage, following is the output :
open failed, errno=2, strerror=No such file or directory
open failed, errno=2, strerror=No such file or directory
This is of course expected.
Hoewever if I build the compiler by providing --enable-threads=posix
option in the configure stage, the output is as follows :
open failed, errno=2, strerror=No such file or directory
open failed, errno=0, strerror=No error
That is , after the first call to errno, it is reset!!
Has anyone else experiened this before? Can anyone please help find out
what exactly is going wrong?
Regards,
Anurag
