Hi, I'm using Cygwin for executing build scripts. Thereby I encounter the following error sporadically:
44 [main] bash 21136! _pinfo::dup_proc_pipe: DuplicateHandle failed, pid 21136, hProcess 0x158, wr_proc_pipe 0xF8, Win32 error 5 The mailing list archives also know about the problem (but I didn't found a solution), see _pinfo::dup_proc_pipe: DuplicateHandle failed <http://lists-archives.org/cygwin/35191-_pinfo-dup_proc_pipe-duplicatehandle-failed.html> [1.7.0-49] DuplicateHandle failed <http://lists-archives.org/cygwin/45068-duplicatehandle-failed.html> I can reproduce the problem using the following shell script: test.sh: 01 #!/bin/bash 02 03 PATH="${PATH}:$(cygpath -u "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/bin")" 04 CC="cl" 05 CFLAGS="-nologo -EP" 06 TEMPLATE="test.tc" 07 RUNS=3000 08 09 i=0 10 while [ $i -lt ${RUNS} ]; do 11 ( 12 ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${TEMPLATE} > test${i}.c 13 rm -f test${i}.tc 14 ) & 15 (( i++ )) 16 done 17 wait The template contains only the following include statement to keep the compiler somewhat busy: test.tc: 01 #include <stdio.h> The sample uses the Microsoft C/C++ compiler but I guess it should work with other compilers too - just adapt binary and flags (e.g. the GNU C/C++ comiler takes '-E' for the flags). Please keep me on the CC list as I'm not subscribed to the mailing list.
