Here's a bit more information from a debug build of cygwin; here I'm just trying to launch cygpath.exe:

Anything else I can try and provide? I wonder if it'd be worth having cygwin respect an environment variable like CYGWIN_USE_FAST_CWD_POINTER, so that users could opt out of this particular optimization if it happens to break on new versions of Windows, as I have seemingly encountered. As an aside, I had to make a couple of small patches to side-step gcc warnings (converted to errors) during build; I tried building with "-g -Og" flags. $ git diff diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/fhandler/fifo.cc b/winsup/cygwin/fhandler/fifo.cc index efea508ae..f288e874a 100644 --- a/winsup/cygwin/fhandler/fifo.cc +++ b/winsup/cygwin/fhandler/fifo.cc @@ -669,7 +669,7 @@ fhandler_fifo::create_shmem (bool only_open) { HANDLE sect; OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES attr; - NTSTATUS status; + NTSTATUS status = 0; LARGE_INTEGER size = { .QuadPart = sizeof (fifo_shmem_t) }; SIZE_T viewsize = sizeof (fifo_shmem_t); PVOID addr = NULL; diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/tty.cc b/winsup/cygwin/tty.cc index bf7c6010f..2cd4ae6ed 100644 --- a/winsup/cygwin/tty.cc +++ b/winsup/cygwin/tty.cc @@ -323,7 +323,7 @@ tty::wait_fwd () thread when the last data is transfered. */ const ULONGLONG sleep_in_nat_pipe = 16; const ULONGLONG time_to_wait = sleep_in_nat_pipe * 2 + 1/* margine */; - ULONGLONG elapsed; + ULONGLONG elapsed = 0; while (fwd_not_empty || (elapsed = GetTickCount64 () - fwd_last_time) < time_to_wait) { diff --git a/winsup/utils/kill.cc b/winsup/utils/kill.cc index fb45e4c9d..bcabcd47c 100644 --- a/winsup/utils/kill.cc +++ b/winsup/utils/kill.cc @@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ print_version () static const char * strsigno (int signo) { - static char sigbuf[8]; + static char sigbuf[32]; if (signo > 0 && signo < SIGRTMIN) return sys_sigabbrev[signo]; Thanks, Kevin On Tue, Feb 13, 2024 at 10:58 AM Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cyg...@cygwin.com> wrote: > > On Feb 13 10:01, Kevin Ushey via Cygwin wrote: > > On Tue, Feb 13, 2024 at 8:25 AM Corinna Vinschen wrote: > > > On Feb 13 11:09, Corinna Vinschen via Cygwin wrote: > > > > Other than that, the only thing you really could do at this point is to > > > > check Cygwin's find_fast_cwd_pointer() function and go through this > > > > function step by step, diving into the assembler code this function > > > > inspects trying to find out which of the memmem calls fails and how to > > > > fix it.
