Well, here is a simple test case, but turns out I wasn't using the
latest version. I was having the problem on 1.5.12, I haven't been
able to get a good build with cygwin 1.5.17-1. It builds and I can
run the install script, but when I put the dll in place I see the
message "cygheap magic number mismatch detected", and gcc doesn't
want to work.
I had a similar problem (see
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg01251.html>). It turned out it
was because I was using the latest release of binutils. Try rolling
back to the previous release.
Ok, I rolled binutils to 20041229, rebuilt and copied the new dll.
It's having the same issue that I see in 1.5.12. When I debug the
program, I see that the signal is being sent, but it doesn't get
executed.
I've looked at the cygwin code, and I have noticed that the sleep
(nanosleep) is calling pthread::cancelable_wait, and that will call
WaitForMultipleObjects. However, in pthread_mutex::_lock, it's only
using WaitForSingleObject. I'm wondering if something like
WaitForMultipleObjects should be added to the lock function so that
signals (SIGCHLD, in my case) can be handled.
It's just a guess since I'm not an expert with this code.
Enjoy,
Peter
