System call which gets CPU utilized capacity

[Alex Vinokur]

Is there in CYGWIN any system call which gets CPU utilized capacity at the present 
moment?
For instance :
int get_cpu_usage() which returns the percentage of used capacity.

I would like to write in my C-program something like :

if (get_cpu_usage() < 20)
{
   foo1();  // calling foo1() will be postponed
}
else
{
   foo2();
}

Can you check how often the function cygwin_posix_to_win32_path_list_buf_size()
is called?  Does that happen fairly often?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: patch-2.5.8-8

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of patch to 2.5.8-8...

...already a few days ago, but I forgot to announce.

It's a bug fix release which should solve problems reading input
files (files to patch) having DOS lineendings.  It should also solve
a potential screwing up file content i --binary mode, if the temp
directory is on another device than the output file.

This patch requires Cygwin 1.5.3 ff.


To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the
Cygwin mailing list at: "cygwin at cygwin dot com".  I would appreciate
it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

 Right, now that you mention it I remember seeing it. My ideas ran obsolete

 Most likely... Some wording regarding "download the debug info" needs to be
added to "problems.html" - I guess.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: SWI-Prolog-5.2.6-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

This new package contains SWI-Prolog, an open source interpreter
and compiler for Prolog.

This is the latest stable release 5.2.6.  This package is built
from the vanilla sources with only two additional `#ifndef __CYGWIN__'
in one file to get it built.  It requires Cygwin 1.5.x to run.

SWI-Prolog is an ISO compatible Prolog compiler.  It has a good
collection of built-in predicates, a large set of which it shares
with Edinburgh C-Prolog, Quintus Prolog and SICStus Prolog.  Among
its features are a very fast compiler, a Quintus-like module system,
library autoloading, garbage collection, atom garbage collection,
fast bidirectional C interface, true C++ interface, execution profiling
and many more.

The installed interpreter/compiler is called "pl".  `man pl' gives
you a first start.

See the SWI-Prolog home page at http://www.swi-prolog.org for more
details.


To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Devel" or
"Interpreters" and then click on the appropriate field until the above
announced version number appears if it is not displayed already.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .  I would appreciate it if you would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list
is the appropriate place.

Just noticed there is a difference between 'ls -l simulator' and 'ls -l
simulator.lnk'. The former actually shows only 'simulator', not 'simulator.lnk'
as 'ls -l' does.
So here is the strace of 'ls -l simulator.lnk'

I assume the call is the same as in any other Unix system, since "top"
worked for me with almost no porting about a year ago.  You might want to
take a look at the sources for the "procps" package.

ncurses line drawing characters terminfo problem?

[Andrew B. Clegg]

Hi folks,

First off thanks all for the continuing good work on Cygwin and all its
packages.

I have a question regarding ncurses...

When I run the test executables in /bin/ncurses-test-dll, line-drawing
graphics characters come out as high-ascii latin-1 characters, e.g.
capital As with umlauts or upside-down question marks.

This behaviour is the same in Windows console windows and in rxvt in
Windows mode (haven't tried it in X mode). I've tried various settings for
the TERM variable (cygwin, xterm, ansi, vt100) and although they all
display different characters, none of them actually come out with line art
characters.

I've also tried changing my font from Lucida Console to Raster Fonts in
the hope that might make a difference, but it doesn't.

I haven't messed with my terminfo/termcap; any ideas what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew.

Try adding "codepage:oem" to your CYGWIN environment variable.  See
 for details.  This
setting is effective for each individual process, so you can set it in the
shell just before you run the tests.

That works for console windows but not for rxvt, strangely -- it's a start
though, thanks.

As in the part that says:

  Latest Cygwin DLL release version is 1.5.3-1

or the part that says:

  New Cygwin DLL 1.5.3-1 release

  An update release for the Cygwin DLL and its accompanying utilities.
  Sep 1 2003, Christopher Faylor

Both changes were made on 2003-09-01 when cygwin was released.

That sort of presupposes that someone is interested in walking people through
the debugging of the cygwin DLL.  I know I'm not interested and I haven't
seen anyone else step in when people start asking debugging questions.

I guess the words in problems.html could be extended with a "You're basically
on your own"...

This is not a bad idea, especially since I thought of it myself long ago :-),
like I said, it just requires some time which I don't have right now.

FWIW, I think Hannu has a point in that if debugging information were
available, it would be much easier for people to step in and outline the
necessary actions to provide a good stack trace than it would be to show
them how to build a debug version of the DLL from scratch.  Just my 2c.

RE: cron: can't switch user context

[Harig, Mark]

I cannot see the source of your problem from
the cygcheck listing.  However, you are 
running a Windows .NET server.  I do not know
what effect that might have on cron.

Please run the attached cron_diagnose.sh
script.  It is the latest version.  I would
like for you to eliminate the possibility
that you ran an earlier version.

The new version of binutils allows you to strip debug information and
put it in a separate file.  Then you can provide that file to gdb and
use it for debugging.

"This is not a bad idea...it just requires some time which I don't have
right now."

I haven't, so far, seen anyone chime in usefully on this issue when
people have provided stack traces.  There are other issues which would
crop up even if debugging info were available like the fact that traces
are unreliable where they include functions without stack frame info.

Also, the problems.html page is surely the wrong place for a tutorial
for how to debug the cygwin DLL.  A hyperlink to a page which talked
about this, with a caveat about this being only for the technically
savvy, would be fine.  But I'm not going to write it.  Volunteers?

No, the bit that says:
The latest net releases of the Cygwin DLL are numbered 1.1.x or 1.3.x.

RE: cron: can't switch user context

[Larry Hall]

Actually, I'd suggest googling, especially when you're asking if 
the issue you're having is a known problem or if there are any 
work-arounds.  In this case, you'd find all sort of references to
Windows 2003 and services that need to be able to switch user contexts.



This one talks about ssh but it's the same issue.  Follow the instructions
there for creating a privileged user that you can run cron as and you 
should have your solution.  It's easy to look for this sort of stuff.
Try it.

I'd suggest you run Mark's script as well though and provide feedback.
It would be good to know if it thinks there's anything else that might
be wrong too.

The mount page was intended to show you that you could have simply
re-mounted the directories instead of modifying the registry by hand.

 Well, there needn't be a _tutorial_ on debugging. Maybe just a link to a
good starting point for understanding gdb/ddd/insight and their usage - for
beginners [1].
 Non-beginners often need just a few words... these words should be added
though - time permitting, as always.

Yes, and it does for me.  FWIW, this is how I enable Python's readline
module.

What is your PYTHONSTARTUP set to?  If it contains "~" or "$HOME", is
HOME and/or your /etc/passwd entry set correctly?

Uhh... I wonder, might it be the same thing I wrote about here:

This seems to have problems with the TWO last directories...

I think you are missing my point.  I do not want a problems page to be
littered with a "and here's how you debug cygwin" or here's where to
find debuggers.  That would be daunting to people who are already
daunted by the amount of info on that page.  A hyperlink with something
like:

- Consider debugging cygwin yourself or
  possibly providing a back trace
  of a failing application.

I have a fundamental problem with adding tutorials on debugging here.
Go to the gdb page if you want to learn how to debug something.  A
(very) few pointers on how to debug with a DLL are fine, since they
would be cygwin-specific.  But info on setting breakpoints, etc., really
should come from the experts.

I'm also *extremely* dubious that we'd get useful information from someone
who has never heard of a debugger or even someone who hasn't heard about
gdb.

Anyway, as usual, we're discussing something that will probably never
happen.  I'm finished now since I've already used up too much time
reiterating points.  My next act will be to review any documentation
provided.

 To be correct, "94" should be "7915" or some such (taking differences

 This seems be about what I had in mind, a bit depending on what
"debugcygwin.html" would contain.

 As I said above; _no_ tutorials, but pointers to good _starting points_ for
"beginners" - i.e. one or more ways to find out more on the matter.

> I'm also *extremely* dubious that we'd get useful information from someone

 This depends on what you evaluate the word "beginner" to...
 1) a beginner with debugging all together; then you're fully correct above
 2) a beginner with cygwin; the above might not be so "correct" anymore
 3) (more?)

 I put myself would fit in category 2) of two reasons; I have not used gdb
or its siblings for major stuff, nor tried to debug cygwin stuff. But I DO
have debugging experience.

Problems with accented characters in Cygwin

[Lukasz Kosewski]

Hello all,

This subject seems misleadingly to have been flogged
to death, when in fact, I have found nothing which can
help me.

I am trying to get accented characters, or special
characters in general really, to display in my initial
Cygwin bash shell window.  I'm not even going to
attempt things in X for now.  Just simply attempting
to get them to work in Bash is too much of a pain.

I have added the lines:
set mega-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
to my ~/.inputrc

The characters DISPLAY fine, when I am doing ls on a
folder with accents and umlauts, everything displays
fine.  With tab completion, I can complete the
accented names.  But I cannot TYPE them.  No matter
what key combinations I try, I cannot find any way to
TYPE the special characters at the prompt.  I cannot
paste characters from notepad/mozilla into the window
either, nothing happens when I try.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I am using Windows
2000 with Cygwin overtop of it.

Luke Kosewski

That works for console windows but not for rxvt, strangely -- it's a start

Now, set TERM=rxvt-cygwin-native  (for "windows-mode" rxvt) or 
TERM=rxvt-cygwin   (for "X11" rxvt).

The only difference in these two term settings from "normal" rxvt is 
precisely that: the ACS chars.

"Cannot open display" or "cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup"

[Salma Can]

Hi:

after reading Cygwin-User-guide and FAQ, I still 
have a problem runing a C-program under Windows. 
*The program:
 should output first some information on the to
display image sequence and then display images.
* Windows OS: XP version 2002 on a Toshiba 
  Tecra S1 laptop
* Cygwin: v 1.3.22.1
* Env-variables 
  LOGONSERVER=\\TOSHI HOSTNAME=TOSHI 
  COMPUTERNAME=TOSHI
* Problem and and what I have done:
1. I copied the source code (including the makefile
(see below)) to my /home directory under c:\cygwin
2. I modified the original makefile by adding
-mwindows
3. I compiled the program and got the executable and 
   the warning 
   "cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup ..."
Here is a summary of the output:
$ make -f Makefile.cygwin
gcc -mwindows  -O6 -Wall -pedantic   -c -o seq.o seq.c
...
gcc -mwindows  -O6 -Wall -pedantic  -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-L/lib  -o seq.exe seq.o get_color.o guess.o
help_seq.o util_seq.o -lX11 -lm
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
warning: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup;
defaulting to 00401000
4. when I run the prgram (./seq.exe img_seq) it does
not output anything. It just stops after a while.

 I tried gdb and I got 
"Program exited with code 01".
When I setting a break point at MainCRTStartup 
(break *0x401000) I get no output and "Program exited
with code 01"

 Then I tried it without -mwindows, i.e., 
2.1 I did not modify my original makefile 
(i.e., no -mwindows added)
3.1 I compiled the progtam and got the executable
without the above warning about CRT.
4.1 when I run the program it gives some correct
normal text output and then stops and gives 
"cannot connect to X server TOSHI:0"

 Then I tried the option
2.2 I modified my make file by adding -mwindows -e
_mainCRTStartup
3.2 I compiled without the CRT warning ad got the
executable.
4.2 when I run the program, same as 4. above.
(Note: I tried it with -e _mainCRTStartup only and the
results is as 4.1 above)

--- Do you have any hint why I am not able to display
the output window (or in the other case why the
program does not output anything). I appreciate any
hint.

Regards.
Salma

My Makefile:
SRCS =  seq.c

But "top" and "ps" are the UNIX (CYGWIN) command line utilities.
We can't use them in C-program unless with system().
 I mean platform-specific system call (as the popen() system call) which can be 
directly used in C-program.

Diff information

[Editor of PoliSource]

I was looking for instructions on how to use the diff tools that come with 
cygwin, but all I could find is a short description of diffutils during 
setup, and a "ldesc" in the file setup.ini, but setup.ini opened in Notepad, 
which doesn't seem like the correct program for easy reading of that file. 
Could someone tell me how to properly view the data, including the long 
descriptions, in setup.ini, or point me to a tutorial on using the diff 
tools in cygwin?

Thanks,

Thanks. I think I used that a long time ago, but I rarely use the command

also stumbled across information on the help command (diff --help), which 
does work at my command line.

Re: Problems with accented characters in Cygwin

[Frédéric L. W. Meunier]

I suggest you use rxvt since the Cygwin "terminal" appers to be
broken for that. I don't know if it ever worked, but it never
did since I started with 1.3.10. I now use 1.5.3. I reported
it. See

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00048.html

and follow

, mainly Igor's replies:
