[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cppunit-0.12.0-1

[Ross Smith II]

I've updated the version of cppunit to 0.12.0-1.

This is a bugfix release.  The Cygwin release is the vanilla version,
no additional patches.

===

  New in CppUnit 1.12.0:
  --

* Portability:

  - autogen.sh can now be run on Mac OS X (patch #1449380
contributed by Sander Temme).

* MFC Test runner:

  - fixed bug #1498175: double click on failure would sometime
not goto failed assertion in visual studio.

* Documentation:

  - now generated with doxygen 1.4.7 new 'tabs' style.


  New in CppUnit 1.11.4:
  --


* Portability:

  - Support for Embedded Visual C++ 4 added. For this purpose, CppUnit now
provides a very simple stream implementation if none is provided.
This should also help porting on other platforms which have STL but
no stream support. Just make sure that CPPUNIT_NO_STREAM is defined
to 1 in your config header.

* Assertion:

  - Added missing _MESSAGE variants for the following assertions:

CPPUNIT_ASSERT_DOUBLES_EQUAL_MESSAGE
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW_MESSAGE
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_NO_THROW_MESSAGE
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_ASSERTION_FAIL_MESSAGE
CPPUNIT_ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS_MESSAGE

Notes: change made to CPPUNIT_ASSERT_THROW may cause compilation error
if you're expecting std::exception as it would be caught twice. Contact us
if it is an issue (we don't see much use for such a test).

Some assertions failure message are now more detailed (exception,
expression).
Thanks to Neil Ferguson who contributed this patch.

  - Assertion on real number now output expected and actual value using the
maximum available precision instead of the previous strategy of rounding
to 6 digits.

Thanks to Neil Ferguson who contributed this patch.

* Outputter:

  - XML Ouputter: patch #997006 contributed by Akos Maroy makes the
'stand-alone' attribute of the XML header optional.
See XmlOutputter::setStandalone() & XmlDocument::setStandalone().

  - Better integration of compiler output for gcc on Mac OS X with Xcode
(contributed by Claus Broch).

* MFC Test Runner

  - Integration with VC++ 7.0 & 7.1. Double clicking on a failure will now
to the failure location in the open IDE (no add-in necessary).
This was contributed by Max Quatember and Andreas Pfaffenbichler.

  - Progress bar: now use system color to draw border
(patch from bug #1165875 contributed by Pieter Van Dyck).

* QT Test Runner

  - Fixed display of multi-line messages (patch contributed by Karol 
Szkudlarek).

* Compilation:

  - The standard pkg-config file is now generated on unix (contributed by
Robert Leight).

  - MinGW: patch #1024428 contributed by astar, fixed compilation issue in
Win32DynamicLibraryManager.cpp.

  - MinGW, cygwin: enable build of shared library when using libtool.
patch #1194394 contributed by Stéphane Fillod.

  - autotool: applied patch #1076398 contributed by Henner Sudek. Quote:
 "This patch allows AM_PATH_CPPUNIT to accept version
numbers without minor and micro version.
Now you can do:
AM_PATH_CPPUNIT(1.9)
instead of
AM_PATH_CPPUNIT(1.9.0)"

  - Visual Studio 2005: removed deprecated warning.

* Documentation:

  - Corrected many typos in cookbook and money example. Thanks to all
those who helped !

* Bug Fix:

  - cppunit.m4: patch #946302, AM_PATH_CPPUNIT doesn't report result
if CppUnit is missing.

  - Message/SourceLine: copy constructor have been specifically implemented
to ensure they are thread-safe even if std::string copy constructor
is not (usually on reference count based implementation).

  - TestResultCollector: fixed memory leak occuring when calling reset().

* Contrib:

  - added XSLT for compatibility with Ant junit xml formatter.
Patch #1112053 contributed by Norbert Barbosa.
See xml-xsl/cppunit2junit.xsl and cppunit2junit.txt for details.

  - xml-xsl/report.xsl has been fixed to work with current xml output.

* (Possible) Compatiblity break:

  - All text output is now done on cout() instead of sometime cerr &
sometime cout depending on the component.

  - OStringStream definition has been removed from Portability.h. This
means that  is no longer included, and that ostringstream and
string might not be defined. In practice this should have no impact
since those includes have been moved to other CppUnit headers.

* Notes:

  - CppUnit now uses the alias OStream when refering to std::ostream for
portability.


  New in CppUnit 1.10.2:
  --

* Bug Fix:

  - Memory checker: bug #938753, array bound read in
splitPathString() with substr if an empty string is passed.

  - Memory leaks: bug #952912, many memory leaks removed in the
MFC test plug-in runner.

  - Crash when using CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION with cpp

cygwin stable and cvs snapshot - fork() bug

[michael.vogt]

I tried to compile mpd for Windows using Cygwin. After adding some
workarounds (add fake_getaddrinfo.h, check
http://musicpd.org/mantis/view.php?id=1566) I was able to compile mpd.
But when I tried to start it, mpd failed:


$ ./mpd.exe --stdout --verbose
binding to any address

done flushing warning messages
current locale is "C"

cygserver is running and i did a "$ export CYGWIN=server "

I traced down the error in the file player.c, source:

pid = player_pid;
if (pid > 0) {
kill(pid, SIGCONT);

}

player_pid = fork();<<< CRASH
LOG(" debug playerInit: 30  (pid: %i/%i)\n", pid, player_pid);
blockSignals();
LOG(" debug playerInit: 31 \n");
if (player_pid==0)


any hints?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gawk-3.1.6-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've updated the version of gawk to 3.1.6-1.

This is the new upstream release 3.1.6.  The Cygwin version is build from
the vanilla sources.

Changes from 3.1.5 to 3.1.6
---

1. `gawk 'program' /non/existant/file' no longer core dumps.

2. Too many people the world over have complained about gawk's use of the
   locale's decimal point for parsing input data instead of the traditional
   period.  So, even though gawk was being nicely standards-compliant, in
   a Triumph For The Users, gawk now only uses the locale's decimal point
   if --posix is supplied or if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.  It is the sincere
   hope that this change will eliminate this FAQ from being asked.

3. `gawk -v BINMODE=1 ...' works again.

4. Internal file names like `/dev/user' now work again. (Note that these
   file names are obsolete and will go away eventually.)

5. Problems with wide strings in non "C" locales have been straightened
   out everywhere.  (At least, we think so.)

6. Use of `ansi2knr' is no longer supported. Please use an ANSI C compiler.

7. Updated to Autoconf 2.61, Automake 1.10, and Gettext 0.16.1.

8. The getopt* and regex* files were synchronized with current GLIBC CVS.
   See the ChangeLog for the versions and minor edits made.

9. There are additional --lint-old warnings.

10. Gawk now uses getaddrinfo(3) to look up names and IP addresses. This
allows the use of an IPv6 format address and paves the way for
eventual addition of `/inet6/...' and `/inet4/...' hostnames.

11. We believe gawk to now be valgrind clean. At least when run against
the test suite.

12. A number of issues dealing with the formatting and printing of very
large numbers in integer formats have been dealt with and fixed.

13. Gawk now converts "+inf", "-inf", "+nan" and "-nan" into the corresponding
magic IEEE floating point values. Only those strings (case independent)
work.  With --posix, gawk calls the system strtod directly. You asked
for it, you got it, you deal with it.

14. Defining YYDEBUG enables the -D command line option.

15. Gawk should now work out of the box on Tandem NSK/OSS systems.

16. Lint messages rationalized: many more of the messages are now printed
only once, instead of every time they are encountered.

17. The strftime() function now accepts an optional third argument, which
if non-zero or non-null, indicates that the time should be formatted
as UTC instead of as local time.

18. The precedence of concatenation and `| getline' (in something like
"echo " "date" | getline stuff) has been reverted to the earlier
behavior and now once again matches Unix awk.

19. New configure time flag --disable-directories-fatal which causes
gawk to silently skip directories on the command line.  This behavior
is also enabled for --traditional, since it's what Unix awk does.

20. A new option, --use-lc-numeric, forces use of the locale's decimal
point without the rest of the draconian restrictions imposed by
--posix. This softens somewhat the stance taken in item #2.

21. Everything relevant has been updated to the GPL 3.

22. Array growth should be faster now, at no cost in space.

23. Lots more tests.

24. One new translation.

25. Various bugs fixed, see the ChangeLog for details.

Hi all,

RE: Cygwin setup on XP/Vista (UNIX/DOS compatibilty question)

[Steve Richmond]

Is there a standard (read easy) way to bring over files and run D2U on each 
file?

I just found a tool called RSYNC.  Do you have experience with that?
Why isn't RCP and FTP included in Cygwin?

A cool new network tool would be a RCP that runs D2U as a option.
Does such a tool exist?

Thanks for your help!

I'm guessing what you really mean is "automated".  Not anything in Cygwin
as far as I know.

Why isn't RCP and FTP included in Cygwin?






Don't use 'rcp'.  It woefully insecure.  Use 'ssh' and friends ('scp',
'sftp', etc).



A cool new network tool would be a RCP that runs D2U as a option.
Does such a tool exist?



Don't know.  But it's simple in principle to write a script that you invoke
to do what you want.

problems installing cygwin on vista

[Ruprecht Machleidt]

In the past, I have installed cygwin on several Windows XP
systems with no problems.

However, I am encountering severe problems installing
cygwin on vista.
The installation process stalls quietly during the postinstall
phase. The only way to end the process is to 'cancel'.
No home diretory is created, no icons.

In principal, the
/var/log/setup.log.full
file should reveal what's going wrong.
I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to interpret
this file. So, I'm attaching it.

Repeatedly, statements of this nature occur in the log file:

2007/10/25 09:38:53 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/email.sh
/usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address
sed: can't read /etc/passwd: No such file or directory
2007/10/25 09:38:56 abnormal exit: exit code=2
2007/10/25 09:38:56 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c 
/etc/postinstall/enscript.sh
/usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address
2007/10/25 09:38:56 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/exim.sh
/usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address
sed: can't read /etc/passwd: No such file or directory
2007/10/25 09:38:57 abnormal exit: exit code=2

To a knowledgeable person this may provide an indication
of what's wrong.

I greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you,

Rup

problems installing cygwin on vista

[Ruprecht Machleidt]

In the past, I have installed cygwin on several Windows XP
systems with no problems.

However, I am encountering severe problems installing
cygwin on vista.
The installation process stalls quietly during the postinstall
phase. The only way to end the process is to 'cancel'.
No home diretory is created, no icons.

In principal, the
/var/log/setup.log.full
file should reveal what's going wrong.
I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to interpret
this file. So, I'm attaching it.

Repeatedly, statements of this nature occur in the log file:

2007/10/25 09:38:53 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c 
/etc/postinstall/email.sh

/usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address
sed: can't read /etc/passwd: No such file or directory
2007/10/25 09:38:56 abnormal exit: exit code=2
2007/10/25 09:38:56 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c 
/etc/postinstall/enscript.sh

/usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address
2007/10/25 09:38:56 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c 
/etc/postinstall/exim.sh

/usr/bin/bash: /cygdrive/c/Users/francesca/.bashrc: Bad address
sed: can't read /etc/passwd: No such file or directory
2007/10/25 09:38:57 abnormal exit: exit code=2

To a knowledgeable person this may provide an indication
of what's wrong.

I greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you,

Rup
