cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd and SOCKET.

I'm using cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd to attach a windows SOCKET to a cygwin file descriptor. I do it this way: fd = cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd("/dev/tcp", -1, WindowsSocketHandle, TRUE, GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE); This call works well under Cygwin 1.3.13, and calls to recv(fd,...) or send(fd,...)

cygipc shmat bug

e; do ipctest.exe h a ; done" You'll see that some of the attachments fail with "shmat : Invalid argument" Well, I'm not sure this is really a new bug, since I saw that shmat uses mmap and mmap is buggy, right ? Best Regards, Christophe LEITIENNE -- Unsubscribe
