But, then it's been theorized that I am rather incompetent about testing these things, preferring to test in a magical "It always works" type of environment that is loaded with super special software. That's why I need something like the stack dump from normal folks who don't have access to all o

Is it me or is the cygwin1.dll becoming more unstable each passing day? -marcus Hi Chris, I've test the lastest snapshot (14th Dec II) with the ThreadTest, the new problems have been resolved, still the old ones remain. thanx for the quick fix. Regards Arash Partow __

Hi Philippe, I've tested the latest dll snapshot (12/12), and its still displaying the problem. nothing was changed in the signaling or pthreads area that would effect the problem. maybe try using the provided snapshot perhaps? -Marcus Hi all! I've tested the latest CVS version (2003-12-12 1

chris, Let me say it again: I don't see the problem either with my changes or without it. I just didn't see any good reason to go on creating threads after a signal has been received which the original code did. I agree with you totally, it would be reasonable for the garbage collector thing to

chris, i tried the code you provided, it does resolve the issue, however why do we need to change the test? as arash pointed out it seems to work on other platforms well enough. the modified version arash posted back seems to demonstrate the problem, and all it seems he has done get rid of delays

Hi Chris, I've tried the latest snapshot 8/12/2003, that dll doesn't seem to have the win32-hndl problem that was seen in previous versions of the dll, but it is still exibiting the signalling problems. Marcus I fixed a handle leak problem last night. I don't suppose that it occurred to you

Hi Arash, I've downloaded the tests and dlls both from you're site and last few cygwin snapshots and CONFIRMED your results. There is a major bug in both the signaling during threads and also the problem of accumulating handles. Just by looking at the various changes in the snapshots it seems cgf

Hi Arash, I've built the cygwin1.dll with debugging info off, and I have been able to replicate your problem. It seems to be comeing from inside the string allocator in stl but a more deeper anlysis shows the problem to be coming from the i386 memcpy, i don't think the memcpy has been written prop

2003-11-02 Thread Marcus Van Der Beek
Hi I tested your program and found out that the crashes were in compiler generated code (especially in STL code). Upgrading to the latest version of everything (GCC in particular) solved everything for me without using any Cygwin snapshots. I've found that it crashes too, I've tried compili
