VirtualAlloc failed from DOS Prompt

VirtualAlloc failed from DOS Prompt

[Remi Lejeune]

Hello :-)

I am facing a weird problem, and maybe somebody we'll be able to help :

I have a program, blablabla.cpp, which compiles (gnu g++)  and runs successfully
 on various platforms, including windows NT/ cygnus provided bash shell.
Though, when I try to run the VERY SAME executable calling it from a DOS prompt
(whith cygwin1.dll in the same directory),
I get the following error messages :

[main] C:\Remi\backbone\scripts\PPlmTools\bin\debug\blablabla.exe 1535 (0)
commit_and_inc: VirtualAlloc failed
bla bouh
[main] prunebigrams 1535 (0) handle_exceptions: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
[main] prunebigrams 1535 (0) handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to
blablabla.exe.core

What I dont understand is how come this program runs on the bash shell and
crashes when called from the DOS prompt, with the same parameters of course.

Any idea ?

Yes.  Run your program using gdb.  Alternatively, as Earnie mentioned in another
thread, inspect the output of cygcheck -r -s -v for obvious problems.

You've not supplied enough information to give you an answer.  Supply the
smallest amount of source code to provide an example of the problem.  Supply
the output of `cygcheck -s -r -v' pasted in a mail.

This is ill-advice.  Under no circumstances should you copy the Cygwin1.dll to
the windows directories.  As a matter of fact you shouldn't copy the
cygwin1.dll from it's original directory.  Although, you won't have problems
initially, when you upgrade the Cygwin product you'll end up with multiple
version of the Cygwin1.dll which will lead to problems.

Try placing Cygwin1.dll in the windows directory.
