emacs problem

emacs problem

[J. David Boyd]

I'm starting to see this error quite a bit in the terminal window I started
emacs from:

0 [main] emacs-X11 19400 C:\tools\cygwin\bin\emacs-X11.exe: *** fatal error in
forked process - failed to create new win32 semaphore, Win32 error 87


It seems to take an indeterminate amount of time before it starts happening,
and it _might_ be related to running Gnus, but once it starts, it seems that
almost everything I do in emacs outputs another line like above to the
terminal window.

Any idea how to debug this?

I'm using emacs version "GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, GTK+ Version 3.6.4)
 of 2013-03-11 on fiona"


TIA,

Dave

Have you tried rebaseall 
(http://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures)?  This isn't 
the typical error message you see from rebase problems, but it can't 
hurt to try.  If that doesn't help, maybe you could test the build I 
mentioned at

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00062.html

Yes, the first thing I tried was rebaseall, but that also gives (in my
history) the message about not being able to fork a new process.

I'll get your rebuilt verison, and see what happens.  It's worth a shot.

Thanks,

Dave

Are you saying you get a fork error when you run rebaseall?  If so, I 
think you need to fix that before you can hope to avoid fork errors in 
emacs.  Have you looked for BLODA?  Other than that, I don't know what 
to suggest (except that you should send cygcheck output when you write 
again).

Wow, sorry, I said that entirely wrong.  I meant that in my recollection, when
I need to rebase, I get messages about "can't create fork".  But that's not
what I said at all.

So this is an entirely different error, but I still rebased, first thing, just
as a SWAG.

I got the emacs from your site, thanks, and I'll keep an eye on it and see how
it goes.

I'll keep you posted.

That doesn't look like the standard fork problem, Ken.  The error comes
from semaphore::_fixup_after_fork:

  void
  semaphore::_fixup_after_fork ()
  {
    if (shared == PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE)
      {
	pthread_printf ("sem %p", this);
	/* FIXME: duplicate code here and in the constructor. */
	win32_obj_id = ::CreateSemaphore (&sec_none_nih, currentvalue,
						INT32_MAX, NULL);
	if (!win32_obj_id)
	  api_fatal ("failed to create new win32 semaphore, %E");
      }
  }

Error code 87 is ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.  The only two things that I
can see which would cause that problem are "sec_non_nih" and
currentvalue.

I'll change the error to report on currentvalue.  I assume that
currentvalue must be zero for some reason here and that is what is
causing the problem but it would be nice to know for sure.

The current snapshot has this change and a shot-in-the-dark attempt to
fix the reported problem as well.

Thanks.  It's also possible that this isn't a Cygwin problem.  There are 
known race conditions between emacs-24.3 and glib, which have been fixed 
in the newer version of emacs that I asked Dave to test.

Dave, instead of trying the new emacs right away, would you be willing 
to install the cygwin snapshot and see if that fixes the problem?  If 
not, could you report the error message and then try the new emacs?

Thanks.

Given the point at which the problem occurs, I don't see how it could be
anything but a Cygwin problem.  It's in the fork code before anything
user-based should be kicked off.

THanks, sure, no problem.  Where do I get the latest snapshot from?  Setup and
all updates, or the EXP setting?

Dave,

This should be fixed now in the latest snapshot (2013-07-23).  See

Great, thanks.  I'll get it right away and try it out for a day or so, then
report back here.

I'm running it now, so far so good.  I'll try everything I can think of, which
is mostly just using org mode to track my work, and gnus for checking
newsgroups.  Usually takes no more than 1 hour or so for it to break.

Thanks,

Dave

Re: Emacs Problem

[David Starks-Browning]

Scott,

You don't say anything about:

 - whether you mean emacs to an X display or "emacs -nw" aka "emacs-nox"
 - assuming the latter, whether in the standard Cygwin command window,
   or rxvt.

I don't think you'll have this problem in rxvt (I don't).  If a
standard command window, does Randall's advice fix the problem?  If so
I'll add something to the FAQ.

Thanks,
David

As one of my friends would say:
- It doesn't make my coffee in the morning? :-o Oh, no!  What have I been
  drinking all these years?
And, as my other friend would say:
- I wish I could just boot emacs as an operating system...

Re: Emacs Problem

[Randall R Schulz]

Frank, Scott,

This is more likely a Cygwin options problem than it is non-standard key 
bindings in Emacs.

This is reaching the proportions of a FAQ: You need to include "tty" in 
your CYGWIN environment variable, lest the Cygwin tty driver commandeer the 
CTRL-C and send a SIGINT when it's typed.

It's "control+c control+x" in Emacs language "C-x C-c". If this doesn't
work try "Meta+x save-buffers-kill-emacs RETURN" (Meta is usually the
Alt key under Cygwin, in Emacs terminology "M-x save-buffers-kill-emacs
RET").

If the C-x C-c doesn't work, this keys are probably bound in some way by
your terminal, over here using rxvt as terminal and tcsh as shell it
works as expected.

Yeah, so?  What's the problem?  Emacs is the end-all of software, right?  It's
supposed to do everything except make your coffee in the morning, no?  So
*why* would you *ever* want to quit from it? ;-) ;-) ;-)

You're best off re-posting this after reading www.cygwin.com/bugs.html.  The
obvious question that comes to mind for me is - are you running the Cygwin
or Win32 version of Emacs?  I can't tell (and neither can anyone else) from
the information you've sent so far.  That's why we have a recommended 
procedure for posting problem reports.  Take a look at 'em.

Emacs Problem

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,
I got ambitious during lunch and installed emacs. At the cmd line I type in emacs and all works great.

I got one problem though, it will not quit.

I run a standalone emacs on my box and when I quit I hit the keys [ ctrl x c ] and it quits the app.
But in the one that runs in cygwin, it does not.

How do I get cygwin to quit emacs and return to a cmd prompt?

Thanks,
Scott

Sounds like a version problem.  Which version of cygtiff3.dll do
you have installed?  Look in the /etc/setup/installed.db file
for the tiff package.

It was built against tiff-3.5.7-1.

emacs problem..

[Vincent Yau]

Hi I just installed the latest Cygwin today
and I am running it on a Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 box.
I wanted to fire up emacs but it spits out this error message:

   emacs.exe -- Entry point not found
   The procedure entry point TIFFClientOpen could not be
   located in the dynamic link library cygtiff3.dll.

Wonder if I am doing anything wrong?  I have tried reinstalling
and still does not work.  Any tip/pointer much appreciated.

thanks

--Vincent
