[ANN] perl5.5.660

[ANN] perl5.5.660

[Charles S. Wilson]

perl5.5.660 is now available at
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/perl-5.5.660/ You will also find a few
precompiled modules at that location.

This might be the last beta before perl5.6 is released, so please bang
on it if you've the inclination. I've found one problem already that I
couldn't figure out: attempting to execute any routine from the libnet
module causes perl to dump core immediately. If anybody's got any ideas
about how to fix that, please let me know.

perl5.5.660 was built using the following external libraries from the
cygutils archive:
  libcrypt
  cygipc-1.05
  db-2.7.7
  gdbm-1.8.0-1
and with the following environment settings. ntsec was not enabled.
  CYGWIN=binmode tty ntea
  built and installed by a non-administrator user
  
Anyway, here are the perl harness results:

Wow, I'm glad that it's only twice as much than with ntsec OFF.

I'm not familar with perl but I will try to reproduce the test
results for getting more information why these additional tests
are failing.

Even with my recent fixes to gdbm and cygipc, I still think that many 
of these errors are in the external libraries and not in perl itself.
For instance, the complete failure of all ipc-sysv regression tests,
and the failures in the lib/odbm and lib/ndbm tests.

OTOH, there's plenty of ntsec-triggered failures in parts of perl
that do not rely on external libraries -- the base/rs tests, 
lib/dirhand.t, lib/filecache.t, lib/filepath.t, etc. 

OTO-O-H, there's a few tests that failed *without* ntsec, and worked
okay *with* ntsec -- lib/glob-basic.

I'm going to try a let my hair grow back before looking at this 
again, though. I pulled out way too much of it...

Hi Charles,

I can't reproduce your results exactly. In my environment

  CYGWIN_NT-5.0 CORINNA 1.1.0(0.16/3/2) 2000-02-24 09:43:09 i686 unknown
  CYGWIN=binmode nontea ntsec tty

I got the following _differing_ results as non-admin user:

Failed Test  Status Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of failed
---------------------------------------------------------------------
base/rs.t                             OK

op/magic.t       13  3328    35   17  48.57%  19-35
4 tests and 44 subtests skipped.
Failed 14/234 test scripts, 94.02% okay. 130/11679 subtests failed,
98.89% okay.

I found that op/stat.t must fail, because normal users doesn't
have the permission to chown. This doesn't fail as admin user.
So this one can be ignored.

I think we could get a better result but as I mentioned before
I'm not familar with perl. Nevertheless, as far as ntsec is
concerned I would like to help. Please contact me when you have
found more information.

FWIW, the problems described below were fixed with the Feb 28 snapshot.
That includes the 100% usage problem and the weird configure failures
when building.

Geez. let's try this again. I wanted to send replies to two different
messages on this list. Naturally, I attached message B to the reply meant
for message A.  Here's the REAL reply that should go in the perl5.5.660
thread.

I installed the 20000227 cygwin-inst and the 20000228 cygwin1.dll, and
re-ran the perl harness test. The new results are much improved:

Same binary as before, tested under 'CYGWIN=binmode tty ntea'

Corinna, shouldn't ntea and ntsec be mutually exclusive?  Should we
change the DLL so that only one or the other can be active?

Maybe that isn't a good idea.
Some people are using FAT and NTFS and if you have to use ntsec
without ntea you don't have a chance to simulate permissions
on the FAT partitions.

Personally I would only change the set/get_file_attributes()
so that ntea is deactivated on NTFS partitions if ntsec is set.

Still 100% usage and weird problems with recent snapshots?

I still have one person reporting problems with cygwin but I am having
no luck duplicating them and the strace output that he's provided does
not make any sense.

Has the recent snapshot solved the problem for everyone else or are
there still problems?

I would like to get this resolved since one of these snapshots is going
to become the official Cygwin 1.1.1 beta that will show up in the
pending net release which we hope to have available in the next couple
of weeks.

Here my setup and testcases:

System:   WinNT 4.0/SP3
          Cygwin B20.1 with egcs-2.91.66
           - cygwin1.dll - cygwin1-20000228.dll
           - everything mounted binary,
           - CYGWIN = tty title binmode ntea nontsec

Software:  Xemacs-21.1.2   - http://www.xemacs.org/
           inetutils-1.3.2 - ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu   (with patch from Sergey)
           ssh-1.2.26      - ftp://ftp.cs.hut.fi/pub/ssh (with patch from Sergey)
           sendmail-8.9.3  - http://www.sendmail.org/
           apache-1.3.6    - http://www.apache.org/

o No CPU problems. I'm running inetd, sshd, apache and sendmail as NT services via
  invoker-1.4 - http://innovation.idetix.com/invoker/ and Xemacs on top and my CPU time
  is about 14% and almost consumed by taskmgr.exe

o Two things I noticed (Chris you alreday fixed this in a snapshot before)

1)
  When I call ftp and type in any commands the commands don't echo on the screen only after
  typing <RETURN>.
  The same thing happens if I try sending me an email via sendmail like this:

  vzell:/tmp> sendmail vzell
  This is a test string                       <---- I only see what I have typed after pressing RETURN here
                                              <---- This is CTRL-d
  vzell:/tmp> 

2)
  When invoking a bash shell inside from Xemacs and then trying to telnet to my own machine
  from this session I get the following behaviour.

  vzell:~> 
  vzell:~> telnet vzell
  Trying 140.84.39.166...
  Connected to vzell.de.oracle.com.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  
  CYGWIN_NT-4.0 1.1.0(0.17/3/2) (vzell) (tty6)
  
  login: vzell
  vzell                                                 <----- echoed
  Password:
  vzell:~> pwd
  pwd                                                   <----- echoed
  /users/vzell
  vzell:~>
 
  vzell:~>


So in this case everything I type in is echoed to thze sreen twice, as soone as I type it in
and AFTER pressing RETURN.

Unitl now I used the cygwin-inst-19990929 snapshot which was perfectly stable for me.
Also it doesn't show the above anomalies.


Ciao

As I reported earlier, the bash I was using up until recently will
not run with any snapshots after the 99-12-04. The only thing I am
aware of about this bash-2.03 that won't run is that I compiled it
with gcc-2.95 (I have not yet updated gcc from 2.95.)

My work-around in order to use the latest snapshots was to revert
to a bash-2.03 that I compiled with egcs-1.1.1. I'm not suggesting
anything... just reporting observations. I offer this just in case
it may be related to anything else that's going on with the latest
snapshots.

Following is all the info I can come up with since this bash does
not run far enough to get any strace output.

When starting this bash via Insight, the Source Window moves to
the file "shell.c" function "main", at the following line (*):

 	305	  /* Catch early SIGINTs. */
*	306	  code = setjmp (top_level);
-	307	  if (code)
-	308	    exit (2);

-	0x401228	<main+32>:	    push   0
-	0x40122a	<main+34>:	    push   0
-	0x40122c	<main+36>:	    call   0x462450 <sigprocmask>
-	0x401231	<main+41>:	    add    %esp,-12

-	0x401239	<main+49>:	    call   0x462448 <setjmp>
-	0x40123e	<main+54>:	    add    %esp,32
-	0x401241	<main+57>:	    test   %eax,%eax

When I start the program running I immediately get a
segfault and the line number does not change in the Source
Window. Then, the source code disappears and Insight shows
the current function as "size_of_stack_frame" and prints
this lone message in the Insight Source Window:

"Unable to Read Instructions at 0x61041a16"

The Insight Memory Window displays the following:	

                  0            4            8           C

0x74107339       N/A          N/A          N/A         N/A

View Thread List (Processes) lists the following:

1 thread -177397.0xfffdcfc3  0x61041a16 in _size_of_stack_reserve__ ()

At another invocation, Windows reports the following:

BASH caused an invalid page fault in
module CYGWIN1.DLL at 0157:61041a16.

I hope this helps 'cause that's all I know.

You reported that you were having problems but I don't recall anything
that indicated you still had problems with the newest snapshot.

It is not conceivable that gdb would report that you are stopped at
the code that you show below and that no strace output shows up.

How are you running the strace program?  You should do something
like this:

	strace -osomefile bash

I figure that I'll need to upgrade gcc, rebuild bash, and then see if
there is any problem... and I doubt if there will be or others would
be seeing it also. I don't have plans at the moment to upgrade gcc.

I haven't filed any other reports because this is not really a problem
that I need solved. I'm reporting now just in case it can help you
trace something that may be affecting others in different ways.

It is for me. ;-)

> How are you running the strace program?

I move to the directory where I'm keeping the bash that doesn't
work, a directory that is not in my path, and I

  strace ./bash

and nothing happens. "^C" gets me out.

>  You should do something like this:
>

  strace -otestout ./bash

hangs... nothing happens. The file "testout" is created.

I CTRL-C and end the process. Checking "testout" with pfe shows
an empty file. Checking it with Hex Edit shows only

  "00000000 "

(without the quotes)
(This is using the strace and DLL from DJ's latest preview.

Ok, then this definitely is a problem with the way bash is linked
then.  The program is obviously not starting in the correct place
and cygwin's initialization code is not being processed.

This is either a linker or a gcc issue.
