Fwd: octave updated to 3.4.0-3. Please test

[marco atzeri]

same message for the cygwin mailing list, hoping that now I catch all the users.
Not the standard announcement message, but the situation was a bit unusual.

Subject: octave updated to 3.4.0-3. Please test
To: Octave users list


dear octave user on cygwin,

after some tricking, hacking and polishing the new octave 3.4.0-3 has
been released for cygwin.
Also lapack and qrupdate have been updated to solve the
libgfortran3-4.3.4-4 issue.

This configuration should work :

$ cygcheck -c octave liblapack0 cygwin libqrupdate0 libgfortran3
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.9-1        OK
libgfortran3         4.3.4-4        OK
liblapack0           3.2.2-2        OK
libqrupdate0         1.1.1-1        OK
octave               3.4.0-3        OK

and also this one (as I built all the package on cygwin-1.7.8-1 and
libgfortran3-4.3.4-4 )

$ cygcheck -c octave liblapack0 cygwin libqrupdate0 libgfortran3
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.8-1        OK
libgfortran3         4.3.4-4        OK
liblapack0           3.2.2-2        OK
libqrupdate0         1.1.1-1        OK
octave               3.4.0-3        OK

the configuration before libgfortran3 update, that worked was

$ cygcheck -c octave liblapack0 cygwin libqrupdate0 libgfortran3
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.8-1        OK
libgfortran3         4.3.4-3        OK
liblapack0           3.2.2-1        OK
libqrupdate0         1.1.0-1        OK
octave               3.4.0-2        OK

please test, including plotting and in case of failures let me know on
this mailing list or (better) in the cygwin mailing list.


Regards
Marco

LS,

with the current octave, I get this octave strcat
error on plot, both with xterm and the dumb terminal.
Same error on two different windows XP systems.
Same error with libstdc++6 and libgfortran3 from cygwin-ports gcc 4.5.2-2

could you just check if reversing to cygwin  1.7.8-1 solve the problem ?

I also noted the same problem this morning, but it was puzzling and
NOT really repetitive.

Your hunch was right, downgrading to 1.7.8-1 solves it

it seems caused by a change between cygwin snapshots 20110308 and 20110309

Corinna, gcf
Have we catch a fhandler / pipe special case ?

Since it's in the dll_init() function, I don't see how it could be pipe related.
Does strace implicate pipe handling?

I need to check for the strace.

I was just guessing around the changelog entry

http://cygwin.com/snapshots/winsup-changelog-20110308-20110309

it reports mainly fhandler and pipe changes.

as plotting in octave on 20110308 is working while on 20110309 not.

what means the -1 ?

I could duplicate the problem on Windows 7 (64-bit) but it went away
once I rebased.

Have people tried that?

Even if that "fixes" the problem, there is still something wrong with
the way DLLs get relocated which is leading to this symptom.  It may be
a Cygwin problem or it may be a binutils problem.  I'm still
investigating.

on CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin

rebaseall caused further problem
---------------------------------------------------------------------

fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x61242860/0x6A2860.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version *should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course is it possible that what I see on WinXP , broken
communication between octave and gnuplot,
is different from what was sawn on Vista32 and W7/64 (Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION)

as octave has a very large number of dll dependency and it execute
also gnuplot, it has a high chance to catch
problems in this area.

Hello

I have confirmed that octave-3.4.0-3 fails to plot on cygwin 1.7.9-1 but not 1.7.8-1.

We don't need confirmation that octave doesn't work.  We need to know if
rebasing works around the problem.

Here on Win 7 64bit I have:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 darkstar 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin

Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.9-1        OK
octave               3.4.0-3        OK
gnuplot              4.4.0-1        OK


I did rebaseall and I still get the error:

octave:1> t = 0:2*pi/100:2*pi;
octave:2> plot(t,sin(t))
error: Invalid call to strcat.  Correct usage is:

 -- Function File:  strcat (S1, S2, ...)

I do have Norton running (not possible to turn off) and I have had
some bloda things but rebaseall seems to clear all that I have
noticed, but I suppose bloda is not ruled out. This is a new laptop
and my current installation may not be as stable as possible yet. Last
week I spent an hour tracking down a stray space being added to my
path that prevented lapack from being seen.

Right now everything, other than octave, seems to be fine and I've
spent most of the day at a bash command line banging g++ et all; the
system seems stable and fully operational.

Could you try the latest snapshot?  Jon Turney has a patch for the DLL
loading which might make a difference.

the last snapshot make no difference on winXP.

As people on Vista and W7/64 were reporting a

I start to feel that they are 2 different problems that just arise from
the same plot operation in octave.

my strace shown

[main] octave-3.4.0 3764 fhandler_fifo::raw_read: returning -1, mode
2, Win32 error 997

I looked in the source of fhandler_fifo.cc but I see no special
handling of ERROR_IO_PENDING
that instead I see on other fhandler source files.
Could be this the problem ?

your is Vista32, also another user with cygwin-1.7.9-1 on Windows 7 64
bit is reporting a similar problem

Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=6102048B

Stack trace:

unfortunately I can only test XP and this problem don't happen.

 eip=6102048B seems inside cygwin dllerror "function"

Corinna,
could you confirm on one of your test systems ?

I will appreciate

Marco

Re: Fwd: octave updated to 3.4.0-3. Please test (strcat error)

[Jeffrey Kletsky]

This is a problem on Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit; cygwin 1.7.9-1; octave 3.4.0-3

Reinstalling Octave does not resolve
rebaseall does not resolve

Any suggestions on how to resolve?

TIA,

Jeff

try downgrading cygwin to 1.7.8-1.
On windows XP , it is the current workaround; but W7-64 is more weird
and some people reported other faults.
