[64bit] cygwin-devel headers broken

[64bit] cygwin-devel headers broken

[Thomas Wolff]

There is a crash issue induced on cygwin-64 (not on -32) after
compilation with cygwin-devel 2.0.0 include files. I am recompiling my
editor mined and it crashes, maybe immediately or after typing
non-trivial input (like function keys, waiting for input with select()).
It does not occur after recompiling only certain source files, but it
happens after recompiling only io.c which makes heavy use of terminal
I/O like read(), select(), ioctl().

Reverting the cygwin-devel package to 1.7 (and leaving everything else
up-to-date) solves the issue.
Selective copying of files from the cygwin-devel 2.0 package further
reveals:
/lib: all from 2.0: no problem.
/usr/include/sys: all from 2.0 except the following: no problem.
But if signal.h, stat.h, time.h, types.h, and associated dependencies
are used, the compiled program crashes.
I can try to narrow down the issue further but maybe this is a clue already?

I had a similar issue. But in my case the compilation fails as
select seems gone:

It seems that sys/select.h is no longer implicitly included by some 
other header, I think probably sys/time.h.

Thanks for the hint, adding an include solves the issue.
It had compiled without because I have a plain extern int select() 
declaration. It's obviously not a good declaration because the pointer 
arguments can now be 64 bit. (I think I could not unconditionally 
include select.h for porting compatibility with some legacy systems that 
don't have it.)

Not sure whether it's a bug then as arguably a program using select 
should declare it properly. On the other hand this issue has not 
appeared on any other system and if traditionally include time.h used to 
imply include select.h maybe that should be maintained.

Re: [64bit] cygwin-devel headers broken

[Michael Enright]

When changing from compiler to compiler, even if it be just an OS
point version upgrade, implicit header inclusions go away all the
time. As a developer, I just shrug this off as one of the trade-offs
of choosing to develop in C or C++, which lack proper module systems.

Please don't top-post.

No need for a trade-off. Include-what-you-use (
http://code.google.com/p/include-what-you-use/ )
will tell exactly which headers are needed, so there's no need to rely
on which header includes which.

same here, I will highlight liliypod upstream,
of the missing include [1]

POSIX says:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/sys_time.h.html#tag_13_64

"Inclusion of the <sys/time.h> header may make visible all symbols from
the <sys/select.h> header."

which means <sys/time.h> may (but not must) pollute the namespace with
select().  This means two things:

1. Portable applications should not depend on the pollution (so
reporting it to upstream projects is the right thing to do)

2. Cygwin should do better at emulating Linux and include the namespace
pollution, for the sake of applications that have not yet been patched.

Anyone want to tackle the patch to cygwin's sys/time.h?

I screwed that up, didn't I?

This is a result of the newlib change to sys/time.h.  It has been
updated to the latest stuff from FreeBSD in March.

Before, we had a <cygwin/sys_time.h> header which defines futimes and
lutimes.  Since these symbols are now defined in newlib's new sys/time.h,
I concluded razor-sharp, that we don't need the cygwin-specific
cygwin/sys_time.h anymore.

Unfortunately I missed the fact that this file also includes <sys/select.h>.

> Anyone want to tackle the patch to cygwin's sys/time.h?

I applied a patch.  A new version of Cygwin has to wait until I'm back
from vaca, sorry.

[J. Offerman]

Yes, xserver builds on Cygwin 2.0.1-1 now. It failed because of
"select" being undeclared.
