BUG REPORTS HAVE TO CONTAIN AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN ORDER TO BE 
USEFUL:

the exact version of GCC, as shown by "gcc -v";

THE SYSTEM TYPE; 
  Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003

THE OPTIONS WHEN GCC WAS CONFIGURED/BUILT; 
  Binaries used from minGW containing

  MinGW version 3.2.0 contains the following list of packages: 
   
  gcc-ada-3.4.2.tar.gz

A DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR; 
  I'd like an output like this:
  
  C:\Temp>socket_connect
  Task running, Execute!
  Startup sockets
  Get a socket
  Try to connect!
  GNAT.SOCKETS.SOCKET_ERROR: [10061] Connection refused
   10061 -
  Resolve_Exception - CONNECTION_REFUSED
  
  
  Note the second last line, printed by a call to
  Gnat.Sockets.Thin.Socket_Errno.
  
  I get the behavior when I comment out the task type.
  (well not the 'Task running, Execute' of course)


A DESCRIPTION OF ACTUAL BEHAVIOR. 
  C:\Temp>socket_connect
  Task running, Execute!
  Startup sockets
  Get a socket
  Try to connect!
  GNAT.SOCKETS.SOCKET_ERROR: [10061] Connection refused
   0 -
  Resolve_Exception - CONNECTION_REFUSED
  
  Note the second last line, printed by a call to
  Gnat.Sockets.Thin.Socket_Errno.
  This time there's no error! 
  This behavior occurs when any task at all is involved. If I write my
  own socket biding, and call WSAGetLastError 
  (as Gnat.Sockets.Thin.Socket_Errno does)
  I still have this behavior. So I can recognize a socketerror,
  via the fact that c-socket function return -1 on error but
  NOT find the reason, unless I use Gnat.sockets, and mask the error out from
  the exception, which breaks socket code not written unsing Gnat.Sockets

I do not see any GNAT bug here. Potentially a problem in your code,
or in the Win32 API you used, but that's all.

Note that GNAT.Sockets.Thin as shown in your build output is an internal
unit that should not be used directly.

How come not many people see this as a bug? 
When a program behaves differently, just because 
a totally non-related task was introduced, I  
consider it a bug. I think Danny is on the right track. 
 
As for the remark of using internal gnat-units, I do state 
that I get the same result if I import WSAGetLastError myself, 
in the same way gnat.sockets.this does, and that way is  
the only way to go. 
function Last_Error return Interfaces.c.int (or long) 
pragma Import(stdcall,Last_Error,WSAGetLastError)

IMO, resetting the error code set by the kernel whenever the internal Ada
tasking functions are called successfully is a bug.  It can be easily fixed:

	* s-osinte-mingw.ads (SetLastError): Import win32api function.
	* s-taprop-mingw.adb (Specific.Is_Valid_Task): Save last OS
	error code and restore if TlsGetValue succeeds.
	(Specific.Set): Likewise.

Danny, to me it seems you've got the solution.  
What will happen next? Will your patch make it into 
the next version, or does it have to be approved by 
someone else, who might not think it's a bug at all? 
Or is this not the correct place to ask this question? 
(I'm a bit confused about how the work on mingw/gcc is organized 
with respect to ACT, the 'gnat-company')

Subject: Re:  Windows errorcodes wrong in Ada when tasking

So you are saying that there is a bug in the Windows kernel ?
Since the Ada run time does not do any reset of the error code.

> It can be easily fixed:

I don't see how this fixes things, since TlsGetValue is also called
in the Self function.

Is_Valid_Task is not called in the test case at hand, and Set is called
during task elaboration, so that's also not problematic.

Did you get a "successful"run of the application with this patch ?
If so, it probably means that the problem is elsewhere and that this
patch is just hiding it.

The function which is called when you use tasking constructs is
Self, and this function is time critical, so it is simply out of the
question to call GetLastError/SetLastError there.

If you want to know the error code associated with your socket call,
you should save the result right away, and not delay this operation.

Arno

Oops, I had split up the patch into a non-critical (as far as
this bug report is concerned) part and a critical part, but messed up when
I pasted into bug report.

Following is the part for Self

In reply to other query in comment #5

The behaviour of TlsGetValue (and the reason for it) is documented, so when
users call it directly, they should know to save and restore the error code
if they want to.

The calls in s-taprop.adb are indirect calls by an internal Ada function, so
users wouldn't know that they should do anything special.

It affects not just windows socket errors, but any error code set by a win32api
function 

But if, as you say, its out of the question to fix this, I won't waste
any more time caring about it.  Perhaps I need to investigate the efects of
these Get/SetLastError calls on c++ code (they are used in gthr-win32.c)

Danny

Closing, as discussed, it would be an undesirable performance hit to make changes
in this area.
