execute of pthreads-2001-07-03 fails

[Scott Rowe]

Hello,
when I download and run the pthreads-2001-07-03.exe file, I
get the DOS error message: "Program too big to fit in memory"

the previous release runs and unpacks fine. Do you know what
could be wrong?
Thank you.

At the moment it appears to be a zip file and not an exe.  Rename it to .zip
and unzip it as usual and it should work.  That error and "illegal instruction"
seem pretty common when a file is not actually an exe but named as one.

Thanks. I've temporarily renamed the file to .zip on both ftp
sites:

ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/pthreads-win32/
and
ftp://real.ise.canberra.edu.au/pub/pthreads-win32/

execute of pthreads-2001-07-03 fails

[Harish SS]

Hi,

When building the pthreads-2001.-7-03 tests, I get the following message.

Compiling exception3.exe
exception3.c
... Running VCE test: exception3.exe
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '.\exception3.exe' : return code '0x3'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\MSDEV\VC98\BIN\NMAKE.EXE' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
with an exception unhadled exception.

Could you help me iron out the reason/bug.

Best Regds,

Harish SS

tests/exception3.c is designed to exercise this known bug. The bug is
mentioned in the ANNOUNCE file:

      ---------------------------
      Known bugs in this snapshot
      ---------------------------

      1. Under MS VC++ (only tested with version 6.0), a term_func
         set via the standard C++ set_terminate() function is not called
         for some reason. The code in private.c:ptw32_threadStart()
         makes an explicit call to terminate(), which works as expected
         under MinGW32 g++, but doesn't appear to run the term_func
under
         MS VC++ 6.0.

The code has changed slightly since this was written, but the logic is
basically the same. The user supplied terminate function is retrieved
using set_terminate() and then run directly. If anybody does have a
solution it would nice to clean this one up.
