Thanks to Alexander Shaduri for the information. 2009-11-02 Charles Wilson <[email protected]> Final sync of pseudo-reloc.c with mingw64 and cygwin * lib/pseudo-reloc.c (__report_error) [CYGWIN]: Correct size bug regarding error messages. 2009-10-29 Charles Wilson <[email protected]> Honor DESTDIR for winsup/mingw and winsup/w32api. Detect and report error if installation paths are win32 format, but DESTDIR is non-empty. * Makefile.in (DESTDIR): Honor per convention. (need-DESTDIR-compatibility): New macro; define it and a corresponding rule. (fail-DESTDIR-compatibility): New dependency goal. (install-dirs): Require need-DESTDIR-compatibility. * mingwex/Makefile.in (DESTDIR): Honor per convention. (need-DESTDIR-compatibility): New macro; define it and a corresponding rule. (fail-DESTDIR-compatibility): New dependency goal. (install): Require need-DESTDIR-compatibility. * profile/Makefile.in: Ditto. 2009-10-25 Charles Wilson <[email protected]> Sync pseudo-reloc.c with mingw64 * psuedo-reloc.c: Remove unnecessary includes. Forward declare _pei386_runtime_relocator. Decorate _image_base__ symbol with macro for mingw64 compatibility. Whitespace changes. (__print_reloc_error): Renamed to... (__report_error): This. "Returns" void, and always aborts. Now used on all platforms. (__write_memory): Remove special case error handling for different platforms - always call __report_error. (do_pseudo_reloc): Remove special case error handling for different platforms - always call __report_error. (_pei386_runtime_relocator): Decorate _image_base__ symbol with mingw64 compatibility macro. 2009-10-23 Charles Wilson <[email protected]> Sync pseudo-reloc.c with cygwin/lib/ * pseudo-reloc.c [CYGWIN]: Added comments throughout and various whitespace fixes. Exploit cygwin_internal(CW_EXIT_PROCESS,...) for fatal error handling that is consistent with cygwin process life-cycle. Ensure state variable (in _pei386_runtime_relocator) is unique to each address space, across fork(). [CYGWIN] (__print_reloc_error): New function for reporting errors in a manner supported by cygwin at this early stage of the process life-cycle. [CYGWIN] (_pei386_runtime_relocator): Ensure relocations performed only once for each address space, but are repeated after fork() in the new address space. [MINGW] (__write_memory): Ensure that b is always initialized by call to VirtualQuery, even if -DNDEBUG. 2009-09-29 Keith Marshall <[email protected]> Make MinGW printf() "%p" format compatible with MSVCRT scanf(). (Based on MinGW-patch 2844514 by Peter Rosin <[email protected]>) * mingwex/stdio/pformat.c (__printf) [%p]: Do not arbitrarily apply... (PFORMAT_HASHED): ...this formatting attribute; honour only user specified format qualifiers, except in special case... [%p && stream.flags == flags && state == PFORMAT_INIT]: Apply... (PFORMAT_ZEROFILL): ...this default formatting attribute... (stream.precision): ...filled to at least 2 * sizeof( uintptr_t ) hexadecimal digits. 2009-09-01 Keith Marshall <[email protected]> Avoid multiple link time definitions of _printf() for C++; (problem reported by Alexander Shaduri, via MinGW-users ML). * include/stdio.h [__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO]: (__mingw_stdio_redirect__) [__cplusplus]: remove `static' keyword. -- Chris Sutcliffe http://emergedesktop.org -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
