There's a new snapshot in the usual place.
In addition, I received the copyright assignment form for Philippe's
patch which copies data areas of cygwin-compiled dlls on fork and
implements the dlopen/dlsym/dlclose/dlerror calls. The patch to apply
to this new snapshot can be found on the ftp site as
dlldataareas-980206-patch. I'd be glad to get feedback on these
changes since they're sizeable and make significant changes to
important parts of the Cygwin library (like fork).
When I apply this, recompile Cygwin, and then build binaries with the
new libcygwin.a, they crash on completion of cygwin.dll initialization
with a STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION. I haven't looked into this yet.
Sergey, have you successfully gotten this stuff to work, out of
curiosity? Unless we get it working soon, I can't put this into
beta 19. :-(
Chris, you're still going to resend the environ patch, right? (Just
want to make sure you don't think I already have it). I think that's
the only other patch left to go in.
Regards,
Geoff
