From: cabr85@ccsun.strath.ac.uk ("p.a.c.tavares") Subject: cygwin.dll bug 29 Jan 1997 04:44:51 -0800 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: <199701291053.KAA07904.cygnus.gnu-win32@avon.cc.strath.ac.uk> Content-Type: text Original-To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com (Cygwin List) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Length: 1392 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com I found two problems when using functions from string.h (the C one, not String.h) in win95. I believe they are caused by bugs in the utilities and not by my own mistakes. 1. when using GNU make to create the code the compiler confuses string.h and String.h. Because by default String.h comes first on the include path, cpp will include the GNU-C++ String.h when it should include C string.h 2. Once this problem was solved by renaming String.h I found that it compiled and linked with no problems. However I get a runtime error concerning the function strncpy( ). Under gdb I get the following report: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. strncpy (dst=0x263eb30 "H_c\002\027¦@", src=0x0, n=20) at /pizza/mushroom/noer/beta17/src/newlib/libc/string/strncpy.c:58 /pizza/mushroom/noer/beta17/src/newlib/libc/string/strncpy.c:58: No such file or directory.
