32 bit Cygwin still exports function calls to support old applications.
E. g., when switching from 16 to 32 bit uid/gid values, new function
like getuid32 have been added and the old getuid function still only
provides 16 bit values. Newly built applications using getuid are
actually calling getuid32.
However, this link magic isn't performed inside Cygwin itself, so if
newlib functions call getuid, they actually call the old getuid, not
the new getuid32. This leads to truncated uid/gid values.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-January/250453.html reports
how this leads to problems in posix_spawn.
Fix this temporarily. i686 support will go away soon in Cygwin and the
fix can be dropped.

We need deps to newlib's libc.a and libm.a, otherwise changes
in newlib code don't trigger a rebuild of the Cygwin DLL.

get_posix_access() creates DEF_*_OBJ aclent_t entries from Windows ACEs
with INHERIT flags set, independent of the file type. These flags only
make sense on directory objects, but certain Windows functions don't
check the file type and allow INHERIT ACE flags even on non-directories.
As a fix, make sure to ignore the INHERIT flags on non-directory ACLs
and don't propagate the matching DEF_*_OBJ aclent_t entries to callers.

For some RTEMS multilibs, the FPU and Altivec units are disabled during
interrupt handling. Do not save and restore the corresponding registers in
this case.
In order to transition to automake, we have to use hardcoded paths in
the AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR macro call (since automake evaluates the path
itself, and doesn't expand vars), so simplify all the calls here.
Since automake deprecated the INCLUDES name in favor of AM_CPPFLAGS,
change all existing users over. The generated code is the same since
the two variables have been used in the same exact places by design.
There are other cleanups to be done, but lets focus on just renaming
here so we can upgrade to a newer automake version w/out triggering
new warnings.
This is simply reflecting reality: all the subdirs in here are already
using automake-1.11.6, so making it a requirement will allow us to stop
suggesting we might support automake-1.9 or 1.10 (which I'm fairly sure
do not work today).
This is why only acinclude.m4 changes in this patch: the generated files
are exactly the same as the directives here are automake constraints,
not generated code logic.
Update the python version for python-lxml and python-ply packages.
'dblate' now depends on python39, so that will be installed and made the
default by alternatives, so make sure that these python packages are
also available for that python version.
The 'cygnus' option was removed from automake 1.13 in 2012, so the
presence of this option prevents that or a later version of automake
being used.
A check-list of the effects of '--cygnus' from the automake 1.12
documentation, and steps taken (where possible) to preserve those
effects (See also this thread [1] for discussion on that):
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-03/msg00048.html
1. The foreign strictness is implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
2. The options no-installinfo, no-dependencies and no-dist are implied.
Already present in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4
Future work: Remove no-dependencies and any explicit header dependencies,
and use automatic dependency tracking instead. Are there explicit rules
which are now redundant to removing no-installinfo and no-dist?
3. The macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is required.
Already present in newlib/acinclude.m4
Note that maintainer-mode is still disabled by default.
4. Info files are always created in the build directory, and not in the
source directory.
This appears to be an error in the automake documentation describing
'--cygnus' [2]. newlib's info files are generated in the source
directory, and no special steps are needed to keep doing that.
[2] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-04/msg00028.html
5. texinfo.tex is not required if a Texinfo source file is specified.
(The assumption is that the file will be supplied, but in a place that
automake cannot find.)
This effect is overriden by an explicit setting of the TEXINFO_TEX
variable (the directory part of which is fed into texi2X via the
TEXINPUTS environment variable).
6. Certain tools will be searched for in the build tree as well as in the
user's PATH. These tools are runtest, expect, makeinfo and texi2dvi.
For obscure automake reasons, this effect of '--cygnus' is not active
for makeinfo in newlib's configury.
However, there appears to be top-level configury which selects in-tree
runtest, expect and makeinfo, if present. So, if that works as it
appears, this effect is preserved. If not, this may cause problem if
anyone is building those tools in-tree.
This effect is not preserved for texi2dvi. This may cause problems if
anyone is building texinfo in-tree.
If needed, explicit checks for those tools looking in places relative to
$(top_srcdir)/../ as well as in PATH could be added.
7. The check target doesn't depend on all.
This effect is not preseved. The check target now depends on the all
target.
This concern seems somewhat academic given the current state of the
testsuite.
Also note that this doesn't touch libgloss.
Add all the effects of 'cygnus' for which there exists an explicit way
to request that behaviour:
* Implied foreign strictness and options no-installinfo, no-dependencies
and no-dist are added to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE in newlib/acinclude.m4.
* macro AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is added to newlib/acinclude.m4.
* For the implied TEXINFO_TEX of '$(top_srcdir)/../texinfo/texinfo.tex',
an explicit TEXINFO_TEX is always relative to $(srcdir), so write the
same pathname in that form.
This is to prepare for the removal of the automake option '--cygnus'.
NtQueryInformationProcess(ProcessHandleInformation) can return
STATUS_SUCCESS with invalid handle data for certain processes
("minimal" processes on Windows 10). This can cause a crash when
there's an attempt to access that data. Fix that by setting
NumberOfHandles to zero before calling NtQueryInformationProcess.

Add patch, and make cocom unconditional in list of build prerequisites.
Even though the products of these tools are checked in, these tools are
required when building in a fresh git checkout, presumably due to the
order in which git creates the files resulting in timestamps which
indicate that the output of rules using these tools are older than
the inputs.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-December/250124.html
Also drop a duplicate sentence about 'fetch sources from git'.
Add a configure option '--disable-doc' to disable building of the
documentation by the 'all' target.
Check for the required tools at configure time, and require them if
building documentation is enabled.
Even if building the documentation was diabled with '--disable-doc',
'make -C doc' at the top-level can still make the documentation, if the
documentation tools were found. If the tools were not found, 'missing'
is used to issue a warning about that.
Update instructions for building Cygwin appropriately.
(Building documentation remains the default to increase the chances of
noticing when building the documentation is broken.)
- This patch fixes the failure of input switching between io_handle
and io_handle_nat. This very rarely happens, however, input is
wrongly switched to io_handle_nat even though the non-cygwin app
is in the background.
- The recent commit "Cygwin: pty: Add missing input transfer when
switch_to_pcon_in state." causes regression that rlwrap cannot
work with cmd.exe. This patch fixes the issue.
- The recent commit: "Cygwin: pty: Fix Ctrl-C handling for non-cygwin
apps in background." causes the problem that cmd.exe is terminated
by Ctrl-C even if it is running in pseudo console. This patch fixes
the issue.
- With this patch, FILE_SYNCHRONOUS_IO_NONALERT flag is applied to
the read pipe so that native C# programs work with cygwin pipe.
To handle signals in reading pipe with this flag set, the read
pipe itself is always set to nonblocking mode and simulates the
blocking behaviour in raw_read().
- Default to byte mode rather than message mode in order to make
C# programs work with cygwin pipe.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-March/247987.html
- With pseudo console enabled, if the non-cygwin app is started in
the background and put it into the foreground, the process cannot
be stopped by Ctrl-C. This patch fixes the issue.
- This patch fixes the bug that input is wrongly sent to io_handle_nat
rather than io_handle when neither read() nor select() is called
after the cygwin app is started from non-cygwin app. This happens
only if psuedo console is disabled.
Addresses:
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-patches/2021q4/011587.html
- The last change in path.cc introduced a bug that causes an error
when accessing a virtual drive which mounts UNC path such as
"\\server\share\dir" rather than "\\server\share". This patch
fixes the issue.
Use AM_SILENT_RULES, to enable automake silent rules (by default), if we
are using a version of automake which supports it (>=1.11).
Silent rules can be disabled by configuring with '--disable-silent-rules',
or invoking 'make V=1'.
For ease of reviewing, this patch doesn't contain configure and
Makefile.in regeneration.
Future work: There are a few compilations which are not silenced by
this, as they use custom rules.
This avoids warning with autoconf >= 2.70:
configure.ac:47: warning: The macro `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' is obsolete.
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS has been supported since before autconf 2.59, the
minimum version we can be using, controlled by AC_PREREQ.
- This patch uses gdtoa imported from OpenBSD if newlib configure
option "--enable-newlib-use-gdtoa=no" is NOT specified. gdtoa
provides more accurate output and faster conversion than legacy
ldtoa, while it requires more heap memory.
- Currently, frexpl() supports only the following cases.
1) LDBL_MANT_DIG == 64 or 113
2) 'long double' is equivalent to 'double'
This patch add support for LDBL_MANT_DIG == 53.
This patch fixed a problem which isn't in newlib, but in projects
incorrectly using symbols from the reserved namespace.
This reverts commit 3ba1bd0d9d.
