According to the Linux man page for getdtablesize(3), the latter is
supposed to return "the maximum number of files a process can have
open, one more than the largest possible value for a file descriptor."
The constant OPEN_MAX_MAX is the only limit enforced by Cygwin, so we
now return that.
Previously getdtablesize returned the current size of cygheap->fdtab,
Cygwin's internal file descriptor table. But this is a dynamically
growing table, and its current size does not reflect an actual limit
on the number of open files.
With this change, gnulib now reports that getdtablesize and
fcntl(F_DUPFD) work on Cygwin. Packages like GNU tar that use the
corresponding gnulib modules will no longer use gnulib replacements on
Cygwin.
- Currently, thread created by pthread_create() is not suspended by
the signal SIGTSTP. For example, even if a process with a thread
is suspended by Ctrl-Z, the thread continues running. This patch
fixes the issue.
- Currently, read() returns -1 with EINTR if the process is suspended
by Ctrl-Z and resumed by fg command, while pty continues to read.
For example, xxd command stops with error "Interrupted system call"
after Ctrl-Z and fg. This patch aligns the behaviour with pty (and
Linux).
Allow fchmodat with the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag to succeed on
non-symlinks. Previously it always failed, as it does on Linux. But
POSIX permits it to succeed on non-symlinks even if it fails on
symlinks.
The reason for following POSIX rather than Linux is to make gnulib
report that fchmodat works on Cygwin. This improves the efficiency of
packages like GNU tar that use gnulib's fchmodat module. Previously
such packages would use a gnulib replacement for fchmodat on Cygwin.
- After commit bb428520, there has been the disadvantage:
7) Pseudo console cannot be activated if it is already activated for
another process on same pty.
This patch clears this disadvantage.
- After commit bb428520, there has been the disadvantage:
2) The apps which use console API cannot be debugged with gdb. This
is because pseudo console is not activated since gdb uses
CreateProcess() rather than exec(). Even with this limitation,
attaching gdb to native app, in which pseudo console is already
activated, works.
This patch clears this disadvantage.
- After commit bb428520, there has been the disadvantage:
4) Code page cannot be changed by chcp.com. Acctually, chcp works
itself and changes code page of its own pseudo console. However,
since pseudo console is recreated for another process, it cannot
inherit the code page.
This patch clears this disadvantage.
- PTY has a problem that the key input, which is typed during windows
native app is running, disappears when it returns to shell. This is
beacuse pty has two input pipes, one is for cygwin apps and the other
one is for native windows apps. The key input during windows native
program is running is sent to the second input pipe while cygwin
shell reads input from the first input pipe. This issue had been
fixed once by commit 29431fcb, however, the new implementation of
pseudo console support by commit bb428520 could not inherit this
feature. This patch realize transfering input data between these
two pipes bidirectionally by utilizing cygwin-console-helper process.
The helper process is launched prior to starting the non-cygwin app,
however, exits immediately unlike previous implementation.
Following POSIX, ensure that ctime is updated if chown succeeds,
unless the new owner is specified as (uid_t)-1 and the new group is
specified as (gid_t)-1. Previously, ctime was unchanged whenever the
owner and group were both unchanged.
Aside from POSIX compliance, this fix makes gnulib report that chown
works on Cygwin. This improves the efficiency of packages like GNU
tar that use gnulib's chown module. Previously such packages would
use a gnulib replacement for chown on Cygwin.
I think we don't need an extra flag as we can utilize: access & FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES
What do you think?

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] syscalls.cc: unlink_nt: Try
FILE_DISPOSITION_IGNORE_READONLY_ATTRIBUTE
Implement wincap.has_posix_unlink_semantics_with_ignore_readonly and when set
skip setting/clearing of READONLY attribute and instead use
FILE_DISPOSITION_IGNORE_READONLY_ATTRIBUTE
Move post-dir unlink check from fhandler_disk_file::rmdir to
_unlink_nt_post_dir_check
If a directory is not removed through fhandler_disk_file::rmdir
we can now make sure the post dir check is performed.
- After the commit 72770148, script command exits occasionally with
the error "Bad file descriptor" if it is started in console on Win7
and non-cygwin process is executed. This patch fixes the issue.
- The buffer used in get_console_process_id(), introduced by commit
72770148, is too large and ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY occurs in Win7.
Therefore, the buffer size has been reduced.
The isdev_dev check in rmdir is unclean. Create a virtual method
fhandler_dev::rmdir to handle this transparently.

- cat exits immediately in the following senario.
1) Execute env CYGWIN=disable_pcon script
2) Execute cmd.exe
3) Execute cat in cmd.exe.
This is caused by setting input_available_event for the pipe for
non-cygwin app. This patch fixes the issue.
- The functions pty_master_thread() and pty_master_fwd_thread()
should be static (i.e. should not access class member) because
the instance is deleted if the master is dup()'ed and the first
master is closed. In this case, because the dup()'ed instance
still exists, these master threads are also still alive even
though the instance has been deleted. As a result, accesing
class members in these functions causes accessi violation.

- After commit 232fde0e, pty changes console code page when the first
non-cygwin app is executed. If pty is started in real console device,
pty changes the code page of root console. This causes very annoying
result because changing code page changes the font of command prompt
if console is in legacy mode. This patch avoids this by creating a
new invisible console for the first pty started in console device.
The old implementation for __cxa_guard_acquire did not return 1,
therefore dynamic initialization was never performed.
If concurrent-safe dynamic initialisation is ever needed, CXX ABI
must be followed when re-implementing __cxa_guard_acquire (et al.)
- The function close_pseudoconsole() should be static so that it
can be safely called in spawn.cc even after the fhandler_pty_slave
instance has been deleted. That is, there is a problem with the
current code. This patch fixes the issue.
- If application changes the console mode, mode management introduced
by commit 10d8c278 will be corrupted. For example, stdout of jansi
v2.0.1 or later is piped to less, jansi resets the xterm mode flag
ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINA_PROCESSING when jansi is terminated. This
causes garbled output in less because less needs this flag enabled.
This patch fixes the issue.
- The workaround for rlwrap introduced by commit 8199b0cc does not
take effect for rlwrap 0.40 or later. This patch add a workaround
for rlwrap 0.40 or later as well.
Update to Linux next 5.10 cpuinfo flags for Intel SDM 36.7.1 Software
Guard Extensions, and 38.1.4 SGX Launch Control Configuration.
Launch control restricts what software can run with enclave protections,
which helps protect the system from bad enclaves.
- Previous workaround has a problem that screen is distorted if up
arrow key is pressed at the first line after running "rlwrap cmd".
This patch fixes the issue.
- Previous code to read response for CSI6n allows invalid response
such as "CSI Pl; Pc H" other than correct response "CSI Pl; Pc R".
With this patch, the response is checked more strictly.
if an application built after API version 334 loads uname dynamically,
it actually gets the old uname, rather than the new uname_x. Fix this by
checking the apps API version in uname and call uname_x instead, if it's
a newer app.

- Sometimes timeout period in term_has_pcon_cap() may not be enough
when the machine slows down for some reason. This patch eases the
issue. In the new code, effective timeout period is expected to be
extended as a result due to slowing-down the wait loop as well when
the machine gets into busy.
The comment and debug output became obsolete in commit 23771fa1f7 when
dup_worker started calling fhandler_base::clone instead of build_fh_pc
and fhandler_base::operator=.
The existing code errors as EINVAL any attempt to set a value for
SO_PEERCRED via setsockopt() on an AF_UNIX/AF_LOCAL socket. But to
enable the workaround set_no_getpeereid behavior for Python one has
to be able to set SO_PEERCRED to zero. Ergo, this patch. Python has
no way to specify a NULL pointer for 'optval'.
This v2 of patch allows the original working (i.e., allow NULL,0 for
optval,optlen to mean turn off SO_PEERCRED) in addition to the new
working described above. The sense of the 'if' stmt is reversed for
readability.
On some systems /bin/sh is not /bin/bash and cygmagic has bash-isms in
it. So even though cygmagic has a /bin/bash shebang, it also needs to be
launched with bash from within Makefile.in.
