- Pseudo console internally sends escape sequence CSI6n (query cursor
position) on startup of non-cygwin apps. If the terminal does not
support CSI6n, CreateProcess() hangs waiting for response. To prevent
hang, this patch disables pseudo console if the terminal does not
have CSI6n. This is checked on the first execution of non-cygwin
app using the following steps.
1) Check if the terminal support ANSI escape sequences by looking
into terminfo database. If terminfo has cursor_home (ESC [H),
the terminal is supposed to support ANSI escape sequences.
2) If the terminal supports ANSI escape sequneces, send CSI6n for
a test and wait for a responce for 40ms.
3) If there is a responce within 40ms, CSI6n is supposed to be
supported.
Also set-title capability is checked, and removes escape sequence
for setting window title if the terminal does not have the set-
title capability.
Currently, when using CYGWIN's error_start facility, the faulting
process isn't stopped while the error_start process is started when the
fault is caused by an exception. (it even seems possible in theory that
the faulting process could have exited before the error_start process
attaches).
This leads to e.g. the core dump written by CYGWIN='error_start=dumper'
in response to an exception being non-deterministic.
Remove the waitloop argument from try_to_debug(), only used in the
exception case, so the faulting process busy-waits until the error_start
process attaches.
Code archaeology to determine why the code is this way didn't really
turn up any answers, but this seems a low-risk change, as this only
changes the behaviour when:
- a debugger isn't already attached
- an error_start is specified in CYGWIN env var
- an exception has occurred which will be translated to a signal
If error_start invokes something which doesn't attach using
DebugActiveProcess(), we will spin indefinitely, but that will also
currently occur for any of the existing other uses of try_to_debug(),
which default to waitloop=TRUE.
On 32 bit x86, clang seems to miss loading input parameters based
on asm constraints for inline assembly that uses the x87 floating
registers, unless the snippet has got the volatile keyword.

POSIX requires that key destructors are called in a loop
for each key with a non-NULL value until all values are
NULL, or until all destructors for non-NULL values
have been called at least PTHREAD_DESTRUCTOR_ITERATIONS
(per POSIX: 4) times.
Cygwinonly called all destructors with non-NULL values
exactly once. This patch fixes Cygwin to follow POSIX.

There's no reason to do this for the static array, though.

On PROC_EXEC_CLEANUP, the pinfo's in chld_procs are removed.
This is done in a loop always removing the child with index 0.
This, however, results in copying the last child's pinfo in
chld_procs to position 0. Do this for 100 children and you
get 99 entirely useless copy operations.
Fix this by calling remove_proc in reverse order.

256 children per process is a bit tight in some scenarios.
Fix this by revamping the `procs' array. Convert it to an
extensible class child_procs and rename procs to chld_procs.
Fix code throughout to use matching class methods rather than
direct access.
To allow a lot more child processes while trying to avoid
allocations at DLL startup, maintain two arrays within class
child_procs, one using a default size for 255 (i686) or 1023
(x86_64) children, the other, dynamically allocated on overflowing
the first array, giving room for another 1023 (i686) or 4095
(x86_64) processes.
On testing with a simple reproducer on a x86_64 machine with
4 Gigs RAM, a system memory overflow occured after forking
about 1450 child processes, so this simple dynamic should
suffice for a while.

pinfo::remember with the detach parameter set to true is
the only way to call proc_subproc with PROC_DETACHED_CHILD.
This call is exclusively used in spawn to set up a pinfo for
a detached child, and that pinfo goes out of scope right
afterwards without any further action.
Drop the flag and drop the detach parameter from pinfo::remember.

After patch 23a779bf3d
"Cygwin: pinfo: stop remember doing reattach",
PROC_ADDCHILD actually just sets up a new child, mirroring
PROC_DETACHED_CHILD. The actual attaching of the child is
performed by action PROC_REATTACH_CHILD or pinfo::reattach
respectively.
To better reflect what's going on, rename PROC_REATTACH_CHILD
to PROC_ATTACH_CHILD and rename pinfo::reattach to pinfo::attach.
For better readability change PROC_ADDCHILD to PROC_ADD_CHILD.

- In this implementation, pseudo console is created for each native
console app. Advantages and disadvantages of this implementation
over the previous implementation are as follows.
Advantages:
1) No performance degradation in pty output for cygwin process.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-February/243858.html
2) Free from the problem caused by difference of behaviour of control
sequences between real terminal and pseudo console.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2019-December/243281.htmlhttps://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-February/243855.html
3) Free from the problem in cgdb and emacs gud.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-January/243601.htmlhttps://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-March/244146.html
4) Redrawing screen on executing native console apps is not necessary.
5) cygwin-console-helper is not necessary for the pseudo console
support.
6) The codes for pseudo console support are much simpler than that
of the previous one.
Disadvantages:
1) The cygwin program which calls console API directly does not work.
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 apps, in which pseudo console is already
activated, works.
3) Typeahead key inputs are discarded while native console app is
executed. Simirally, typeahead key inputs while cygwin app is
executed are not inherited to native console app.
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.
5) system_printf() does not work after stderr is closed. (Same with
cygwin 3.0.7)
6) Startup time of native console apps is about 3 times slower than
previous implemenation.
7) Pseudo console cannot be activated if it is already activated for
another process on same pty.
Any C++ app that calls 'throw' on 64-bit Cygwin results in an
exception of type STATUS_GCC_THROW (0x20474343) generated by the C++
runtime. Don't pollute the strace output by printing information
about this and other GCC exceptions.
This is necessary in order to be consistent with the following comment
in the definition of _Unwind_RaiseException() in the GCC source file
libgcc/unwind-seh.c:
The exception handler installed in crt0 will continue any GCC
exception that reaches there (and isn't marked non-continuable).
Previously we failed to do this and, as a consequence, the C++ runtime
didn't call std::terminate after an unhandled exception.
This fixes the problem reported here:

- After commit 095972ce5b, charset
conversion in mintty is broken if charset is set to other than
UTF-8. This seems to be caused because mintty does not set locale
yet at fork() call. This patch changes the timing of set_locale()
call again to avoid this issue.
- If native app is exec()'ed in a new pty, setup_locale() loses the
chance to be called. For example, with "mintty -e cmd", charset
conversion does not work as expected. This patch fixes the issue.
- If a lot of mintty are started in a short time from a mintty, some
of them hang with empty screen, crash immediately or hang on exiting
mintty. The following report seems to be related to this issue.

This patch has been inspired by the Linux kernel patch
294f69e662d1 compiler_attributes.h: Add 'fallthrough' pseudo keyword for switch/case use
written by Joe Perches <joe AT perches DOT com> based on an idea from
Dan Carpenter <dan DOT carpenter AT oracle DOT com>. The following text
is from the original log message:
Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an
actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough
warning capability.
All switch/case blocks now should end in one of:
break;
fallthrough;
goto <label>;
return [expression];
continue;
In C mode, GCC supports the __fallthrough__ attribute since 7.1,
the same time the warning and the comment parsing were introduced.
Cygwin-only: add an explicit -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 to the build
flags.
Currently raw_read makes two passes through the list of clients. On
the first pass it tries to read from the client from which it last
read successfully. On the second pass it tries to read from all
connected clients.
Add a new pass in between these two, in which raw_read tries to read
from all clients that are in the fc_input_avail case. This should be
more efficient in case select was previously called and detected input
available.
Slightly tweak the first pass. If a client is marked as having the
last successful read but reading from it now finds no input, don't
unmark it unless we successfully read from a different client on one
of the later passes.
The fifo_reader thread function and the function select.cc:peek_fifo()
can both change the state of a fifo_client_handler. These changes are
made under fifo_client_lock, so there is no race, but the changes can
still be incompatible.
Add code to make sure that only one of these functions can change the
state from its initial fc_listening state. Whichever function does
this calls the fhandler_fifo::record_connection method, which is now
public so that peek_fifo can call it.
Slightly modify that method to make it suitable for being called by
peek_fifo.
Make a few other small changes to the fifo_reader thread function to
change how it deals with the STATUS_PIPE_CLOSING value that can
(rarely) be returned by NtFsControlFile.
Add commentary to fhandler_fifo.cc to explain fifo_client connect
states and where they can be changed.
Don't try to read from fifo_client_handlers that are in the fc_closing
state. Experiments have shown that this always yields
STATUS_PIPE_BROKEN, so it just wastes a Windows system call.
Re-order the values in enum fifo_client_connect_state to reflect the
new status of fc_closing.
Rename the existing set_state() to query_and_set_state() to reflect
what it really does. (It queries the O/S for the pipe state.) Add a
new set_state() method, which is a standard setter, and a
corresponding getter get_state().
fhandler_fifo::take_ownership() is called from select.cc::peek_fifo
and fhandler_fifo::raw_read and could potentially block indefinitely
if something goes wrong. This is always undesirable in peek_fifo, and
it is undesirable in a nonblocking read. Fix this by adding a timeout
parameter to take_ownership.
Arbitrarily use a 1 ms timeout in peek_fifo and a 10 ms timeout in
raw_read. These numbers may have to be tweaked based on experience.
Replace the call to cygwait in take_ownership by a call to WFSO.
There's no need to allow interruption now that we have a timeout.
