Before commit 44f73c5a6206 ("Cygwin: Fix segfalt when too many command
line args are specified.") we had no actual argument size limit, except
for the fact that the child process created another copy of the argv
array on the stack, which could result in a stack overflow and a
subsequent SEGV. Commit 44f73c5a6206 changed that by allocating the
additional argv array via malloc, and it introduced a new SC_ARG_MAX
limit along the lines of the typical Linux limit.
However, this new limit is artificial. Cygwin allocates all argument
and environment data on the cygheap. We only run out of ARG_MAX space
if we're out of memory resources.
Change argument size handling accordingly:
- Drop the args size check from child_info_spawn::worker.
- Return -1 from sysconf (SC_ARG_MAX), i. e., the argument size limit
is undefined.
- Change argv handling in class av, so that a failing cmalloc is not
fatal. This allows the parent process to return E2BIG if it's out
of cygheap resources.
- In the child, add a check around the new malloc call, so that it
doesn't result in a SEGV if the child process gets unexpectedly into
an ENOMEM situation at this point. In this (unlikely) case, proceed
with the original __argv array instead. Add comment to explain why.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
