MinTTY requires gdiplus.dll ? (2)

Hi,

As I wrote in the preceding post ...

Using Corinna's latest snapshot in a "Dos box" results in a
prompt from bash.

Once in bash, I can launch MinTTY ( 64-@@ /usr/bin/mintty )

Placing strace in front of this call, results in:

64-@@ strace /usr/bin/mintty

I can reproduce this but while it's clear *where* it happens, it's
unclear *when* and *why* it happens.

It only occurs if mintty is the first process in a process tree. I.e.,
when starting mintty from a shell running in a DOS window, the problem
disappears.

Worse, the problem also disappears when running mintty under gdb.

There's also another dll reported from winsxs rather than System32 in
your log. Maybe some files got corrupted on your system?

Unclear to me what exactly can be reproduced. With today's snapshot
cygwin1.dll, I can start mintty any way, also from Explorer, via
shortcut, or directly from cmd.exe (skipping cygwin shell).

Files corrupted on Windows? Very likely.

That is why I stay as much as is possible way from my C:\ drive (in any

Lot of them!

Now I have to find out ... how to select the proper one and put it back
in its proper
place.

... and I do not even want to know why it got lost :-(

Right.

copied this one:
c:/Windows/winsxs/amd64_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.24280_none_145e10148b8de48e/GdiPlus.dll
( 2177536 Oct 6 17:58 )

to c:/Windows/system32, on the 64-bits instance of Cygwin, and

copied this one:
c:/Windows/winsxs/x86_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.7601.24280_none_5c0b46eba00a0d94/GdiPlus.dll
( 1633280 Oct 6 17:43 )

to c:/Windows/system32, on the 32-bits instance of Cygwin.

(and No, normally I do not do these kinds of things. I think Windows
should take
care of itself -- it does not)

Now, "cygcheck mintty" (both on 64-bits and 32-bits) is "happy": all
DLL's can be
found ... Good Heavens.

Are you running Windows 10? If so, you won't see this problem.
It only occurs on pre-W10 systems. I have a local workaround but
I want to debug this a bit more since I still don't understand *why*
this occurs in the first place.

Btw., a mintty-debuginfo package would be most helpful...

Uhm, if I invoke "gdb /usr/bin/mintty" (so, from the "Dos box") the
problem
does NOT disappear.

That is:

2 threads are created ... and that is it; no MinTTY window showing
up!

(hint: my system is a bit more peculiar than yours)

I'm trying to avoid remote debugging so I rather try to reproduce this
@work. However, if you're interested in debugging this, set a
breakpoint to clk_monotonic_t::now() and observe how the call to the
virtual init() method hangs or crashes. If you find out why, I'd be
most grateful.

Sorry Corinna, your request is way over my head. I can only confirm,
that gdb
does not return in clock.c

I set a breakpoint as you instructed. Subsequently I entered "run":

Thread 1 hit Breakpoint 1, clk_monotonic_t::now (
this=***@entry=0x1802f91b0
<strace::microseconds()::clock_monotonic>,
clockid=***@entry=0, ts=***@entry=0xffffc7c0)
at
/ext/build/mknetrel/src/cygwin-snapshot-20181129-1/winsup/cygwin/clock.cc

Then I "stepped" through winsup/cygwin/clock.cc

169 in
/ext/build/mknetrel/src/cygwin-snapshot-20181129-1/winsup/cygwin/cloc
k.cc
(gdb)

Here "I lost control" ...

Using https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git, I can
see that
it is "close" to the call of init() in clk_monotonic_t::now().

That is it for the moment. Still curious what Thomas W. has to report
about his
system.

Regards,

Henri

Below I included parts of the diff between 1126 and 1129. You have been
refactoring the code related to "timing".

Above you state that the call to init() (clk_monotonic_t::init(), is my
understanding) from clk_monotonic_t::now() makes the cygwin1.dll end up
in "some mysterious loop" (my wording). At least on pre-W10 ...

Looking at the code (trying to understand it), it appears to me that it
is NOT "Windows version" dependent ...

My question: why do you claim in

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-11/msg00261.html

that Windows 10 is NOT affected? Does W10 run a different "thread" in
the Cygwin codebase?

Regards,
Henri
