Re: sigsegv in compiled cygwin


i found small piece of code that need some comment.

from trunk

int (*wsastartup) (int, WSADATA *);

      /* Don't use autoload to load WSAStartup to eliminate recursion. */
      wsastartup = (int (*)(int, WSADATA *))
		   GetProcAddress ((HMODULE) (dll->handle), "WSAStartup");

would have meant
      typedef int __stdcall (*pfnwsastartup) (int, WSADATA *);
      pfnwsastartup wsastartup;
      wsastartup = (pfnwsastartup)
		   GetProcAddress ((HMODULE) (dll->handle), "WSAStartup");

otherwise stack frame would be damaged.

it seems redirection statement('Kludge alert') in autoload.cc didn't
work as expected.
what would i do??

Well, since you're trying to do something cutting edge and unsupported it seems like you will have to debug the problem using gdb and, if you really want this to work, make a change to autoload.cc to fix the problem. Look at a call frame for normal program and find where the return address is stored.

Either that or wait for us to move to a newer version of gcc.
