We can actually avoid some of these issues by importing argc and argv from the CRTDLL and MSVCRT directly instead of providing static definitions created at startup. I believe that's what MSVCRT dynamic startup does, and Mingw currently provides the behaviour of static LIBC instead. It works of course, and that's probably the reason why it hasn't been a problem till now. I'll take a look at the DLL issue and see what we can do without breaking existing code. Colin, if you would like a newer snapshot, please let me know. Regards, Mumit -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com
