I've been following the threads about STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION/segfault
problems for some days now, since I had really bad troubles running a
software which works without a hitch under Linux and mingw, and also used to
work with previous gnuwin32/cygwin releases.
I've been looking into it, and I am 100% sure that's it a problem with the
latest cygwin release (maybe with the linker or ar, or with the system
libraries, you experts know better ;-).
The problem occurs whenever you build a static library and a program which
is linked to both this library and libm.a. I can reproduce it with sources
as simple as the following:
*** Makefile:
t: t.o libl.a
gcc -o t t.o -lm -L. -ll
t2: t2.o
gcc -o t2 t2.o -lm
libl.a: l.o
ar cr $@ l.o
# ranlib $@
clean:
rm -f *.o *.a *.exe
*** t.c:
int main()
{
test("hello");
}
*** l.c:
#include <stdio.h>
void test(char *s)
{
puts(s);
}
---
The build process:
$ make
gcc -c -o t.o t.c
gcc -c -o l.o l.c
ar cr libl.a l.o
gcc -o t t.o -lm -L. -ll
Run the program:
$ ./t
0 [main] T 1602 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
1084 [main] T 1602 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to T.EXE.stackdump
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The same program works fine when the -lm is omitted:
$ gcc -o t t.o -L. -ll
$ ./t
hello
And it only happens when invoking the test() function from a separate
library (the standard hello world program works), so probably it is not a
problem with libm.a alone.
My system is: Intel Pentium III-500/256 MB, Windows 98 SE (German), running
cygwin 1.1.4, cygcheck -s gives: Win9X Ver 4.10 build 67766446 A. The gcc
is 2.95.2, of course.
Ok, I hope that you can figure this out... BTW, I also suspect that there's
a problem with dlopen() in the latest cygwin, but I'll have to recheck once
this problem is solved.
Cheers,
Albert
