I decided to try to put some investigation into the cygpath crashings
that have been reported so much. Here are my findings.. I hope this
helps! I'd be happy to try further debuggings, except I couldn't figure
out how to attach a debugger to the program (because as previously noted
the hang only occurs when running from setup.exe)
I used the basic setup contained in
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-10/msg00049.html , but made a
new program I call cygcrash.cc, which I include the source code to at
the end of this message. If I comment out the call to
SHGetPathFromIDList in this program, the program returns, else it hangs.
Also, This program seems to be both valid c++ and c code. If it is
compiled in gcc, all is fine. In g++, it hangs.
If there is anything else anyone would like me to try (like taking a -E
and picking out all the useless bits of shlobj.h), I'd be happy to do
so, but won't unless it will be useful to someone :)
-- Code begins --
#include <shlobj.h>
void fee (void) {
char *buf;
LPITEMIDLIST id;
SHGetPathFromIDList (id, buf);
}
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
return 0;
}
