I've put a new winsup snapshot in the usual place.  This one includes
more code reorganization changes as well as bug fixes for the readlink
problem affecting RCS and some other changes.

I'm also pleased to announce that Christopher Faylor has joined
Cygnus Solutions and will be working on Cygwin32, among other
Win32-related endeavors.

ChangeLog entries since the last snapshot follow.

--------------------------------> snip <-----------------------------

Wed Apr 22 15:43:56 1998  Geoffrey Noer <noer AT cygnus DOT com>

        * syscalls.cc (cygname): delete
        * shared.cc (shared_name): new, was cygname
        * strace.cc, exceptions.cc, sigproc.cc, shared.cc: fix
        cygname references in light of above

Wed Apr 22 14:12:09 EDT 1998  Christopher Faylor <cgf AT cygnus DOT com>

        * select.cc (fd_set_map::remove_pair_by_handle): minor optimization
        * strace.cc (strace_printf): change format for consistency

        patch from sos AT prospect DOT com DOT ru (Sergey Okhapkin):
        * dcrt0.cc (dll_crt0): Call global constructors explicitly
        * tty.cc (create_tty_master): Remove code which attempted to
        invoke tty constructor

Tue Apr 21 16:18:27 EDT 1998  Christopher Faylor <cgf AT cygnus DOT com>

        * environ.cc (ucenv): inline
        (posify): Ditto
        (environ_init): remove obsolete function use
        * path.cc (symlink_check_one): Set errno here where appropriate.
        (readlink): Rely on errno set by symlink_check_one rather than
        defaulting to EINVAL.  Should fix problems with RCS.

Tue Apr 21 15:36:41 EDT 1998  Christopher Faylor <cgf AT cygnus DOT com>

        * Implement a NOSTRACE preprocessor define to allow building
        Cygwin32 without any STRACE code.
        * configure.in: Add entries for architecture specific programs
        to allow easier cross-compile builds
        * configure: Ditto
        * Makefile.in: Ditto
        * console.cc (fhandler_console::char_command): Fix two problems
        with cursor position report:  1) it reported position relative
        to beginning of buffer rather than beginning of screen,  2) it
        reported y, x in reversed order
        * dcrt0.cc: Remove NO_COPY from variables that don't need it.
        Remove variables obsoleted by NO_COPY.
        (dll_crt0_1): strace settings are now inherited.  Don't try
        to initialize strace early.  Remove initialization of variables
        which are now handled automatically by NO_COPY.  Set error mode
        for Cygwin32 to fail on critical errors rather than popping up
        a dialog box.
        * spawn.cc (spawn_guts): Always use default error mode when
        spawning a new process.  Move error message to more generally
        useful location.  Terminate signal handling in a cygwin parent
        process or two processes will be handling signals.
        (_spawnve): Inherit strace stuff 
        * exceptions.cc (events_init): Provide more information on
        "Catastrophic failure".  Change error message wording slightly.
        * fork.cc: Remove obsolete structure
        (cygwin_fork_helper1): Remove use of obsolete structure.  Inherit
        strace settings in child processes.
        * sigproc.cc (sigproc_init): Set wait_sig priority immediately
        after thread creation.
        * smallprint.c: Remove unneeded include
        * strace.cc: Reorganize to handle NOSTRACE
        (strace_open): Use strace entries in pinfo structure which are
        now inherited
        (strace_dump): ditto
        (strace_init): preprocessor define STRACE_HHMMSS causes strace
        output to use alternate log file format.
        (strace_printf): ditto
        * syscalls.cc (access): Remove SetErrorMode in favor of global
        cygwin32 setting in dll_crt0_1.
        * fhandler.cc: Handle NOSTRACE
        * tty.cc: Ditto
        * window.cc: Ditto
        * include/sys/strace.h: Ditto
        * winsup.h: Move strace_file handle from per_process to pinfo so
        that it can be inherited.  Remove obsolete pinfo entry.

Tue Apr 21 14:30:52 EDT 1998  Christopher Faylor <cgf AT cygnus DOT com>

        * hinfo.cc (cygwin32_attach_handle_to_fd): New function
        * include/sys/cygwin.h: Ditto.
        * cygwin.din: Export new cygwin-specific function

Tue Apr 21 02:32:08 1998  Geoffrey Noer  <noer AT cygnus DOT com>

        * syscalls.cc: comment out file_queue struct that doesn't
        seem to be used for anything anymore.  Don't need to include
        stdarg.h or sys/socket.h.  Include utmp.h.  Minor respacing.
        Move all functions from misc.cc here.
        (_read): change strace debug printf function name to _read
        (logout): rename success to res
        * misc.cc: delete file
        * Makefile.in: adjust for above change

Tue Apr 21 01:45:05 1998  Geoffrey Noer  <noer AT cygnus DOT com>

        * dir.cc: new file for directory-related functions, was
        dirsearch.cc.
        (mkdir, rmdir, writable_directory): move here from syscalls.cc,
        writable_directory no longer static
        * dirsearch.cc: delete file
        * winsup.h: add proto for writable_directory.
        * errno.cc: new file for errno-related functions, move errmap
        struct here from syscalls.cc
        (seterrno): move from syscalls.cc
        (strerror): move from strerror.cc
        * strerror.cc: delete file

        * termios.cc: add comments, add extern "C" in front of exported
        calls, move debugging local functions to end of file
        * winsup.h: remove fork_terminate proto for function that is no
        longer with us.  Add strccpy proto.
        * spawn.cc (_spawnve): make static
        (strccpy): remove in favor of identical function in exec.cc
        * exec.cc (strccpy): no longer static

        patch from newsham AT lava DOT net (Tim Newsham):
        * select.cc (cygwin32_select): fix off by one error, stop
        using memcpy to copy memory over itself

Thu Apr 16 16:23:00 1998  Geoffrey Noer  <noer AT cygnus DOT com>

        * net.cc: respace, put all fhandler_socket functions together
        (getsockopt): fix case statement bug resulting in faulty strace
        output
        (setsockopt): ditto
        * shared.cc: throughout, rename global h to cygwin_shared_h
        * strerror.cc: make error global a local variable
        * fhandler.h: add comments, add virtual function always_read_ready
        to fhandler_serial which should return zero to allow non-blocking
        serial I/O.
        * Makefile.in: select.cc should depend on select.h

Wed Apr 15 16:14:01 1998  Geoffrey Noer  <noer AT cygnus DOT com>

        * select.h: new file, containing macros used by select.cc.

        * ntea.cc (NTReadEARaw): mark as static, don't check allow_ntea
        since this is only accessed by functions that have already checked
        it.
