From: mjc AT stelias DOT com (Michael Callahan) Subject: gettimeofday() / insque()/remque() functions 26 Jun 1997 14:12:01 -0700 Approved: cygnus DOT gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Sender: mjc AT emmy DOT smith DOT edu Original-To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I've just started using Cygwin32 and am certainly very grateful to everyone who worked on it. A couple libc issues I've noticed: - gettimeofday() returns 1 on success; traditionally, imho, it has returned 0 on success and -1 on error. - insque()/remque() and struct qelem are nowhere to be found (in particular, not in stdlib.h). I'm not a libc lawyer, so I don't know if these are problems with cygwin32 or if the code I have that relies on these assumptions is itself faulty. Since the code I'm working with is a large system that does successfully run on late-80s vintage BSD (in the form of Mach), and BSD44 variants, and Linux, it would be nice for Cygwin32 to give a smooth path as well. I've also seen some odd behavior with the tools. - my bash cannot do path completion beyond the first component: e.g cd GNU --> cd GNUwin32/ --> cd GNUwin32/b --> cd GNUwin32/b (no change) - CPP seems to get confused if relative paths are used in header files sometimes (sorry, I'll try to make a simple test case--I'm just mentioning this in case there is an obvious misstep I might have made) If these problems are likely due to my misconfiguration, please let me know.
