- Subject: Identifying pthread threading bug
I am building glib on cygwin, using this release:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.6/2.6.1/sources/glib-2.4.1.tar.bz2
When I build with
./configure -C --prefix=/usr --enable-threads --with-libiconv \
--enable-shared --disable-static
the build succeeds, but the unit test test/child-test waits indefinitely
on a child.
When I build with
./configure -C --prefix=/usr --disable-threads --with-libiconv \
--enable-shared --disable-static
the test succeeds.
I infer that the problem is due to enabling threading, and since the
code works on most, if not all, other platforms supporting POSIX
threads, I think it's likely that it's doing something that Cygwin
doesn't like, or is racy. Could anyone suggest how I might track down
the cause of the problem? I'm not particularly familiar with the Cygwin
internals, or threading, but I'm OK with gdb and C.
Many thanks,
Roger
