CYGWIN + windos10 + eclipse clp prolog

[Manu goswami]

Hi Mr Brian,

Yes, you were right. The problem was upstream in Eclipse Prolog Source code. Has been resolved now. You may consider the issue closed.

Only one query. Cygwin is a good idea and works well.  But is it weaker in GUI and multithreaded as compared to msys2? Kindly advise

Warm regards,

Manu

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply.

Eclipse clp is a version of open source prolog and had been running successfully on my computer for some months.

There has been no change in source code.

What new I did was to install msys2 and call a particular Cygwin compiled exe from msys2. The called Cygwin compiled  .exe did run from msys2 but most probably crashed Cygwin causing segmentation fault ever since. Surprisingly the called Cygwin compiled .exe runs successfully but eclipse clp prolog .exe fails.

Should I remove msys2 ? as I have reinstalled Cygwin multiple times ever since this error occurs.


Warm regards,

Manu

If you want to see replies to your questions, subscribe to the mailing
list, or view the replies on one of the many web based message archives
of the mailing list, including that at cygwin.com.

Report upstream to wherever you got the sources for whatever "eclipse
clp prolog" is - in whatever language(s) they use - web links to
projects and sources are more informative than garbled buzzwords.

SIGSEGV is a symptom of a programming error - out of bounds access -
caused by following the wrong pointer to an invalid location, using a
NULL pointer, array or buffer index incorrect, use after free, incorrect
object size or indirection, just to suggest some of the most frequent
and common causes.

If you have made your own local and/or recent changes to the sources,
they are invariably the likely cause of the issue, so recheck any recent
local work very carefully.

The Cygwin project provides packages for execution and development but,
as Cygwin is an all volunteer effort, with limited personnel each with
limited time, so all projects built using those packages are the
responsibility of those projects downstream of Cygwin, otherwise we
would not have any time to maintain and expand the packages supported.
