It's quite clear from what Angelo wrote that Cygwin's getrlimit is not
a fully functional emulation. Just to be sure, I looked into the
Cygwin sources and found this gem:
extern "C" int
getrlimit (int resource, struct rlimit *rlp)
{
[...]
switch (resource)
{
[...]
case RLIMIT_AS:
rlp->rlim_cur = 0x80000000UL;
rlp->rlim_max = 0x80000000UL;
break;
This obviously cannot work with vm-limit.c.
I think the test in configure should compare rlim_cur with rlim_max,
and if they are identical, deduce that getrlimit is non-functional and
not set HAVE_GETRLIMIT.
