Hi.

During bootstrap of cvs head on cygwin I got well-known
DIRENTRY_NONEMPTY error and fixed it with
-#ifdef MSDOS
+#if defined(MSDOS) || defined(CYGWIN)

Unfortunately, bootstrap still fails in a different place:

[...]
./temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
Loading loadup.el (source)...
[...]
Loading language/utf-8-lang (source)...
Loading language/georgian (source)...
Loading international/ucs-tables (source)...
mv -f emacs.exe bootstrap-emacs.exe
mv: cannot stat `emacs.exe': No such file or directory
make: *** [bootstrap-emacs.exe] Error 1

May be it is related to the `indian.el' bug problem you are working at...

??? Is this the exact and full fragment of what you see?  Did the
build indeed try to "mv -f emacs.exe" right after loading
ucs-tables/el?  You will see in loadup.el that quite a few more Lisp
files had to be loaded, and then Emacs should have dumped itself.

If it is, then try resyncing with the CVS, because that problem is
already solved there.

Yes, that is way I guessed that it is the same problem as with
indian.el.

> it looks like Emacs died in the middle of loadup--is that true?

Yes and the newest file in the src directory is temacs.exe (that is
there is no core dump).

I always update it and ChangeLog has your 2006-01-20 record.

I made the following experiments: in loadup.el I commented out

;;(load "international/ucs-tables")

and temacs starts to silently die at font-lock

;;(update-coding-systems-internal)

same result (font-lock)

;;(load "font-lock")

and it goes to

Loading mouse (source)...
mv -f emacs.exe bootstrap-emacs.exe

removing mouse

      ;;(load "mouse")
and

Loading language/georgian (source)...
Loading indent (source)...
Loading window (source)...
Loading frame (source)...
Loading term/tty-colors (source)...
Loading font-core (source)...

(gdb) p get
$8 = 327680

Something is wrong with this: #13 calls obtain(0x20aa0000,327680) but
#12 is in obtain(0x202999cc,548012032)

I inserted to r_alloc_sbrk

  get += extra_bytes + page_size;
+ static unsigned cnt = 0;
+ fprintf(stderr, "* not found (%d), obtain more space: %d\n", ++cnt, get);
  if (! obtain (address, get))
    return 0;
+ fprintf(stderr, "* OK\n");

and get the following:

Loading language/thai (source)...
Loading language/tibetan (source)...
* not found (16), obtain more space: 327680
* OK

Loading language/misc-lang (source)...

[...]
* not found (277), obtain more space: 327680
* not found (278), obtain more space: 327680
mv -f emacs.exe bootstrap-emacs.exe

Note that there is no real shortage of memory -- the first time there
is no `* OK' temacs uses only 13 Mb (accorting to task manager), and
there are another ~300 Mb free. Another observation is that even if
obtain does not return anything the memory usage in task manager
increases after each call (up to 16 Mb after `not found' number 278,
that is 10 Kb on average).

I also inserted a debug print into obtain():

+ fprintf(stderr, "* obtain(%d, %d)\n", address, size);

and it is consistent with what was asked:

[...]
Loading language/tibetan (source)...
* not found (16), obtain more space: 327680
* obtain(547815424, 327680)
* OK

* not found (18), obtain more space: 327680
* obtain(548012032, 327680)
[...]

so the backtrace was screwed up.

I made yet another experiment -- add printout to each return in
obtain() to check what is the reason of no `* OK' and it looks like
obtain just not return at all. This is what I added:

obtain (address, size)
[...]
+ fprintf(stderr, "* obtain(%d, %d), heap = %d\n", address, size, heap);
  if (! heap)
    abort ();
[...]
  if ((*real_morecore) ((char *) bloc_start - (char *) new) != new){
+   fprintf(stderr, "* cannot make a new heap: %d - %d\n", bloc_start, new);
    return 0;
  }
[...]
  if ((*real_morecore) (get) != last_heap->end){
+    fprintf(stderr, "* cannot get some extra %d\n", get);
     return 0;
+ }
[...]
+ fprintf(stderr, "* obtain() returns %d\n", address);
  return address;

and this is what I get:

Loading language/tibetan (source)...
* not found (16), obtain more space: 327680
* obtain(547815424, 327680), heap = 539798416

Any ideas? BTW, this host has cygwin1.dll 1.5.19-4 (build date

But indian.el was loaded already, long ago, at the point where
ucs-tables are loaded.  So I doubt that this has anything to do with
that problem, and it was fixed already anyway.

It's better to install a newer version of GDB: the backtrace code got
improved in the year that passed since that version was built.

Not yet, but I might have some ideas later.  Emacs bootstraps (with
MinGW) just fine on my XP box.  But if I run temacs inside GDB, I see
that loading ucs-tables.el causes `obtain' to be called 3 times with
these arguments:

    Breakpoint 3, obtain (address=0x192c458, size=24) at ralloc.c:255
    255       for (heap = last_heap; heap; heap = heap->prev)
    (gdb)
    Continuing.
    Loading international/ucs-tables (source)...

    Breakpoint 3, obtain (address=0x192c458, size=102512) at ralloc.c:255
    255       for (heap = last_heap; heap; heap = heap->prev)
    (gdb)
    Continuing.

    Breakpoint 3, obtain (address=0x193f458, size=102512) at ralloc.c:255
    255       for (heap = last_heap; heap; heap = heap->prev)

Then I see an error message:

   Attempt to autoload define-minor-mode while preparing to dump

And then it aborts.  So I kinda can reproduce your problem, although
it doesn't prevent bootstrapping on my system.

I will try to find out why this error message is being printed, but
note that I don't see any such message during the actual bootstrap,
only when I run temacs _after_ bootstrapping.

After some more tinkering, I think I know why the error message about
autoloading define-minor-mode doesn't show during bootstrapping.  The
function eval.c:do_autoload, which issues that message, does this:

  /* This is to make sure that loadup.el gives a clear picture
     of what files are preloaded and when.  */
  if (! NILP (Vpurify_flag))
    error ("Attempt to autoload %s while preparing to dump",
	   SDATA (SYMBOL_NAME (funname)));

So this message and the resulting abort should only happen when
purify-flag is non-nil.  However, loadup.el does this:

  (if (or (equal (nth 3 command-line-args) "bootstrap")
	  (equal (nth 4 command-line-args) "bootstrap")
	  ;; in case CANNOT_DUMP
	  (equal (nth 0 command-line-args) "../src/bootstrap-emacs"))
      (let ((dir (car load-path)))
	;; We'll probably overflow the pure space.
	(setq purify-flag nil)
	(setq load-path (list dir
			      (expand-file-name "emacs-lisp" dir)
			      (expand-file-name "language" dir)
			      (expand-file-name "international" dir)
			      (expand-file-name "textmodes" dir)))))

So during bootstrap, purify-flag is nil, and the error never happens.

So now the question is, why doesn't this work for Cygwin?  Doesn't
Cygwin support dumping or something? is purify-flag indeed nil during
bootstrap of the Cygwin port? or maybe some of your investigations
were not in the bootstrap context, so purify-flag was non-nil?

And another puzzle: if autoloading define-minor-mode aborts the Cygwin
bootstrap, why doesn't that happen earlier, in help.el, for example,
which also uses define-minor-mode?

Finally, just to make sure we are not chasing a wild goose, could you
please see if the message about autoloading define-minor-mode is
indeed the reason for the abort?

What I wanted to say is that it looks like (what I understand was) the
indian.el problem -- some resource is slowly exhausted and so the
error manifests itself in some random place afterwards. First I get
bootstrap failure at ucs-tables, when I remove ucs-tables I get the
same failure at some next module, when I remove that new module --
another one failed. My point was that it looks like ucs-tables or
other failed modules have nothing to do with the reason of the error.

Probably it is some interaction with gdb? In my case obtain was called
during bootstrap hundreds of time and in your case it failed after
three.

I have not seen *any* error messages during bootstrap -- it just
silently failed.

That is probably so.  But I cannot reproduce anything like that on
Windows without Cygwin, so you will have to debug this on your machine
and tell here your findings.  That is the only practical way to debug
this.

I'm not sure.  As I explained in a follow-up message, the error
message happened because I didn't run temacs with the "bootstrap"
argument on the command line.

There should be no reason for it to call obtain so many times, and
moreover, it calls it with the same arguments again and again.

Perhaps try downgrading to the previous version of Cygwin--there might
be some bug in the latest version.

The silent failure is another puzzle: did it abort? did it exit with a
failure indication?  Perhaps putting a breakpoint on the lowest-level
exit routine you can will shed some light on this.

Anyway, thanks for working on this.

I have no doubt about it -- I currently use emacs which was built from
cvs on 2006-01-16 (before I upgraded cygwin) and the problems with
build starts to appear only *after* the last cygwin update.

I added yet another instrumentation:

/* Allocate memory from the heap.  */
__ptr_t
_malloc_internal (size)
     __malloc_size_t size;
{
+ static unsigned cnt = 0;
+ fprintf(stderr, " mi[%d %d", ++cnt, size);
[...]
  PROTECT_MALLOC_STATE (1);
+ fprintf(stderr, " %d]", result);
  return result;

The log is huge, but let see some interesting examples:

 mi[1 16 mi[2 4096 539860992 ] 539860992 ]  // so _malloc_internal can call itself
 mi[3 128 mi[4 4096 539860992 ] 539860992 ]
[...]
Loading language/czech (source)...
 mi[11497 16336
* not found (13), obtain more space: 327680
* obtain(547618816, 327680), heap = 539798432
* obtain() returns 547618816
* OK
 547618816] // _malloc_internal can call obtain but obtain does not call back
 mi[11498 12  539960624]
[...]
 mi[12090 528  547870720]
 mi[12091 528  547869696]
 mi[12092 528  mi[12093 4096 //_malloc_internal was called recursively
* not found (14), obtain more space: 327680
* obtain(548012032, 327680), heap = 539798432
 mi[12094 1024  mi[12095 4096 // and obtain calls _malloc_internal again!
* not found (15), obtain more space: 327680
* obtain(548012032, 327680), heap = 539798432
 mi[12096 1024  mi[12097 4096
* not found (16), obtain more space: 327680
[...]

So, from some point on obtain starts to call _malloc_internal back,
futhermore, gdb shows that malloc() from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll calls
malloc from gmalloc.c.

Then it's probably a good idea to post the information you found on
the Cygwin mailing list.  Perhaps they will be able to suggest
solutions or otherwise shed some light on this problem.

I made the following experiment: I installed cygwin 1.5.18-1 and now
 ./temacs.exe --batch --load loadup bootstrap
creates emacs.exe

BTW, I have not rebuild temacs because most of build tools are
not compatible with the old cygwin dll, e.g., rm produces an error

 The procedure entry point getline could not be located in the [DLL]
 cygwin1.dll

I reverted back to 19-4 and now temacs again fails with apparent
recursion (malloc() from cygwin1.dll calls malloc from temacs).

The problem is that I have no idea what to tell them: temacs fails
with DLL 1.5.19-4 but dumps emacs with DLL 1.5.18-1 is not a
reasonable bug report.

Let me put the question differently: what was changed between 18-1 and
19-4 in the DLL (note that .h files are irrelevant since I used temacs
built with 19-4).

Sorry, I can't make a lot out of this error report.  Please try to nail
down the problem somewhat further, for instance, by providing a minimal
testcase which allows to reproduce the problem with a minimum of
involved code.

Since this revolves around malloc, it might be worth to note that two
changes to malloc have been made in Cygwin between 1.5.18 and 1.5.19.
First, we switched from Doug Lea's malloc implementation version 2.8.0
to 2.8.3, second, due to a reworked mmap implementation, which uses
simple VirtualAlloc for private anonymous maps, we lowered the
DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD from 16 Megs to the usual default of 256K.

I get a bootstrap Error 255; value as variable is void:
blink-cursor-idle-timer. It might be commit e0ac099 since when I revert
that commit the error goes away and the build is successful.
