Hi,

I've got a problem with DLL generated by cygwin (I'm working with Eclipse
and I suppose this is enough to ask this question here :-)

It looks that DLL that was produced by cygwin causes crash of the
application that tries to use it: for example, I've got plugin for Total
Commander that can show DLL info - it crashes when I try to see that info.

Also, I'm unable to use this DLL in the application that this DLL was
developed for: it also crashes. Note that there is no warning messages
that Windows shows for crashed apps. Nothing. Application just disappears!

But! When debugging this app with Eclipse I could see some segmentation
fault.

DLL was produced by the following command:
g++ -L../xmod/src/Debug/ -shared -ocppactor.dll
utf.win32.cygwin.win32/Allocable.o utf.win32.cygwin.win32/ActorMain.o
utf.win32.cygwin.win32/TestActor.o -lxmod

Can anybody help me?

Thank you,
Dmitry

BTW, if I produce DLL from the same sources by MSVC compiler - everything
works fine...

Well, I've found the workaround. Maybe it will be usefull for someone too..

Just use -mno_cygwin option in linker!

Dependency walker from MSVC does not show cygwin1.dll anymore...

But I've got new problem related to debugging: look like GDB does not
support dynamically loadable DLLs. Neither Eclipse nor GDB (command-line)
is able to set the breakpoint.

I've even tried to use
>gdb <exe_that_will_load_my_dll>
(gdb)dll <my_dll>
(gdb)b <my_func>
Cannot access memory at address 0x100013c0

So, GDB does not load DLL into address space and I did not find a way to
force it to do this.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Dmitry

I remember some GDB-FAQ regarding that topic.
But I am not quite sure whether it exactly covers your problem.

Thanks. I just was inattentive when read it...

The right way to load DLL into process address space before program start
or for dynamically loaded DLLs is to use -readnow option:

dll-symbols <my_DLL> -readnow

To use it in Eclipse developer should use 'GDB command file' with this
command. (See debugger configuration).

Good to know.

Thanks,
