Cygwin's speclib doesn't handle dashes or dots. However, we are about to rename the output file name from `cygwin1.dll` to `msys-2.0.dll`. Let's preemptively fix up all the import libraries that would link against `msys_2_0.dll` to correctly link against `msys-2.0.dll` instead.

The new `winsymlinks` mode `deepcopy` (which is made the default) lets calls to `symlink()` create (deep) copies of the source file/directory. This is necessary because unlike Cygwin, MSYS2 does not try to be its own little ecosystem that lives its life separate from regular Win32 programs: the latter have _no idea_ about Cygwin-emulated symbolic links (i.e. system files whose contents start with `!<symlink>\xff\xfe` and the remainder consists of the NUL-terminated, UTF-16LE-encoded symlink target). To support Cygwin-style symlinks, the new mode `sysfile` is introduced. Co-authored-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
With MSys1, it was necessary to set the TERM variable to "msys". To allow for a smooth transition from MSys1 to MSys2, let's simply handle TERM=msys as if the user had not specified TERM at all and wanted us to use our preferred TERM value.
Strace is a Windows program so MSYS2 will convert all arguments and environment vars and that makes debugging msys2 software with strace very tricky.
Commit message for this code was: * strace.cc (create_child): Set CYGWIN=noglob when starting new process so that Cygwin will leave already-parsed the command line alonw." I can see no reason for it and it badly breaks the ability to use strace.exe to investigate calling a Cygwin program from a Windows program, for example: strace mingw32-make.exe .. where mingw32-make.exe finds sh.exe and uses it as the shell. The reason it badly breaks this use-case is because dcrt0.cc depends on globbing to happen to parse commandlines from Windows programs; irrespective of whether they contain any glob patterns or not. See quoted () comment: "This must have been run from a Windows shell, so preserve quotes for globify to play with later."
The biggest problem with strace spitting out `create_child: ...` despite being asked to be real quiet is that its output can very well interfere with scripts' operations. For example, when running any of Git for Windows' shell scripts with `GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS=/path/to/logfile` (which is sadly an often needed debugging technique while trying to address the many MSYS2 issues Git for Windows faces), any time the output of any command is redirected into a variable, it will include that `create_child: ...` line, wreaking havoc with Git's expectations. So let's just really be quiet when we're asked to be quiet. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
When converting `/c/` to `C:\`, the trailing slash is actually really necessary, as `C:` is not an absolute path. We must be very careful to do this only for root directories, though. If we kept the trailing slash also for, say, `/y/directory/`, we would run into the following issue: On FAT file systems, the normalized path is used to fake inode numbers. As a result, `Y:\directory\` and `Y:\directory` have different inode numbers!!! This would result in very non-obvious symptoms. Back when we were too careless about keeping the trailing slash, it was reported to the Git for Windows project that the `find` and `rm` commands can error out on FAT file systems with very confusing "No such file or directory" errors, for no good reason. During the original investigation, Vasil Minkov pointed out in git-for-windows/git#1497 (comment), that this bug had been fixed in Cygwin as early as 1997... and the bug was unfortunately reintroduced into early MSYS2 versions.

When calling `cygpath -u C:/msys64/` in an MSYS2 setup that was installed into `C:/msys64/`, the result should be `/`, not `//`. Let's ensure that we do not append another trailing slash if the converted path already ends in a slash. This fixes #112 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In theory this doesn't make a difference because posix_to_win32_path() is only called with rooted/absolute paths, but as pointed out in #103 PC_NOFULL will preserve the trailing slash of unix paths (for some reason). See "cygpath -m /bin/" (preserved) vs "cygpath -am /bin/" (dropped) One use case where we need to trailing slashes to be preserved is the GCC build system: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/6d82e0fea5f988e829912a/gcc/Makefile.in#L2314 The Makefile appends a slash to the prefixes and the C code doing relocation will treat the path as a directory if there is a trailing slash. See msys2/MINGW-packages#14173 for details. With this change all our MSYS2 path_conv tests pass again.
When calling windows native apps from MSYS2, the runtime tries to convert commandline arguments by a specific set of rules. This idea was inherited from the MSys/MinGW project (which is now seemingly stale, yet must be credited with championing this useful feature, see MinGW wiki https://web.archive.org/web/20201112005258/http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion). If the user does not want that behavior on a big scale, e.g. inside a Bash script, with the changes introduced in this commit, the user can now set the the environment variable `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` when calling native windows commands. This is a feature that has been introduced in Git for Windows via git-for-windows/msys2-runtime#11 and it predates support for the `MSYS2_ENV_CONV_EXCL` and `MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL` environment variables in the MSYS2 runtime; Many users find the simplicity of `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` appealing. So let's teach MSYS2 proper this simple trick that still allows using the sophisticated `MSYS2_*_CONV_EXCL` facilities but also offers a convenient catch-all "just don't convert anything" knob.

Otherwise if globbing is allowed and we get called from a Windows program, build_argv thinks we've been called from a Cygwin program.
…spec Reverts 25ba8f3. I can't figure out what the intention was. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough when everything breaks. This change means that input of: '"C:/test.exe SOME_VAR=\"literal quotes\""' becomes: 'C:/test.exe SOME_VAR="literal quotes"' instead of: 'C:/test.exe SOME_VAR=\literal quotes\' .. which is at least consistent with the result for: '"no_drive_or_colon SOME_VAR=\"literal quotes\""' The old result of course resulted in the quoted string being split into two arguments at the space which is clearly not intended. I *guess* backslashes in dos paths may have been the issue here? If so I don't care since we should not use them, ever, esp. not at the expense of sensible forward-slash-containing input.
Works very much like MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL. In fact it uses the same function, arg_heuristic_with_exclusions (). Also refactors parsing the env. variables to use new function, string_split_delimited (). The env. that is searched through is the merged (POSIX + Windows) one. It remains to be seen if this should be made an option or not. This feature was prompted because the R language (Windows exe) calls bash to run configure.win, which then calls back into R to read its config variables (LOCAL_SOFT) and when this happens, msys2-runtime converts R_ARCH from "/x64" to an absolute Windows path and appends it to another absolute path, R_HOME, forming an invalid path.
It is simply the negation of `disable_pcon`, i.e. `MSYS=enable_pcon` is equivalent to `MSYS=nodisable_pcon` (the former is slightly more intuitive than the latter) and likewise `MSYS=noenable_pcon` is equivalent to `MSYS=disable_pcon` (here, the latter is definitely more intuitive than the former). This is needed because we just demoted the pseudo console feature to be opt-in instead of opt-out, and it would be awkward to recommend to users to use "nodisable_pcon"... "nodisable" is not even a verb. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
We mount /usr/bin to /bin, but in a chroot this is broken and we have no /bin, so try to use the real path. chroot is used by pacman to run install scripts when called with --root and this broke programs in install scripts calling popen() (install-info from texinfo for example) There are more paths hardcoded to /bin in cygwin which might also be broken in this scenario, so this maybe should be extended to all of them.
It does not work at all. For example, `rpm -E %fedora` says that there should be version 33 of rpmsphere at https://github.com/rpmsphere/noarch/tree/master/r, but there is only version 32. Another thing that is broken: Cygwin now assumes that a recent mingw-w64-headers version is available, but Fedora apparently only offers v7.0.0, which is definitely too old to accommodate for the expectation of cygwin/cygwin@c1f7c4d1b6d7.

In the Cygwin project, it was decided that the command-line of Cygwin processes, as shown in the output of `wmic process list`, would suffer from being truncated to 32k (and is transmitted to the child process via a different mechanism, anyway), and therefore only the absolute path of the executable is shown by default. Users who would like to see the full command-line (even if it is truncated) are expected to set `CYGWIN=wincmdln` (or, in MSYS2's case, `MSYS=wincmdln`). Seeing as MSYS2 tries to integrate much better with the surrounding Win32 ecosystem than Cygwin, it makes sense to turn this on by default. Users who wish to suppress it can still set `MSYS=nowincmdln`. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In particular, we are interested in the address of the CtrlRoutine and the ExitProcess functions. Since kernel32.dll is loaded first thing, the addresses will be the same for all processes (matching the CPU architecture, of course). This will help us with emulating SIGINT properly (by not sending signals to *all* processes attached to the same Console, as GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent() would do).

This patch is heavily inspired by the Git for Windows' strategy in handling Ctrl+C. When a process is terminated via TerminateProcess(), it has no chance to do anything in the way of cleaning up. This is particularly noticeable when a lengthy Git for Windows process tries to update Git's index file and leaves behind an index.lock file. Git's idea is to remove the stale index.lock file in that case, using the signal and atexit handlers available in Linux. But those signal handlers never run. Note: this is not an issue for MSYS2 processes because MSYS2 emulates Unix' signal system accurately, both for the process sending the kill signal and the process receiving it. Win32 processes do not have such a signal handler, though, instead MSYS2 shuts them down via `TerminateProcess()`. For a while, Git for Windows tried to use a gentler method, described in the Dr Dobb's article "A Safer Alternative to TerminateProcess()" by Andrew Tucker (July 1, 1999), http://www.drdobbs.com/a-safer-alternative-to-terminateprocess/184416547 Essentially, we injected a new thread into the running process that does nothing else than running the ExitProcess() function. However, this was still not in line with the way CMD handles Ctrl+C: it gives processes a chance to do something upon Ctrl+C by calling SetConsoleCtrlHandler(), and ExitProcess() simply never calls that handler. So for a while we tried to handle SIGINT/SIGTERM by attaching to the console of the command to interrupt, and generating the very same event as CMD does via GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(). This method *still* was not correct, though, as it would interrupt *every* process attached to that Console, not just the process (and its children) that we wanted to signal. A symptom was that hitting Ctrl+C while `git log` was shown in the pager would interrupt *the pager*. The method we settled on is to emulate what GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent() does, but on a process by process basis: inject a remote thread and call the (private) function kernel32!CtrlRoutine. To obtain said function's address, we use the dbghelp API to generate a stack trace from a handler configured via SetConsoleCtrlHandler() and triggered via GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(). To avoid killing each and all processes attached to the same Console as the MSYS2 runtime, we modify the cygwin-console-helper to optionally print the address of kernel32!CtrlRoutine to stdout, and then spawn it with a new Console. Note that this also opens the door to handling 32-bit process from a 64-bit MSYS2 runtime and vice versa, by letting the MSYS2 runtime look for the cygwin-console-helper.exe of the "other architecture" in a specific place (we choose /usr/libexec/, as it seems to be the convention for helper .exe files that are not intended for public consumption). The 32-bit helper implicitly links to libgcc_s_dw2.dll and libwinpthread-1.dll, so to avoid cluttering /usr/libexec/, we look for the helped of the "other" architecture in the corresponding mingw32/ or mingw64/ subdirectory. Among other bugs, this strategy to handle Ctrl+C fixes the MSYS2 side of the bug where interrupting `git clone https://...` would send the spawned-off `git remote-https` process into the background instead of interrupting it, i.e. the clone would continue and its progress would be reported mercilessly to the console window without the user being able to do anything about it (short of firing up the task manager and killing the appropriate task manually). Note that this special-handling is only necessary when *MSYS2* handles the Ctrl+C event, e.g. when interrupting a process started from within MinTTY or any other non-cmd-based terminal emulator. If the process was started from within `cmd.exe`'s terminal window, child processes are already killed appropriately upon Ctrl+C, by `cmd.exe` itself. Also, we can't trust the processes to end it's subprocesses upon receiving Ctrl+C. For example, `pip.exe` from `python-pip` doesn't kill the python it lauches (it tries to but fails), and I noticed that in cmd it kills python also correctly, which mean we should kill all the process using `exit_process_tree`.

Before symlinking libg.a, we need the symlink source `libmsys-2.0.a`: in MSYS2, we copy by default (if we were creating Unix-style symlinks, the target would not have to exist before symlinking, but when copying we do need the source _right away_).

When calling a non-MSys2 binary, all of the environment is converted from POSIX to Win32, including the SHELL environment variable. In Git for Windows, for example, `SHELL=/usr/bin/bash` is converted to `SHELL=C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe` when calling the `git.exe` binary. This is appropriate because non-MSys2 binaries would not handle POSIX paths correctly. Under certain circumstances, however, `git.exe` calls an *MSys2* binary in turn, such as `git config --edit` calling `vim.exe` unless Git is configured to use another editor specifically. Now, when this "improved vi" calls shell commands, it uses that $SHELL variable *without quoting*, resulting in a nasty error: C:\Program: No such file or directory Many other programs behave in the same manner, assuming that $SHELL does not contain spaces and hence needs no quoting, unfortunately including some of Git's own scripts. Therefore let's make sure that $SHELL gets "posified" again when entering MSys2 programs. Earlier attempts by Git for Windows contributors claimed that adding `SHELL` to the `conv_envvars` array does not have the intended effect. These reports just missed that the `conv_start_chars` array (which makes the code more performant) needs to be adjusted, too. Note that we set the `immediate` flag to `true` so that the environment variable is set immediately by the MSys2 runtime, i.e. not only spawned processes will see the POSIX-ified `SHELL` variable, but the MSys2 runtime *itself*, too. This fixes git-for-windows/git#542, git-for-windows/git#498, and git-for-windows/git#468. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
MSYS2 recently introduced that hack where the ORIGINAL_PATH variable is set to the original PATH value in /etc/profile, unless previously set. In Git for Windows' default mode, that ORIGINAL_PATH value is the used to define the PATH variable explicitly. So far so good. The problem: when calling from inside an MSYS2 process (such as Bash) a MINGW executable (such as git.exe) that then calls another MSYS2 executable (such as bash.exe), that latter call will try to re-convert ORIGINAL_PATH after the previous call converted ORIGINAL_PATH from POSIX to Windows paths. And this conversion may very well fail, e.g. when the path list contains mixed semicolons and colons. So let's just *force* the MSYS2 runtime to handle ORIGINAL_PATH in the same way as the PATH variable (which conversion works, as we know).

We are currently trying to move our cygwin build environment closer to cygwin and some autotools/bash based build systems call "uname -s" to figure out the OS and in many cases only handle the cygwin case, so we have to patch them. With this instead of patching we can set MSYSTEM=CYGWIN and change uname output that way. The next step would be to always output CYGWIN in an msys env by default, but for now this allows us to get rid of all the patches without affecting users.
There is a difference between an empty value and an unset environment variable. We should not confuse both; If the user wants to unset an environment variable, they can certainly do so (unsetenv(3), or in the shell: 'unset ABC'). This fixes Git's t3301-notes.sh, which overrides environment variables with empty values. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
We just disabled the code that skips environment variables whose values are empty. However, this code was introduced a long time ago into Cygwin in d6b1ac7 (* environ.cc (build_env): Don't put an empty environment variable into the environment. Optimize use of "len". * errno.cc (ERROR_MORE_DATA): Translate to EMSGSIZE rather than EAGAIN., 2006-09-07), seemingly without any complaints. Meaning: There might very well be use cases out there where it makes sense to skip empty-valued environment variables. Therefore, it seems like a good idea to have a "knob" to turn it back on. With this commit, we introduce such a knob: by setting `noemptyenvvalues` the `MSYS` variable (or appending it if that variable is already set), users can tell the MSYS2 runtime to behave just like in the olden times.

After the update of msys2-w32api from v11.0.1 to current master (and soon to be v12) we get: winsup/cygwin/exceptions.cc:1736:33: error: '<anonymous>' may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] Ignore it like the rest. Fixes #214
It frequently leads to problems when trying, say, to call from MSYS2's
Bash into Cygwin's or Git for Windows', merely because sharing that data
is pretty finicky.
For example, using the MSYS2' Bash using the MSYS2 runtime version that
is current at time of writing, trying to call Cygwin's programs fails
in manners like this:
$ /c/cygwin64/bin/uname -r
0 [main] uname (9540) child_copy: cygheap read copy failed, 0x800000000..0x800010BE0, done 0, windows pid 9540, Win32 error 6
680 [main] uname 880 C:\cygwin64\bin\uname.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't create signal pipe, Win32 error 5
with the rather misleading exit code 127 (a code which is reserved to
indicate that a command was not found).
Let's just treat the MSYS2 runtime and the Cygwin runtime as completely
incompatible with one another, by virtue of using a different
magic constant than merely `CHILD_INFO_MAGIC`.
By using the msys2-runtime commit to modify that magic constant, we can
even spawn programs using a different MSYS2 runtime (such as Git for
Windows') because the commit serves as the tell-tale whether two MSYS2
runtime versions are compatible with each other. To support building in
the MSYS2-packages repository (where we do not check out the
`msys2-runtime` but instead check out Cygwin and apply patches on top),
let's accept a hard-coded commit hash as `./configure` option.
One consequence is that spawned MSYS processes using a different MSYS2
runtime will not be visible as such to the parent process, i.e. they
cannot share any resources such as pseudo terminals. But that's okay,
they are simply treated as if they were regular Win32 programs.
Note: We have to use a very rare form of encoding the brackets in the
`expr` calls: quadrigraphs (for a thorough explanation, see
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.70/html_node/Quadrigraphs.html#Quadrigraphs).
This is necessary because it is apparently impossible to encode brackets
in `configure.ac` files otherwise.
