Re: 1.7.0-48: [BUG] Passing characters above 128 from bash command line


PS. In case you haven't noticed, copyright.txt is not a long file. It consists of a single byte, 0xA9.

I don't think it's the same bug because if I replace copyright.txt with a single printable character (eg. c), then it works.

Hi Cygwin 1.7 developers,

I think I've encountered bug in cygwin 1.7.0-48 on WinXP 32-bit. It seems that passing a character on the command line (from either ash.exe or bash.exe) that is greater than 127 to a native win32 process results in arguments being truncated.

Hopefully you can reproduce and fix. Steps to reproduce outlined below.

$ cat bug.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
        printf("%d: %s\n", i, argv[i]);
    return 0;
}

$ xxd copyright.txt
0000000: a9                                       .

$ $TOOLROOT/bin/cl -I$TOOLROOT/include bug.c /link /libpath:$TOOLROOT/lib /libpath:$TOOLROOT/PlatformSDK/lib

/out:bug.exe
/libpath:e:/msdev7/vc7/lib
/libpath:e:/msdev7/vc7/PlatformSDK/lib
bug.obj

$ ./bug "before `cat copyright.txt` after"
0: E:\cygwin1.7\tmp\bug.exe
1: before

Notice that for argument 1, we never see the contents of copyright.txt and the text after it, "after" is never passed to the win32 native application.

This sounds allot like this report to me:

No?
