EXIT_SIGNAL bit and reorganizes exit value for backwards cygwin handling.
(handle_exceptions): Call signal_exit. Set "core dumped" bit.
(sig_handle): Call signal_exit. Set "core dumped" bit appropriately.
(_addenv): Remove check_null_empty_path from here.
(putenv): Call check_nullempty_path.
(setenv): Call check_nullempty_path for name as well here.
Don't report an error if value is empty string.
(environ_init): Revert usage of newp.
Change type to enum. Change storage class to static. Adjust comments.
(read_etc_passwd): Set passwd_state to different values when loaded
from file in contrast to being emulated.
(search_for): Return default passwd entry if passwd is emulated or
it's a request for the current user. Otherwise return NULL.
pseudo randomness.
* fhandler_random.cc: Rearrange. Use pseudo random number generator
as entropy source if system entropy isn't available and if device is
used as /dev/urandom. Allow initializing device by calling write().
to be set when variable blocksize mode is on.
* fhandler_raw.cc: Eliminate `\n' from trace output.
(clear): Set `varblkop' to 0.
(dup): Copy varblkop as well.
(writebuf): Care for variable blocksize.
(open): Ditto.
(raw_read): Ditto.
(raw_write): Ditto.
* fhandler_tape.cc (open): Ditto.
(ioctl): Ditto. Some cleanups.
* winsup.h: Add new macros sys_wcstombs and sys_mbstowcs.
* syscalls.cc (_link): Replace calls to mbstowcs by call to
sys_mbstowcs.
* uinfo.cc (internal_getlogin): Replace calls to wcstombs and
mbstowcs by calls to sys_wcstombs and sys_mbstowcs. Replace
usage of constants by meaningful defines. Use result of
GetSystemDirectory for HOMEPATH and HOMEDRIVE as a last resort.
* syscalls.cc (chroot): Set new root for process.
* path.cc (getcwd_inner): Add parameter to force use of
new root from chroot() call.
(ischrootpath): New macro.
(normalize_posix_path): Care for changed root dir.
(normalize_win32_path): Ditto.
(getcwd_inner): Ditto.
(chdir): Eliminate trailing path component consisting
entirely of dots.
* fork.cc (fork): Copy pinfo members regarding chroot().
* spawn.cc (_spawnve): Ditto.
* dir.cc (opendir): Don't use computed win32 path if
chroot() took place.
for second argument.
* path.h: Generalize SYMLINK_* constants to PC_*.
(path_conv): Create a new method. Fold third argument into second.
* dll_init.cc (dll_list::alloc): Try harder to find space to allocate dll
struct.
(dll_dllcrt0): Don't check sanity if we've already called dll_crt0.
* path.cc (path_conv::check): Don't check for a null or empty path unless
specifically told with a flag setting.
(check_null_empty_path): New function, adapted from macro.
* syscalls.cc (_rename): Use already-determined file attributes rather than
checking again.
* lib/cygwin/cygwin_attach.dll.c (cygwin_attach_dll): Use a static per_process
structure since this is apparently supposed to be zeroed.
* lib/cygwin_crt0.c (cygwin_crt0): Zero per_process structure sent to older
DLLs.
(environ_init): Explicitly initialize __cygwin_environ.
(cur_environ): New function. Detects when user has updated their environment.
* exec.cc: Use 'environ' define throughout rather than __cygwin_environ.
* spawn.cc: Ditto.
* winsup.h: Declare cur_environ, main_environ, environ.
