Hi David, Duy, If you need to re-roll your 'dt/index-helper' branch, could you please consider squashing these patches into the relevant patch (equivalent to commit 12909da4 ("index-helper: new daemon for caching index and related stuff", 06-04-2016)). The above commit causes the cygwin build to throw a warning (many times) about the redefinition of the UNIX_PATH_MAX macro, viz: CC credential-store.o In file included from cache.h:4:0, from credential-store.c:1: git-compat-util.h:1060:0: warning: "UNIX_PATH_MAX" redefined #define UNIX_PATH_MAX 92 ^ In file included from git-compat-util.h:212:0, from cache.h:4, from credential-store.c:1: /usr/include/sys/un.h:18:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition #define UNIX_PATH_MAX 108 ^ Which is quite easy to confirm: $ find /usr/include -iname '*.h' | xargs grep -n UNIX_PATH_MAX /usr/include/sys/un.h:18:#define UNIX_PATH_MAX 108 /usr/include/sys/un.h:22: char sun_path[UNIX_PATH_MAX]; /* 108 bytes of socket address */ $ gcc -dD -E git-compat-util.h 2>/dev/null | grep -n 'un\.h' 8716:# 1 "/usr/include/sys/un.h" 1 3 4 8717:# 12 "/usr/include/sys/un.h" 3 4 $ gcc -dD -E git-compat-util.h 2>/dev/null | grep -n 'UNIX_PATH_MAX' 8724:#define UNIX_PATH_MAX 108 32675:#define UNIX_PATH_MAX 92 $ So, a simple fix would look like: diff --git a/git-compat-util.h b/git-compat-util.h index 0e35c13..6d65132 100644 --- a/git-compat-util.h +++ b/git-compat-util.h @@ -1043,7 +1043,7 @@ struct tm *git_gmtime_r(const time_t *, struct tm *); #define getc_unlocked(fh) getc(fh) #endif -#ifdef __linux__ +#if defined(__linux__) || defined(__CYGWIN__) #define UNIX_PATH_MAX 108 #elif defined(__APPLE__) || defined(BSD) #define UNIX_PATH_MAX 104 ... since you are allowed to redefine a macro to the same token sequence (modulo some strange whitespace rules). However, assuming the <sys/un.h> header is defining the UNIX_PATH_MAX macro, why even try to #define it again. So, maybe put an #ifndef UNIX_PATH_MAX ... #endif around the entire block. But then, why on earth are you doing this at all? Let's look on linux: $ find /usr/include -iname '*.h' | xargs grep -n UNIX_PATH_MAX /usr/include/valgrind/vki/vki-linux.h:754:#define VKI_UNIX_PATH_MAX 108 /usr/include/valgrind/vki/vki-linux.h:758: char sun_path[VKI_UNIX_PATH_MAX]; /* pathname */ /usr/include/linux/un.h:6:#define UNIX_PATH_MAX 108 /usr/include/linux/un.h:10: char sun_path[UNIX_PATH_MAX]; /* pathname */ $ gcc -dD -E git-compat-util.h | grep -n 'un\.h' 14119:# 1 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/un.h" 1 3 4 14120:# 19 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/un.h" 3 4 $ gcc -dD -E git-compat-util.h | grep -n 'UNIX_PATH_MAX' 36788:#define UNIX_PATH_MAX 108 $ Ah, interesting, ... despite having a header that does indeed define the UNIX_PATH_MAX macro, the compiler is not using that header, but another one which doesn't. Well, blow me down. ;-) So, the approach taken by patch #1 is to forget about UNIX_PATH_MAX and simply use sizeof(address.sun_path) instead! The second and third patches are simply 'mild suggestions' for other minor issues I noticed while looking into these warnings.
