Re: [OT] Wine + Cygwin: `script -e` exit status forwarding randomly return zero for non zero child process


Dear folks, here is a few update:

This bug was originally found with MSYS2, but I've confirm it happens
on Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-5.1  2.2.1(0.289/5/3) 2015-08-20 11:40 i686
Cygwin) as well.
For convenient of compile&test I'm mostly debugging on MSYS2, which is
rebased above the below Cygwin commit:

commit 7f3efa3b65e50b35d4e9f895e625e0878edc196a
Author: Corinna Vinschen
Date:   Tue Aug 25 22:23:01 2015 +0200
winsup.h: Claim Windows 10 support

In theory the testing result should be similar enough to recent
Cygwin. Forgive me for not compiling Cygwin, I can do that again if
anyone ask.

Here is some update of debugging information:

I added a breakpoint in pinfo::maybe_set_exit_code_from_windows, and
started `script -e -c "exit 5"`, with my customer compiled script.exe
from util-linux.

script.exe hits the breakpoints twice in every debugging session. The
following statements are for the first hit point since I found
different status in the first hit point for different script.exe exit
status.

>From my test, whenever script.exe forwards the exit status correctly
(returns 5), oexitcode in pinfo::maybe_set_exit_code_from_windows is
set to 0x8000500; whenever script.exe forwards the exit status wrongly
(returns 0), oexitcode in pinfo::maybe_set_exit_code_from_windows is
set to 0x0.

Here is some debugging log

Regarding the functions in 0x7bc83d80:
No symbols here because of limitation of using gdb for windows on top
of Wine. this module is Wine's ntdll.dll. the address is
call_thread_func_wrapper+0xc in dlls/ntdll/sigail_i386.c, which is
part of normal way to start a thread in Wine.

Source code: https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-patched/blob/b4b0eb9f02aef47a0efaae0439aad30d1face1bf/dlls/ntdll/signal_i386.c#L2992

Anyone could provide some hints where did the variable self->exitcode
came from? I need to understand why it was 0x0 sometimes and was
0x8000500 the other times.

Thanks very much!
