| 10 | <description lang="en" title="A tool for managing DLL address conflicts">
|
|---|
| 11 | <paragraph>rebase provides various utilities that can assist
|
|---|
| 12 | with the dreaded DLL initialization problem, whose primary
|
|---|
| 13 | symptom is error messages of the form: "sync_with_child:
|
|---|
| 14 | child state waiting for longjmp" or "fork_child:
|
|---|
| 15 | recreate_mmaps_after_fork_failed". This "rebase problem"
|
|---|
| 16 | is due to fork() failing to reload DLLs in the child at
|
|---|
| 17 | the same address as in the parent. This is caused by DLLs
|
|---|
| 18 | which have conflicting base addresses. The rebase tool and
|
|---|
| 19 | the associated rebaseall script allow to change those base
|
|---|
| 20 | addresses for every DLL in an MSYS installation, so that
|
|---|
| 21 | they hopefully do not conflict.
|
|---|
| 22 | </paragraph>
|
|---|
| 23 | <paragraph>The msys-rebase package also provides the peflags
|
|---|
| 24 | and peflagsall tools, which can be used to change certain
|
|---|
| 25 | settings in every executable and DLL in an MSYS installation.
|
|---|
| 26 | On Windows Vista and above, it can be used to enable the
|
|---|
| 27 | Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) setting, which is
|
|---|
| 28 | an alternate mechanism to address the "rebase problem". It
|
|---|
| 29 | can also be used to enable the Terminal Server Aware flag,
|
|---|
| 30 | which may be important on Windows Terminal Services and
|
|---|
| 31 | Windows Server operating systems.
