<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. |
