gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Peter J. <pet...@gm...>]

Dear list,

I've downloaded the latest gnuplot 4.5 CVS build from Tatsuro
Matsuoka's site ( http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/winbin/
).

The console executable gnuplot.exe displays a strange behavior:
instead on exiting, it hangs.
If I start it from the console then type "exit", it doesn't return to
the command line.
Even worse, it also hangs when I invoke it as "gnuplot.exe -V".
(That's how I noticed this: one of my applications that uses gnuplot
checks for its presence and up-to-date-ness with gnuplot -V, and
because of this, it appeared to hang on startup. And I spent a few
confused minutes trying to debug my application before realizing that
gnuplot's at fault.)

Tatsuro Matsuoka also noticed that console gnuplot has problems 
executing plotstyles.gnu (creating files). I don't see any of those 
problems here on my system - but then again my build is without libgd, 
pango/cairo etc. and my computers are running XP and Vista.

I cannot test his executables here since my virus scanner claims to find 
a trojan - but 41 scanners at virustotal.com disagree and don't find 
anything.

Have you, by any chance, tested his previous version (18th March)?

I didn't test with his previous build (I don't know where to get it).

However, I did test the current (03/23) build on a Vista system and it
didn't exhibit this problem (it exited normally). It starts slowly,
though: there is a 5-10 second delay at startup.

For what it's worth, I can no longer run the current Windows build
under linux+wine.   

gnuplot.exe hangs on entry, after printing 
  gnuplot changed the codepage of this console to 437 to match
  the graph window. Some characters might only display correctly
  if you change the font to a non-raster type.
I am dubious that setting the codepage to 437 is the right thing
to do under linux+wine (earlier builds seemed happy to accept
input from my UTF-8 environment), but I can't really test this
because it is hung.

wgnuplot.exe gives me a text window to type in, but if I try to plot
anything it exits with an error message   
   "This version of GLib requires NT-based Windows"
This message comes from libglib-2.0-0.dll

To add a further data point:

gnuplot.exe with linux+wine prints the gnuplot> prompt for me, and
allows to type in one command, but hangs after that. I don't know if
this is the same as you get.

wgnuplot.exe works (plotting is possible with wxt and windows terminals,
very little delay on startup and clean exit).

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

Confirmed.  Thank you for your report.

I have re-made windows binaries using the source at 2011-03-17 as a temporal treatment.
I will see what is wrong for gnuplot.exe with the changes on 2011-03-18.

Regards

Tatsuro

Yes. Same thing.
It does accept and executes commands in non-interactive mode, e.g.
    wine gnuplot.exe -e "plot sin(x)" -persist

Now works for me also, using a different installation of wine.

Now that Tatsuro has provided a built of the CVS state as of March 17th,
could somebody please confirm that the problems go away with
that version? As I can't reproduce anything here, it's like fishing in 
murky waters...

As the codepage switching is the only thing that specifically changed 
the behaviour of the console, I am going to remove that from CVS 
again.

This slow start up may be related to the windows help system or fontconfig.
Does it also start slowly if you try to start it a second time?

The executable in gp45-winbin.zip downloaded from 
   http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/winbin/
on 24 March  still contains the codepage-switching and still
hangs after the first carriage return on input.

So I don't think the executable that I found is the one from 17 March
that Tatsuro refers to.

It would be helpful if the windows build script would do something
equivalent to 
   head -1 ChangeLog | sed 's/ .*$//' > PATCHLEVEL

So that the date of the most recent entry in ChangeLog appears
in "show version".   I have that in my build script for linux,
but I don't know if that command works on windows.

- Windows Vista:
gnuplot.exe starts with a delay (always, not just the first time), but
then it executes commands and exits normally.

- Linux + wine:
gnuplot.exe starts with a slight delay (less than one second, but
noticeable), it accepts one command then hangs.
Non-interactive mode works (e.g. wine gnuplot.exe 'plot x' or wine
gnuplot.exe -V)

- Windows 7:
This is where it gets interesting! 
If I start gnuplot.exe interactively, plot something, then exit, then it
exits normally. However, if I don't plot anything, just do "sh var" or
"exit", it hangs!
Non-interactively, 'gnuplot.exe -e "plot x"' works and exits but
'gnuplot -V' doesn't.

This is all with Tatsuro's latest binary package which does have
2011/03/17 as its last Changelog entry.

Yes, there is a delay at every startup.

You have to run gnuplot.exe through "wineconsole" instead of "wine", see
http://old.nabble.com/gnuplot.exe-in-wine-td29878883.html

The "wineconsole cmd" is much more DOS box-like environment than "wine cmd" 
in an xterm.

(Oh yes, it has taken me a long time to figure this out.)

I think the build script should write the date of the last Changelog
entry right into gnuplot_date[] in version.c, regardless of the
platform. (It still says "September 2010", by the way...)

Hello

I have tested cvs binaries for windows provided by Prof. Kakuto

http://www.ring.gr.jp/pub/text/TeX/ptex-win32/w32/
gnuplot-45pl0w32.zip

The binaries are built by the MSVC complier.  The latest ChangeLog date is 2011-03-22.
Using this binary, exit problem seems not to occur for gnuplot.exe.

At the moment, I do not find the reason why the difference occur between mine and Kakuto's binaries.

Re: gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

Hello,

To exclude build problems with MinGW, I have done and uploaded a build 
of the current CVS version to
http://www.gnuplot.info/development/binaries/gp45-Mar25_2011-winbin-test.zip 


It is built with a fresh install of current MinGW and current stable 
releases of wxWidgets/cairo/pango. It's not a full release build, 
though, as most of the support files and the lua and gd terminals are 
missing. Also, plotstyles.gnu will fail with this version since libgd is 
missing. gnuplot-switch.exe is compiled with -DCONSOLE_SWITCH_CP,
gnuplot.exe without.

Again, on my XP system, I see none of the behaviour described earlier: 
immediate startup and exit and console gnuplot (both versions) works as 
expected (started with msys, cmd, "-V", w/ and without plots ...). I 
will try later on with Vista.

On thing, though: closing gnuplot*.exe via the "close"-button of the 
console seems to cause it to hang or crash. That is not the case for 
Tatsuro Matsuoka's build.

Re: gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello


I have built the binaries with the cvs source on 2011-03-26 on my win 7 PC.
(Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium sp1.)

../src/gnuplot.exe -e "winhelp=1" ../docs/plotstyles.gnu

set output out . 'figure_lines' . ext
                                     ^
cannot open file; output not changed
"../docs/plotstyles.gnu", line 21: util.c: No such file or directory

make hangs at this stage. 

As pointed out by Juh将。sz P将アter,
If I start gnuplot.exe interactively, plot something, then exit, then it
exits normally. However, if I don't plot anything, just do "sh var" or
"exit", it hangs!

I have tested
http://www.gnuplot.info/development/binaries/gp45-Mar25_2011-winbin-test.zip 

The situation is the same as that I have built today.
The gnuplot.exe and gnuplot-switch.exe caused the same behaviors.


Hmmm? Thus codepage modification is  not origin of exit fail on win 7 64 bit.

Re: gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

The exit fail also occurred at windows 7 starter 32 bit. (netbook)
Thus this problem seem to be specific windows 7.

I do not have any idea on this fail.

Re: gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

When I have checked out by  
cvs update -D '2011-03-21'

2011-03-20  Bastian Maerkisch  <bma...@we...>

	* src/win/wmenu.c (LoadMacros), src/win/wgnuplot.mnu ([Button]): Add
	icons to the text-window toolbar.

	* docs/windows/doc2html.c (process_line): Don't include '=' items in
	index. This	avoids duplicate entries which caused wgnuplot to stall 
	when an e.g. 'set term png; help "png"' was issued.

the above were included and no error happened on windows 7.

When I have checked out by  
cvs update -D '2011-03-22'

2011-03-20  Ethan A Merritt  <merritt@u.washington.edu>

	* src/util.c (equals): Test here for token index in range, rather than
	trusting all callers to get it right.

	* src/command.c src/parse.c: Token index range test is now redundant.

	* docs/gnuplot.doc: Document that ^D from an empty line acts as EOF.

the above were included and caused error on windows 7.

I will see in more details.

Regards

Tatsuro

Re: gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

Hmmmm

I cannot figure out what is happening
I have checked out the source by 
cvs update -D '2011-03-22'

and I have copied the  src/util.c, src/command.c and src/parse.c before change from the cvs
repository.

I have tried to build.

The build error occur and exit command make failure on gnuplot.exe on windows 7.
???????????????????????????

I cannot find the reason at the moment :-( .
However, at least codepage change is not origin of the error.

Regards

Tatsuro

Re: gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello


I have met unbelievable behaviors for the cvs source.
After I have checked out the cvs source cvs update -D '2011-03-21'.

And I have replaced the   src/util.c,  src/command.c, src/parse.c 
(and docs/gnuplot.doc) by the change

downloaded from 
http://gnuplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gnuplot/gnuplot/src/

Exit error did not happen.

Thus code change the above itself is not origin of exit error of gnuplot.exe on win 7.

Re: gnuplot.exe hangs instead of exiting on Windows 7

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

The cvs source of between that checked out by cvs update -D '2011-03-21' and that checked out cvs
update -D '2011-03-22' the following are change in addition to src/util.c,  src/command.c,
src/parse.c.

src/win/
wgnuplib.c
wgraph.c
winmain.c
wmenu.c
wpause.c
wtext.c

The diff between two are attached 

If the cvs source checked out at cvs update -D '2011-03-22', the above replaced those obtained by the
cvs update -D '2011-03-21', the exit error disappeared.

Regards

Tatsuro

These changes correspond these entries in ChangeLog:

2011-03-20  Bastian Maerkisch  <bma...@we...>

	* src/win/wgnuplib.c|h, src/win/wgraph.c, src/win/winmain.c, 
	src/win/wmenu.c, src/win/wpause.c, src/win/wtext.c: FAR pointers are
	no longer required.

	* src/win/winmain.c (WinExit): Explicitly close help window on exit.
	Fixes hangs of gnuplot when it is closed via the Windows taskbar 
	and help window	and graph window open.

The later might be the reason for hangs or crashes on exit - but not after
issuing a command. I also don't see why the changes should influence 
opening files. Going over the diff and the source again, I see no obvious 
suspect. 

Removing FAR should be innocent - it should be define'd empty anyway.
(And so is "far" in syscfg.h btw).

One thing which could be different between "cvs checkout" and downloading
via "viewcvs" are line endings. We should check that none of my commits
mixed Unix (LF) and Windows (CR/LF) line endings.

Indeed.
If I comment out like below,

#ifdef WITH_HTML_HELP
//        HtmlHelp(NULL, NULL, HH_CLOSE_ALL, (DWORD_PTR)NULL);
#else

the exit error did not occur on windows 7.

Maybe for windows 7, newer version HTML HELP workshop is required.

I have downloaded windows sdk for windows 7.  I found the htmlhelp.h and Htmlhelp.Lib in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Include and C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib,
respectively.

I have tried to use htmlhelp.h and Htmlhelp.Lib in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1 but
they cannot be used as they are for current gnuplot cvs code on mingw.

As a reference I show the diff of htmlhelp.h between in the html help workshop and sdk :

At the initial prompt
I carried out plot and close graph windows

After that
