Hello World? –karlphillip Mar 29 '12 at 20:24 1 no.why is it important?i have a makefile for couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap windows 10 it .and it works ok on win7. –Yakov Mar 29 '12 at 20:29 If it wasn't important I wouldn't be asking it. I'm trying to determine if this is a random problem, or if it's something that happens consistently, and if its something that is reproducible with the smallest possible application. Are you telling me that compiling a Hello World application doesn't trigger this error? Have you tested this? –karlphillip Mar 29 '12 at 20:38 1 it doesnt work for any app.also restart doesnt help –Yakov Mar 29 '12 at 21:07 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 7 down vote accepted Reboot your system: Most users complaining about this problem reported it goes away after a reboot. If you are using Windows 7, check the message from BerndP in this thread, it has some tips related to adjusting Virtual Memory settings on Windows. Might be some software interfering with Cygwin: This post brings an interesting discussion of random problems with Cygwin. The BLODA list presents a list of applications that are known to cause strange failures and problems in Cygwin. EDIT: Windows 8 has not been officially released, so don't expect Cygwin to work on it. Cygwin can be expected to run on all modern 32 bit versions of Windows This includes, as of the time of writing this, Windows 2
heap allocation problem From: Cliff Hones
Win32 Error 487 Cygwin
been left idle at its prompt for several hours (eg overnight), and occurs on the couldn't commit memory for cygwin heap, win32 error 0 first command causing an executable to be run. It is independent of the command (as far as I can tell - it has rebaseimage (msys-1.0.dll) failed with last error = 2 happened with ls, cat, make, ...). Repeating the command invariably succeeds, and I am then not troubled again until after another lengthy idle period. cliff@CliffW ~ $ ls 6 [main] ?

Further, the problem comes and goes https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00799.html suggesting that it is dependent on the resource state of the Windows OS (and that it could be rather tricky to debug). It is still present after upgrading to 1.5.19-2. Searching the mailing list I found several similar reports, but none mentioning the error occuring on the first invocation of the day. I have not tried changing the registry heap_chunk_in_mb setting, which is mentioned in some reports (I currently have no such key set) as I'm not convinced it's relevant here. My setup is W2000+SP4+current updates. The bash window is a standard cmd window (and CYGWIN env variable is not set). cygcheck output attached. As I said above, this isn't a great concern to me - this isn't a cry for help - but I am willing to help track the problem down if that is thought useful (and I would appreciate useful suggestions of how best to do this). Looking at the Cygwin source, I see that the error is caused by Windows VirtualAlloc responding with Invalid Address error, yet the area being allocated (base 480000, top 4a0000, size 128MB) looks ok to me. Am I right in thinking this means Windows thinks (part of) this area is already in use in the forkee? Presumably not a rebase problem, as it is transitory, so any ideas as to what can make Windows do this? -- Cliff Cygwin

It's Cygwin code failing to allocate a ~5 MB large chunk of memory for its heap at this fixed address 0x68570000, while only a hole ~2.5 MB large was apparently available there. The relevant code can be seen inmsysgit source. Resolution Bothcurrent Cygwinand thenew version of MSYS- MSYS2 - already have different logic in place, which is hopefully more robust. It's only old versions of Git for Windows which have been still built using the old broken MSYS system. Resolution: InstallGit for Windows 2- it is built with the new,properly maintained MSYS2and also has many new features, plenty of bug fixes and so on. There is also a 64-bit version available which would lower the chance of address space clashes considerably even if this problem was not fixed. On ourSupported Platformswe outline the Git versions that should work well with your environment. Was this helpful? Yes No Thanks for your feedback! Why was this unhelpful?
