Please Help!! Calling Socket function in a dll file (that is created using cygwin library), by a Microsoft Visual C++ program resulting in infinite loop

[kalasad mailu]

Thanks for your answer and it works.

I have one more question:

I read the following from the how-cygtls-works.txt

"If you load cygwin1.dll dynamically from a non-cygwin application, it is
  vital that the bottom CYGTLS_PADSIZE bytes of the stack are not in use
  before you call cygwin_dll_init()"


How do I make sure bottom CYGTLS_PADSIZE bytes of the stack are not in use
before you call cygwin_dll_init()"

I could not find any information at: winsup/testsuite/cygload
