Try Valgrind (it’s free, open-source): The Valgrind distribution currently includes six production-quality tools: a memory error detector, two thread error detectors, a cache and branch-prediction profiler, a call-graph generating cache profiler, and a heap profiler. It also includes two experimental tools: a heap/stack/global array overrun detector, and a SimPoint basic block vector generator. It runs … Read more

Please take a look here: RS-232 for Linux and Windows 1) Windows Serial Port Programming 2) Using the Serial Ports in Visual C++ 3) Serial Communication in Windows 1) You can use this with Windows (incl. MinGW) as well as Linux. Alternative you can only use the code as an example. 2) Step-by-step tutorial how … Read more
Right click in the upper left corner of the Git Bash window and choose “Options…”: Click “Text” and “Select”. Select an appropriate font size: Press OK and Save to keep the new settings.
You can’t do this. They have exported C++ classes from their dll, rather than C-functions. The difference is, c++ functions are always exported with names in a mangled form that is specific to a particular version of the compiler. Their dll is usable by msvc only in that form, and will probably not even work … Read more
Small update: Since the Git 2.x releases, Git for Windows is based off of MSYS2 and available in 32 and 64 bit binary form. It still is a fork, and not interchangeable with the real MSYS2. One thing you must understand: msysgit (the git you are using) is a fork of msys with added git … Read more
I happened to be looking at the same problem. GCC works fine with std::mutex under Linux. However, on Windows things seem to be worse. In the <mutex> header file shipped with MinGW GCC 4.7.2 (I believe you are using a MinGW GCC version too), I have found that the mutex class is defined under the … Read more
There’s some instructions for building clang on this page (hidden in the “Clang Development” part of the sidebar…). For MinGW you want the section called “On Unix-like Systems”. The only tricky part is step 5 which tells you how to set up the paths for the C++ standard library. These need to be added into … Read more
As you already found, you can use gcc-3 with -mno-cygwin. The other possibility is to install the 32-bit and/or 64-bit toolchains from the MinGW-w64 project, which have been packaged for Cygwin very recently and hence are available through setup.exe now. Don’t be put off by the rather confusing executable names: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc is the 32-bit compiler … Read more
It’s caused by Windows security settings. Open the folder’s Properties settings from the context menu. In the Security tab, click Edit, press Add… in the pop-up window and add your user to the list, check Full Control in the Allow column. Press OK twice to apply the changes.
