I noticed that cygwin clipboard is not compatible
between 32bit and 64bit cygwin.
If I run 'echo AAAAAAAA > /dev/clipboard' in 32bit cygwin,
and run 'cat /dev/clipboard' in 64bit cygwin, this result in
cat: /dev/clipboard: Bad address
This is because the structure
typedef struct
{
timestruc_t timestamp;
size_t len;
char data[1];
} cygcb_t;
defined in fhandler_clipboard.cc has different size.
Is this the known issue?
I doubt anybody has ever tried what you did.
I have and it failed; I just didn't find it important enough to report
it here... Thanks for the plan to fix it.
I have been testing getclip and putclip between 32- and 64-bit
environments, but neglected to test Cygwin-internal clipboard format
that prepends cygcb_t to the user-supplied data.
As we're at it, what's the purpose of a cygwin-internal clipboard format
at all?
speed?
Maybe I'm not understanding the question, but I put a question to this
list ~3 years ago about right-click/paste into a mintty window being
**really** slow and the answer was to use getclip:
$ time d2u < /dev/clipboard > hosts-3.txt
real 0m11.372s
user 0m3.749s
sys 0m6.984s
$ time cat /dev/clipboard | tr -d '\r' > hosts-2.txt
real 0m4.405s
user 0m0.124s
sys 0m3.577s
$ time getclip -u > hosts.txt
real 0m0.734s
user 0m0.031s
sys 0m0.031s
I'm not so worried about speed, except where that stops clipboard
contents being updated quickly for consistency, but I ended up
explicitly using /dev/clipboard under Cygwin for consistent
interoperation with gvim and lxterminal under Linux VMs and gvim and
mintty in Cygwin.
It would be good to test any changes across systems, or I could do so if
the developer(s? - Mark?) don't run the environments to do so.
