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 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. So getclip and putclip will need fixing as well.
I will submit a Cygwin patch to fix /dev/clipboard usage and a similar patch to cygutils for the utilities.
I appreciate your help in uncovering and investigating bugs in clipboard support. Thanks & Regards, ..mark -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
