The '-u' or '-d' option of getclip does not seem to work properly under xterm.
How to reproduce:
1) Open an xterm
2) Select a simple piece of text (with no line ending)
3) getclip -u
4) Observe 'Segmentation fault(core dumped)'

If step 2 is replaced by ‘printf  | putclip', no error.
If step 3 is replaced by ‘getclip’, no error.

I can’t tell whether this is new or not.


It appears to be old.  An xterm selection is placed on the Windows clipboard in 
CF_UNICODETEXT format.  'getclip' can deal with this, 'getclip -u' and 'getclip 
-d' cannot; they always request CF_TEXT (i.e., ANSI) format and assume they get 
a buffer of data.  But the formats don't match and there's no data supplied.  
That's why the segfault occurs.


Odd... I think that Windows should convert CF_UNICODETEXT to CF_TEXT if needed

See 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/dataxchg/clipboard-formats#synthesized-clipboard-formats 


I did notice that doc when I was updating getclip and putclip.  I wondered why 
that conversion didn't seem to be happening in the testcases and whether that was 
a Windows change over time.  I had no answer.


What surprised me about the segfault was that GetClipboardData(CF_TEXT) was 
returning zero, the error indication, but a subsequent GetLastError() returned 
zero as well, so no specific error.

This seems to be a problem of xorg-server.

SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, NULL) calls in xorg-server disturb the
conversion from CF_UNICODETEXT to CF_TEXT.  I confirmed that the
default conversion gets working if the following patch is applied
to xorg-server.

However, since getclip does not support charset conversion for
CF_TEXT, non-ascii string will be garbled if getclip -u/-d is
used. This is the problem of cygutils side and also occurs
when copying from mintty or Windows apps.

It could convert to UNICODE, but the reverse would be lossy.

I've committed a patch to the cygutils git repository that fixes the segfault:
https://cygwin.com/git/?p=cygwin-apps/cygutils.git;a=commit;h=3e94e050af7ad4ac84d12c18e9408e4c4f34cb56

The fix will be part of an upcoming build of cygutils, 1.4.16-9, hopefully in the 
next few days.  Beyond that, the limitation in formats with "-u" and "-d" will be 
relaxed later on.

Should not SEGV even if there is nothing to paste!

Those utilities do not have access to the X Window select buffer, only 
the X window copy buffer is copied to the Windows clipboard 
/dev/clipboard, so you may have to *COPY* the selected text to the 
clipboard, however that is done from xterm, perhaps C-S-v or using 
command xclip -sel c, before you can paste it.

One small thing I noticed is that time stamp of /dev/clipboard

1) Run 'echo A | putclip' in 32bit cygwin
2) Run 'ls -l /dev/clipboard' in 64bit cygwin

I have tested the 1.4.16-8 (Test) and confirmed the following cases
work as expected.

1) Charset conversion under locale other than UTF-8.
2) putclip error.
3) 32-bit and 64-bit inter-operability.


I was trying to check changes, and clipboard handling, but the 
contents of the source packages is identical; files are from 2017‽


Yes, an artifact of how Charles (original author) set up package 
builds. One has to do a 'cygport cygutils.cygport prep' step to apply 
patches to get the most up-to-date source.


$ cygport cygutils.cygport get prep #   [nit]

it's also checked in to cygwin-apps:

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygutils 1.4.16-8 (Test)

2021-11-03 Thread Mark Geisert
The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* cygutils-1.4.16-8
* cygutils-extra-1.4.16-8
* cygutils-x11-1.4.16-8

This update fixes a couple issues with getclip and putclip, namely:
1) Mistakenly assuming charset is always UTF-8,
2) Opening and closing the clipboard multiple times (putclip only),
   sometimes causing ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
Thanks to Takashi Yano for bug reports with testcases, and especially
the patches!

This update also provides a new feature: robust copy/paste between
32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin environments, provided both are running
3.3.0 (Test) or higher.

NB. Since this is a Test release, you'll have to specifically select
this version from the setup*.exe Version dropdown to install it.  If
there are no issues reported, in a couple weeks this version will be
promoted for automatic updating on your system.
Cheers,

..mark
