An issue with libX11?

[Angelo Graziosi <angelo dot graziosi at alice dot it>]

From another application I have an issue with libX11 which I can 
reproduce with the following STC,


$ cat getch_test.c
/*
  gcc getch_test.c -lX11 -o getch_test.out

  DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 ./getch_test.out
*/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
#include <X11/Xos.h>
#include <X11/Xatom.h>
#include <X11/keysym.h>

Display *dis;
Window win;

int fun()
{
  XEvent event;
  char c;

  printf("1\n");

  while(1)
  {
    printf("2\n");
    XNextEvent(dis, &event);

    printf("3\n");

    if (event.type == KeyPress)
    {
      c = (char) XLookupKeysym(&event.xkey, 0);
      return (int) c;
    }
  }
}

int main()
{
  dis = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
  win = XCreateSimpleWindow(dis, RootWindow(dis, 0), 1, 1, 500, 500,
                            0, BlackPixel (dis, 0), BlackPixel(dis, 0));

  XMapWindow(dis, win);
  XFlush(dis);

  printf("Press a key:\n");
  fun();

  /*Sleep 5 seconds before closing.*/
  //sleep(5);

  return (0);
}


Running it, one gets

$ DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 ./getch_test.out
Press a key:
1
2
HANGS

it does not print "3", so it seems it does not return from

  XNextEvent(dis, &event);


I am not an X11 expert, so it could be I am doing the wrong things but 
the same code runs fine on OSX+XQuartz and GCC-4.9.1.

For completeness, I start the Cygwin X server with a link on status bar 
(W7+Cygwin64) whose target is:

  C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote bash -l -c "rm -rf /tmp/.X*; XWin 
-multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error 2>/dev/null &"


Ciao,
  Angelo.
