[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] gdigrab: Allow capturing a window by its handle

[Lena via ffmpeg-devel]

x11grab can capture windows by their ID, but gdigrab can only capture 
windows by their names, internally calling FindWindowW to lookup its handle.

This patch simply allows the user to specify a window handle directly.

This should fail in case the parsing failed, for this you can check
the second argument (see examples in the code).

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] gdigrab: Allow capturing a window by its handle

[Lena via ffmpeg-devel]

Added the change to the documentation and added error checking on `strtol`, according to the stdlib documentation.

The documentation for `strtol` says that on error, 0 is returned. This makes it impossible to specify a window handle of 0 (the whole desktop), but that case is already covered by the "desktop" input filename, so it should be fine.


x11grab can capture windows by their ID, but gdigrab can only capture windows by their names, internally calling FindWindowW to lookup its handle.

The correct way to test for error in strtol is to check the endptr.

But just use a single sscanf() and %n to see if it reached the end of
the string.

...and test for overflow errors in errno.m (which shall have been zeroed beforehand). AFAIK, you need to do both if you want strict error detection.

Don't some distros forbid the use of the n specifier for (debatable) "security reasons"? Or is that only for formatting, and not in scanning?

Or we can consider that 30064771114 is just another valid way if writing
42 = 042 = 0x2a. It would be better to check, but it is less critical
than checking for garbage at the and, which itself is less critical than
checking that the number is entirely absent.

> Don't some distros forbid the use of the n specifier for (debatable)

First time I ear of that. We use %n in quite a few places — not only
code by me — and we did not have a problem.

If there is a real security consideration about %n, I would like a
pointer to the explanations; but I strongly doubt there are, it is just
another conversion specifier with all the usual caveats. If not, and
there are distros who forbid it for no valid reason, then I say to hell
with them.

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v3] gdigrab: Allow capturing a window by its handle

[Lena via ffmpeg-devel]

Updated the wording of the documentation, and added error checking for strtol.

I looked at how other parts of the codebase check for errors on strtol and implemented it that way (iec61883, filter_units_bsf, etc).

As for checking if the string value is larger/smaller than a long, i don't think there's a need, as the documentation says it'd just get set to LONG_MIN/LONG_MAX and fail anyway.

That's completely arbitrary, TBH. Both cases are syntax errors, and there are no particular reasons to tolerate one but not the other. And even if it constitued a sensible distinction, that's simply not how strtoul() handles overflow: it returns ULONG_MAX, not a wrapped-around value.

In this case, both error cases are strong signs of a typing error or corruption.

Here you can provide some context:
"Invalid window handle '%s', must be an valid integer.", name

Looks good otherwise, thanks.

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v4] gdigrab: Allow capturing a window by its handle

[Lena via ffmpeg-devel]

Added more context in the error message and did a final test that it all works.

Thanks for the smooth patch submission process!


x11grab can capture windows by their ID, but gdigrab can only capture windows by their names, internally calling FindWindowW to lookup its handle.

This patch simply allows the user to specify a window handle directly.
