"Maximum number of clients reached"

[CyberShadow]

To reproduce:

1. Start clipcatd
2. Run: while true ; do clipcatctl insert "$RANDOM" ; done

Outcome: after a while, clipcat stops inserting new entries.

If clipcatd is run with --no-daemon, it starts printing "Maximum number of clients reached" (with no newline) instead of e.g. INFO Clipboard ["21425"].

Can confirm.

But that's weird. When i grep on my system (with all deps of clipcat in the cargo repo), I get no results. It's nowhere in the clipcat codebase. Probably some dependency? Then again, I should've found it.

It seems to recover when I stop spamming it. Perhaps something with clipcat's gRPC implementation, which defaults to say 32 max concurrent clients?

It's coming from the X server. The error message might be in a C library that clipcat is linking against, such as xlib / libxcb.

Why would clipcatd initiate multiple connections to X? Form my experience (not much) clipcatd creates a connection at start, and keeps it.

Please try to use a newer version of clipcat. https://github.com/xrelkd/clipcat/releases/latest The problem might be solved by the new implementation.
