- For programs which does not work properly with pseudo console,
disable_pcon in environment CYGWIN is introduced. If disable_pcon
is set, pseudo console support is disabled.
- For programs compiled with -mwindows option, reopening slave is
needed in push_to_pcon_screenbuffer(), however, it was not at
appropriate place. This causes the problem reported in
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-01/msg00161.html. This
patch fixes the issue.
- Though this rarely happens, sometimes the first printing of non-
cygwin process does not displayed correctly. To fix this issue,
the code for waiting for forwarding by master_fwd_thread is revised.
- After commit e1a0775dc0545b5f9c81b09a327fc110c538b7b4, the problem
reported in https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-01/msg00093.html
occurs. For Gnu scren and tmux, calling FreeConsole() on pty close
is necessary. However, if FreeConsole() is called, cygwin setup
with '-h' option does not work. Therefore, the commit
e1a0775dc0545b5f9c81b09a327fc110c538b7b4 delayed closing pty.
This is the cause of the problem above. Now, instead of delaying
pty close, FreeConsole() is not called if the process is non cygwin
processes such as cygwin setup.
- Special function keys such as arrow keys or function keys do not
work in ConEmu with cygwin-connector after commit
6a06c6bc8f8492ea09aa3ae180fe94e4ac265611. This patch fixes the
issue.
- PTY code which support pseudo console has a problem that causes
handle leaks. Four of these are bug in pty code, and the other
one seems to be a bug of Windows10. ClosePseudoConsole() fails
to close one internal handle. This patch fixes the issue.
- If two PTYs are opened in the same process and the first one
is closed, the helper process for the first PTY remains running.
This patch fixes the issue.
- Even with commit fe512b2b12a2cea8393d14f038dc3914b1bf3f60, pty
still has a problem in ESC[?3h and ESC[?3l handling if invalid
sequence such as ESC[?$ is sent. This patch fixes the issue.
- Pseudo console clears console screen buffer if ESC[?3h or ESC[?3l
is sent. However, xterm/vt100 does not clear screen. This cause
mismatch between real screen and console screen buffer. Therefore,
this patch triggers redraw screen in that situation so that the
synchronization is done on the next execution of native app.
This solves the problem reported in:
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2019-q4/msg00116.html
- Previously, pty cleared screen at startup for synchronization
between the real screen and console screen buffer for pseudo
console. With this patch, instead of clearing screen, the screen
is redrawn when the first native program is executed after pty
is created. In other words, synchronization is deferred until
the native app is executed. Moreover, this realizes excluding
$TERM dependent code.
- The autoload feature is used rather than GetModuleHandle(),
GetProcAddress() for CreatePseudoConsole(), ResizePseudoConsole()
and ClosePseudoConsole().
- Since calling system __loadlocale() caused execution error,
PTY used its own NLS function. The cause of the error has been
found, the corresponding code has been rewritten using system
function.
- Previously, input and output pipes were switched together between
the traditional pty and the pseudo console. However, for example,
if stdin is redirected to another device, it is better to leave
input pipe traditional pty side even for non-cygwin program. This
patch realizes such behaviour.
- If screen alternated while pseudo console switching, it sometimes
failed. This might happen when the output of the non-cygwin program
is piped to less. This patch fixes this issue.
- When the I/O pipe is switched to the pseudo console side, the
behaviour of Ctrl-C was unstable. This rarely happens, however,
for example, shell sometimes crashes by Ctrl-C in that situation.
Furthermore, Ctrl-C was ignored if output of non-cygwin program
is redirected to pipe. This patch fixes these issues.
- Forcibly attach to pseudo console in advance so that the error
messages by system_printf() are displayed to screen reliably.
This is needed when stdout is redirected to another pty. In this
case, process has two ptys opened. However, process can attach
to only one console. So it is necessary to change console attached.
- select() did not work correctly when both read and except are
polled simultaneously for the same fd and the r/w pipe is switched
to pseudo console side. This patch fixes this isseu.
- Pseudo console support introduced by commit
169d65a5774acc76ce3f3feeedcbae7405aa9b57 shows garbage ^[[H^[[J in
some of emacs screens. These screens do not handle ANSI escape
sequences. Therefore, clear screen is disabled on these screens.
- API hook used for pseudo console support causes slow down.
This patch limits API hook to only program which is linked
with the corresponding APIs. Normal cygwin program is not
linked with such APIs (such as WriteFile, etc...) directly,
therefore, no slow down occurs. However, console access by
cygwin.dll itself cannot switch the r/w pipe to pseudo console
side. Therefore, the code to switch it forcely to pseudo
console side is added to smallprint.cc and strace.cc.
- Pseudo console support introduced by commit
169d65a5774acc76ce3f3feeedcbae7405aa9b57 has some bugs which
cause mismatch between state variables and real pseudo console
state regarding console attaching and r/w pipe switching. This
patch fixes this issue by redesigning the state management.
- PTY uses Win32 API hook for pseudo console suppot. The function
hook_api() is used for this purpose and defined in fhandler_tty.cc
previously. This patch moves it into hookapi.cc.
- Support pseudo console in PTY. Pseudo console is a new feature
in Windows 10 1809, which provides console APIs on virtual
terminal. With this patch, native console applications can work
in PTYs such as mintty, ssh, gnu screen or tmux.
This code is where the AIO implementation is wired into existing Cygwin
mechanisms for file and device I/O: the fhandler* functions. It makes
use of an existing internal routine prw_open to supply a "shadow fd"
that permits asynchronous operations on a file the user app accesses
via its own fd. This allows AIO to read or write at arbitrary locations
within a file without disturbing the app's file pointer. (This was
already the case with normal pread|pwrite; we're just adding "async"
to the mix.)
This new function returns the name of the calling thread; works for both
cygthreads and pthreads. All calls to cygthread::name(/*void*/) replaced
by calls to mythreadname(/*void*/).
