- Closing attach_mutex and recreating it causes the race issue
between pty and console codes. With this patch, attach_mutex
is created only once in a process which opens pty, and never
closed in order to avoid this issue.

- GDB inferior may be suspended while the inferior grabs mutex.
This causes deadlock in terminal I/O. With this patch, timeout
for waiting mutex is set to 0 for the debugger process when the
process calls CreateProcess() with DEBUG_PROCESS flag to avoid
deadlock. This may cause the race issue in GDB, however, there
is no other way than that.

When running Cygwin's Bash in the Windows Terminal (see
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/ for details), Cygwin
is receiving keyboard input in the form of UTF-16 characters.
UTF-16 has that awkward challenge that it cannot map the full Unicode
range, and to make up for it, there are the ranges U+D800-U+DBFF and
U+DC00-U+DFFF which are illegal except when they come in a pair encoding
for Unicode characters beyond U+FFFF.
Cygwin does not handle such surrogate pairs correctly at the moment, as
can be seen e.g. when running Cygwin's Bash in the Windows Terminal and
then inserting an emoji (e.g. via Windows + <dot>, which opens an emoji
picker on recent Windows versions): Instead of showing an emoji, this
shows the infamous question mark in a black triangle, i.e. the invalid
Unicode character.
Let's special-case surrogate pairs in this scenario.

AllocConsole appears to allow creating a console only on the currently
visible desktop since Windows 7, which broke the simple code opening
the console on an invisible desktop in an invisible window station.

- Perhaps current code misunderstand meaning of the IGNBRK. As far
as I investigated, IGNBRK is concerned with break signal in serial
port but there is no evidence that it has effect to ignore Ctrl-C.
This patch stops ignoring Ctrl-C by IGNBRK for non-cygwin apps.
- If ENABLE_LINE_INPUT is set, Ctrl-S is handled by Windows if the
OS is Windows 7. This conflicts with Ctrl-S handling in cygwin
console code. This patch unsets ENABLE_LINE_INPUT flag in cygwin
and set it when native app is executed.
- If ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT is not set, changing window height
does not generate WINDOW_BUFFER_SIZE_EVENT. This happens if console
is in the legacy mode. Therefore, with this patch, the windows size
is checked every time in cons_master_thread() if the cosole is in
the legacy mode.
- Currently, Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-\ and SIGWINCH does not work in console
if the process does not call read() or select(). This is because
these are processed in process_input_message() which is called
from read() or select(). This is a long standing issue of console.

With this patch, new thread which handles only input signals is
introduced so that Crtl-Z, etc. work without calling read() or
select(). Ctrl-S and Ctrl-Q are also handled in this thread.
- Currently, console read() keeps reading after SIGWINCH is sent
even if SA_RESTART flag is not set. With this patch, read()
returns EINTR on SIGWINCH if SA_RESTART flag is not set.
The same problem for SIGQUIT and SIGTSTP has also been fixed.
- Currently, read() returns -1 with EINTR if the process is suspended
by Ctrl-Z and resumed by fg command, while pty continues to read.
For example, xxd command stops with error "Interrupted system call"
after Ctrl-Z and fg. This patch aligns the behaviour with pty (and
Linux).
- After the commit 72770148, script command exits occasionally with
the error "Bad file descriptor" if it is started in console on Win7
and non-cygwin process is executed. This patch fixes the issue.
- After commit 232fde0e, pty changes console code page when the first
non-cygwin app is executed. If pty is started in real console device,
pty changes the code page of root console. This causes very annoying
result because changing code page changes the font of command prompt
if console is in legacy mode. This patch avoids this by creating a
new invisible console for the first pty started in console device.
- If application changes the console mode, mode management introduced
by commit 10d8c278 will be corrupted. For example, stdout of jansi
v2.0.1 or later is piped to less, jansi resets the xterm mode flag
ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINA_PROCESSING when jansi is terminated. This
causes garbled output in less because less needs this flag enabled.
This patch fixes the issue.

A mbtowc_p function returns an int, so that seems the correct type to use here.
- In this implementation, pseudo console is created for each native
console app. Advantages and disadvantages of this implementation
over the previous implementation are as follows.
Advantages:
1) No performance degradation in pty output for cygwin process.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-February/243858.html
2) Free from the problem caused by difference of behaviour of control
sequences between real terminal and pseudo console.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2019-December/243281.htmlhttps://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-February/243855.html
3) Free from the problem in cgdb and emacs gud.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-January/243601.htmlhttps://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-March/244146.html
4) Redrawing screen on executing native console apps is not necessary.
5) cygwin-console-helper is not necessary for the pseudo console
support.
6) The codes for pseudo console support are much simpler than that
of the previous one.
Disadvantages:
1) The cygwin program which calls console API directly does not work.
2) The apps which use console API cannot be debugged with gdb. This
is because pseudo console is not activated since gdb uses
CreateProcess() rather than exec(). Even with this limitation,
attaching gdb to native apps, in which pseudo console is already
activated, works.
3) Typeahead key inputs are discarded while native console app is
executed. Simirally, typeahead key inputs while cygwin app is
executed are not inherited to native console app.
4) Code page cannot be changed by chcp.com. Acctually, chcp works
itself and changes code page of its own pseudo console. However,
since pseudo console is recreated for another process, it cannot
inherit the code page.
5) system_printf() does not work after stderr is closed. (Same with
cygwin 3.0.7)
6) Startup time of native console apps is about 3 times slower than
previous implemenation.
7) Pseudo console cannot be activated if it is already activated for
another process on same pty.
This should slightly speed up especially path conversions,
given there's one less function call rearranging all function
arguments in registers/stack (and less stack pressure).
For clarity, rename overloaded sys_wcstombs to _sys_wcstombs
and sys_cp_mbstowcs to _sys_mbstowcs.

- If the cygwin vim is started from a non-cygwin process which is
executed in pseudo console, shift key and ctrl key do not work.
In this case, vim is executed under /dev/cons*. If vim outputs
escape sequence which is not supported by pseudo console, the
escape sequence is leaked into the parent pty. This causes
unexpected results. This patch fixes the issue by discarding
"CSI > Pm m". "OSC 10;? BEL/ST" and "OSC 11;? BEL/ST" are
discarded as well.
Passing a pointer to a local variable to WriteConsoleA is
not actually needed if we're not going to do anything with
what WriteConsoleA would put in there.
For the wpbuf class the pointer argument was made optional,
so it can be just left out; other call places now pass a
NULL pointer instead. The local variables `wn' and `n'
are no unused, so they go away.
Replace direct access to a pair of co-dependent variables
by calls to methods of a class that encapsulates their relation.
Also replace C #define by C++ class constant.
- In xterm compatible mode, "ESC 7" and "ESC 8" do not work properly
in the senario:
1) Execute /bin/ls /bin to fill screen.
2) Sned CSI?1049h to alternate screen.
3) Reduce window size.
4) Send CSI?1049l to resume screen.
5) Send "ESC 7" and "ESC 8".
After sending "ESC 8", the cursor goes to incorrect position. This
patch adds a workaround for this issue.
- This patch fixes the issue that xterm compatible mode for input
is not correctly set/unset in some situation such as:
1) cat is stopped by ctrl-c.
2) The window size is changed in less.
In case 1), request_xterm_mode_input(true) is called in read(),
however, cat is stopped without request_xterm_mode_input(false).
In case 2), less uses longjmp in signal handler, therefore,
corresponding request_xterm_mode_input(false) is not called if
the SIGWINCH signal is sent within read(). With this patch,
InterlockedExchange() is used instead of InterlockedIncrement/
Decrement().
- This patch makes some detailed behaviour of ESC sequences such as
"CSI Ps L" (IL), "CSI Ps M" (DL) and "ESC M" (RI) in xterm mode
match with real xterm.
- In Win10 upto 1809, xterm compatible mode does not have REP
escape sequence which terminfo declares. This patch adds support
for "CSI Ps b" (REP). With this patch, bvi (binary editor) works
normally in Win10 1809. Also, xterm compatible mode does not have
"CSI Pm `" (HPA), "CSI Pm a" (HPR) and "CSI Ps e" (VPR). However,
they do not appear to be declared by terminfo. Therefore, these
have been pending.
- Cygwin console with xterm compatible mode causes problem reported
in https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2020-q1/msg00212.html
if background/foreground colors are set to gray/black respectively
in Win10 1903/1909. This is caused by "CSI Ps L" (IL), "CSI Ps M"
(DL) and "ESC M" (RI) control sequences which are broken. This
patch adds a workaround for the issue.
- Accessing shared_console_info before initialization causes access
violation because it is a NULL pointer. The cause of the problem
reported in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-02/msg00197.html is
this NULL pointer access in request_xterm_mode_output() when it is
called from close(). This patch makes sure that shared_console_info
is not NULL before calling request_xterm_mode_output().
