Takashi Yano bb42852062 Cygwin: pty: Implement new pseudo console support.
- 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/2020-February/243855.html
  3) Free from the problem in cgdb and emacs gud.

      https://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.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
