Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Cygwin: console: Maintain EXTENDED_FLAGS state
Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2022 19:09:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAvot89oYw7QF8YNMGp9fGTRsB18u2of1TFw-g_B4GWctLtFDw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

As well-described over in this post [1], it's possible for
the active console mode to be impossible to correctly determine.
Specifically, if ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS is at any point unset,
then the flags it's associated with (ENABLE_INSERT_MODE,
ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE) will no longer be discoverable - they'll
always show up as unset, regardless of real console state.

It's not possible to work around this by setting
ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS once then re-querying, because setting
ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS on it's own will *disable* its related
flags.

Anyways, to avoid this case, all programs doing SetConsoleMode()
must be good community citizens and carefully maintain its state.
Unfortunately, we're accidentally stepping on this in
fhandler_console::set_input_mode().

This patch solves this by carrying forward ENABLED_EXTENDED_FLAGS
(and friends) in the only place where it had been ignored: set_input_mode()
Since the previous behaviour of leaving all three flags unset would
essentially maintain their existing state (except for the footgun
being worked around here), *adding* the carry-over of the flags now
should not alter console behaviour.
