Hello list,
I was wondering if it would be possible to use the recent ConPTY API
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2018/08/02/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/
to improve the compatibility of Cygwin with native Windows console
applications (especially interactive ones).
Thanks!
Best wishes,
Nicolás

"Native Windows console applications" are not using that API, so, the point?

Hi Andrey,
Thanks for your email. I am rather ignorant about the technical
issues, but if you take a look at the section titled
ConHost - Investing in yesterday for tomorrow
in the referenced blog post it seems to indicate quite clearly that
the new API can be used to run *existing* Console applications so that
they appear to be basically Unix terminal applications (doing I/O
using VT codes, etc).
Cheers,
Nicolás

Someone using Cygwin on Windows 10 may be interested enough some day to research
and develop patches to map ConPTY API to Posix PTY API while not breaking legacy
support for Posix PTY API with older Windows ConHost.
