524894 - -console doesn't work on Win7 and/or VC9

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GRE Core, defect)

Description

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

Unsure of which one is the culprit, but under Win7/VC9, -console doesn't work -- a console opens, but no output is generated.

It looks like the _open_osfhandle() call always returns an error, similar to what's reported here: http://onegazhang.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!D5E642BC862BA286!597.entry

but the workaround of using the ERROR handle doesn't work for me either.

For now a workaround for stdout that I'm using is piping to cat and then redirecting that. i.e. firefox | cat > log.txt

Mass change of bugs in the "Embedding: GRE Core" component in preparation for archiving it. I believe that these are no longer relevant; but if they are, they should be reopened and moved into a component relevant to the code in question.
