[PATCH] mingw: make isatty() recognize MSYS2's pseudo terminals (/dev/pty*)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Karsten Blees <blees@xxxxxxx>

MSYS2 emulates pseudo terminals via named pipes, and isatty() returns 0
for such file descriptors. Therefore, some interactive functionality
(such as launching a pager, asking if a failed unlink should be repeated
etc.) doesn't work when run in a terminal emulator that uses MSYS2's
ptys (such as mintty).

However, MSYS2 uses special names for its pty pipes ('msys-*-pty*'),
which allows us to distinguish them from normal piped input / output.

On startup, check if stdin / stdout / stderr are connected to such pipes
using the NtQueryObject API from NTDll.dll. If the names match, adjust
the flags in MSVCRT's ioinfo structure accordingly.
