Arg! Thanks. Fixed.

I don't know why but I was expecting the 4th post of this series... Why is that? It feels like this post is the same as before. Haven't you already posted this?
-
Accidentally published incomplete draft a few days ago so pulled it. Now complete & ready for your viewing pleasure :)
-
And, yes, writing #4 as I type :)

I was hoping to see an explicit explanation of the zero-or-one consoles-per-process limitation (that AllocConsole/AttachConsole/FreeConsole impose) as that's another nastiness that makes writing e.g. screen/tmux for Win32 a pain.
-
Oh, we're not done yet, not by a long shot! More on the way!
-
Oh, one other question unresolved: why kernel mode? I know back in the day there were memory concerns and such, but it feels like something that should be native-API-user-mode rather than kernel mode.
-
Between two processes?
-
Sure, why not? We have pipes and LPC and so on and so forth. I suppose it'd mean abandoning the consoles as kernel objects you can send IOCTLs to, but I don't know if I'd call that a pro or a con, really.
-
Yep - and they're all kernel objects too - there's no shortcuts between Win32 processes - they're separated by hardware. Who knows where we might go in this space moving forwards ;)
-
Wouldn't using standard IPC calls reduce the attack surface of the kernel? The number of context switches seem the same. Another question, probably stupid: doesn't Windows support user-mode threads? Why can't consoles be created as threads? IPC could be done with shared memory.

Double up on the first paragraph... awesome series though!
-
-
One more... sorry! Re-re-re >eliminating the need for every command-line shells (in particular) to re-re-re-implement the same functionality.
-
That one was deliberate ;)

Guess "those heady, Object-Oriented days (circa 1998)" should be 1988. ;-) Great article, love the series!
-
MANY thanks. Fixed.
