Debug Console

[johnpatek]

This is more of a Windows problem than a desktop problem, but the Win32 application runtime disables all console output. This is fine for production, but makes debugging difficult. Using the AllocConsole function to create a console with hooks for stdin, stdout, and stderr should be sufficient.

Basic flow:

1. Desktop runtime dispatches
2. AllocConsole
3. Use freopen for input, output, and error handles
4. Normal application cycle
5. FreeConsole

Note that a process can have one console(per MSDN docs), so this should be closely tied to the lifecycle of the runtime.
