Hi folks,
The attached patch dynamically detects and uses the BSD licensed editline library (a pretty close replacement for readline), if it's available. This gives winedbg command line recall.
I think this should be available via Win32 calls without the licensing issues. See dlls/kernel/editline.c I'm not sure if winedbg is currently supposed to support it and there is a bug, or if it just hasn't enabled the feature, or if it is even able to use it.
Ouch. Clue bats hurt; I think I've just walked into a tar pit, haven't I? Now I seem to recall battles over winedbg and how consoles work. Sadly, I can't remember all of the gory details (hence, the need for the clue bat).
With the attached patch, winedbg --console starts a Win32 style console for it's session, and indeed, the Win32 console editing stuff works out just fine.
But I can't resize the window and don't have a scroll bar.
But there is an alternate and/or better way to do this, isn't there? I set WINECONSOLE or something, right? More clues would be welcome.
Cheers,
Jeremy
