winedbg and program stdout

[Ilya Basin]

When I debug a program with winedbg, it's output never goes to the
same terminal. If it's compiled with -mconsole, it goes to a new
console window; if compiled with -mwindows, the output is discarded.
Any way to change this behavior?

if your debuggee is a CUI (compiled with -m console), then winedbg 
forces to have two consoles, one for winedbg, the other one for the 
debuggee program
that's a decision. if you want to change this, remove the 
CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE flag in programs/winedbg/tgt_active.c
(actually we could make this an optional behavior of winedbg to share 
the current console with debuggee's output)

if your debuggee is a GUI, it's windows default behavior not to create 
automatically a console for this program
you need to call AllocConsole() in your debuggee for that. and it that 
case, wine will likely have to create a new window for the console
