Proposed changes implement some functions necessary for
cmd.exe
to start, most notably_getstdfilex
,SetStdioPathW
(untested/WIP),GetStdioPathW
(untested/WIP),WideCharToMultiByte
, and change some existing functions (_fileno
,FindFirstFile
,FindNextFile
).These changes are not sufficient to start
cmd.exe
. Here is a branch with a quick and dirty hack to get it working, however, better solutions are necessary. Two main problems are:cmd.exe
seems to expect to have a console already allocated (it does someDeviceIoControl
calls, which maybe allocate the console - I don't know).The more serious issue of the two is the first one. I see two main ways to solve it:
SubsystemTool
could patch the PE to add a custom entry point (this is somewhat difficult, as the code section would have to expand)
