(.com takes precedence) * * This wrapper will call the .exe with the same arguments, and wait * until it finished. The child process should attach to the same * console and redirect standard input/output, this way: * * if (AttachConsole(ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS) != 0) { * freopen("CONIN$", "r", stdin); * freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stdout); * freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stderr); * dup2(fileno(stdin), STDIN_FILENO); * dup2(fileno(stdout), STDOUT_FILENO); * dup2(fileno(stderr), STDERR_FILENO); * } * Note: if you have a better solution for hybrid console/windows app, * I would be glad to learn how! * * Author: Marc-André Lureau */ #include #include #include #include #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { STARTUPINFO si = { 0, }; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = { 0, }; TCHAR name[MAX_PATH]; DWORD len = GetModuleFileName(NULL, name, MAX_PATH); if (len < 5) { printf("Invalid process name\n"); exit(1); } else { // We expect our helper to end with .com assert(strncmp(name + len - 3, "com", 4) == 0); // replace .com with .exe strncpy(name + len - 3, "exe", 3); } si.cb = sizeof(si); if (!CreateProcess(name, GetCommandLine(), NULL, // Process handle not inheritable NULL, // Thread handle not inheritable FALSE, // Set handle inheritance to FALSE 0, // No creation flags NULL, // Use parent's environment block NULL, // Use parent's starting directory &si, &pi)) { printf("CreateProcess failed (%ld).\n", GetLastError()); exit(1); } // Wait until child process exits.
