[REACTOS]
Merge of the ros-csrss branch created with a three-fold purpose:
- Use the new Windows-compatible Client-Server Runtime Subsystem (csrss +
csrsrv)
written by Alex Ionescu to replace the old hacked one. Also the CSR
client part,
residing in ntdll, is updated. Some work also done on the dlls side, which
communicate with CSR, namely kernel32.
- Replace our very old win32csr.dll CSR server by the collection
basesrv.dll /
winsrv.dll as it is done under Windows.
- Since the console subsystem is (for historical purposes on Windows) the
only subsystem which exploits all the possibilities of the CSR, I decided
to
put it in a new CSR dll called 'consrv.dll', even if on Windows it is
included
together with other APIs inside the winsrv dll (since Windows NT 3.1
release)
(I took the name 'consrv' from the dll where it was included in Windows
NT 3.1
beta from October 1991). Some work was also done on its internal
architecture
(the external interface is of course unchanged for compatibility reasons)
and a
two-layer approach was developed, using the existing idea of console
functions +
GUI or TUI we already had in win32csr:
* the "console server" which dialogs with the console applications,
and which maintains a list of all the created consoles.
* different "front-ends" corresponding to where you want to output
the information (~= console hardware) (Work-In-Progress).
Another idea would be to make those front-ends dynamically-loadable
(instead
of being compiled inside consrv).
- I also fixed some parts of the console properties dialog box.
