[cdt-dev] Starter.exe

[Chris Songer <songer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

The real challenge with all of this setpri stuff is the starter.exe for NT. 
Everything else is just easy. Does anyone have any background on why 
starter.exe is there? Is it because you need to have something to be the 
head of a process group for NT's GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent to work? That's 
my suspicion.

If so, it does not appear to interoperate well with cygwin and I think it 
will only work for Ctrl events on non-cygwin apps. So not only is it 
screwing me over for setting priority ( going to have to create an event to 
send it since the pid held in spawner.dll is for starter and not what 
starter started ) but it's ALSO not working for cygwin apps since cygwin 
has to be the process group leader before it will turn a CTRL_C_EVENT into 
a SIGINT.

Thanks!
