hello, I am looking for general guidance/feedback on the possibility of changing make-process in src/process.c to use the new Windows ConPTY (released in recent Windows 10 updates). For reference see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/.
As I understand it Emacs uses pipes to communicate with async processes on Windows, because in the past Windows had no native pseudo tty like you'll find on Unix-based systems. ConPTY makes available a pseudo tty, and in theory this could facilitate a better experience for Emacs users working with sub processes such as programming language shells, command line utilities and the like. All that said I have basically no experience with the Emacs core and little knowledge of what's required for such a change, if the core team would be amenable to such a change, and so on. However I am eager to learn and I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction. thanks, George
