I wrote a GUI for my application as a c++ addon. Now I want node to start
without the console. To do this I changed the subsystem from console to
windows and replaced the following in node_main.cc (latest stable):
int wmain(int argc, wchar_t *wargv[]) {
with
int wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PWSTR pCmdLine,
int nCmdShow) {
int argc = __argc;
wchar_t **wargv = __wargv;
It works, Node starts without console and you can run your script. Only you
can't use console output unless you pipe it to some file or something else.
However after doing this my addon broke. Node will still load my addon and
I can spawn a windows form and do stuff. However if I use uv or v8 stuff
it'll crash because of an access violation at `mod->register_func(target);`
in node.cc. Even a single `HandleScope scope` in the init function is
enough to cause a crash.
The same addon works when I run it with node with console. Both node
executables are built from the same source, just with/without the patch
above.
I wonder how the access violation is related to changing node to a windows
application? Any windows developer here who has a clue? Built-in stuff like
a HTTP Server works without a crash. Loading modules works too, they just
mustn't contain any v8/uv stuff. I can't figure this out...
