[issue30295] msvcrt SetErrorMode not documented

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun added the comment:

msvcrt set_error_mode, CrtReportMode, CrtReportFile and the associated CRT 
constants should be documented for use with debug builds. Also, msvcrt is 
missing the set_error_mode constants _OUT_TO_DEFAULT, _OUT_TO_STDERR, 
_OUT_TO_MSGBOX, and _REPORT_ERRMODE.

SetErrorMode [1] and the SEM_* constants are defined in msvcrt, for convenience 
I suppose. They're not related to the CRT. I think they should be aliased in 
the os module and documented there. GetErrorMode [2] can also be provided in 
Python 3.5+. It would be useful to also provide SetThreadErrorMode [3] and 
GetThreadErrorMode conditionally in Windows 7+, which is practically all 
Windows users nowadays.

[issue30295] msvcrt SetErrorMode not documented

[Giampaolo Rodola']

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola':

Also SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS and other SEM_constants. They should as setting 
error mode on Windows for console applications is a pretty common use case (in 
fact ./Lib/test/libregrtest/setup.py uses it).
