There is going to be a very long tail of applications that will
explicitly request VT SGR 40/37 when what they really want is to
SetConsoleTextAttribute() with a black background/white foreground.
Instead of making those applications look bad (and therefore making us
look bad, because we're releasing this as an update to something that
"looks good" already), we're introducing this compatibility quirk.
Before the color reckoning in #6698 + #6506, *every* color was subject
to being spontaneously and erroneously turned into the default color.
Now, only the 16-color palette value that matches the active console
background/foreground color will be destroyed, and only when received
from specific applications.
Removal will be tracked by #6807.
Michael and I discussed what layer this quirk really belonged in. I
originally believed it would be sufficient to detect a background color
that matched the legacy default background, but @j4james provided an
example of where that wouldn't work out (powershell setting the
foreground color to white/gray). In addition, it was too heavyhanded: it
re-broke black backgrounds for every application.
Michael thought that it should live in the server, as a small VT parser
that righted the wrongs coming directly out of the application. On
further investigation, however, I realized that we'd need to push more
information up into the server (so that it could make the decision about
which VT was wrong and which was right) than should be strictly
necessary.
The host knows which colors are right and wrong, and it gets final say
in what ends up in the buffer.
Because of that, I chose to push the quirk state down through
WriteConsole to DoWriteConsole and toggle state on the
SCREEN_INFORMATION that indicates whether the colors coming out of the
application are to be distrusted. This quirk _only applies to pwsh.exe
and powershell.exe._
NOTE: This doesn't work for PowerShell the .NET Global tool, because it
is run as an assembly through dotnet.exe. I have no opinion on how to
fix this, or whether it is worth fixing.
VALIDATION
----------
I configured my terminals to have an incredibly garish color scheme to
show exactly what's going to happen as a result of this. The _default
terminal background_ is purple or red, and the foreground green. I've
printed out a heap of test colors to see how black interacts with them.
Pull request #6810 contains the images generated from this test.
The only color lines that change are the ones where black as a
background or white as a foreground is selected out of the 16-color
palette explicitly. Reverse video still works fine (because black is in
the foreground!), and it's even possible to represent "black on default"
and reverse it into "default on black", despite the black in question
having been `40`.
Fixes#6767.
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR implements a pair of shims for `cmd` and `powershell`, so that their `cls` and `Clear-Host` functions will clear the entire terminal buffer (like they do in conhost), instead of just the viewport. With the conpty viewport and buffer being the same size, there's effectively no way to know if an application is calling these API's in this way with the intention of clearing the buffer or the viewport. We absolutely have to guess.
Each of these shims checks to see if the way that the API is being called exactly matches the way `cmd` or `powershell` would call these APIs. If it does, we manually write a `^[[3J` to the connected terminal, to get he Terminal to clear it's own scrollback.
~~_⚠️ If another application were trying to clear the **viewport** with an exactly similar API call, this would also cause the terminal scrollback to get cleared ⚠️_~~
* [x] Should these shims be restricted to when the process that's calling them is actually `cmd.exe` or `powershell.exe`? Can I even do this? I think we've done such a good job of isolating the client process information from the rest of the host code that I can't figure out how to do this.
- YES, this can be done, and I did it.
* [ ] **TODO**: _While I'm here_, should I have `DoSrvPrivateEraseAll` (the implementation for `^[[2J`, in `getset.cpp`) also manually trigger a EraseAll in the terminal in conpty mode?

I generally try to ignore upstream bits. I've accidentally included some items from the `deps/` directory. I expect someone will give me a list of items to drop, I'm happy to drop whole files/directories, or to split the PR into multiple items (E.g. comments/locals/public).

## Validation Steps Performed
## Summary of the Pull Request
- Enables auditing of some Terminal libraries (Connection, Core, Settings)
- Also audit WinConPTY.LIB since Connection depends on it
## PR Checklist
* [x] Rolls audit out to more things
* [x] I work here

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This is turning on the auditing of these projects (as enabled by the heavier lifting in the other refactor) and then cleaning up the remaining warnings.
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Built it
- [x] Ran the tests
This commit cleans up and deduplicates all of the common build
preamble/postamble across exe, dll, lib and c++/winrt projects.
The following specific changes have been made:
* All projects now define their ConfigurationType
* All projects now set all their properties *before* including a common
build file (or any other build files)
* cppwinrt.pre and cppwinrt.post now delegate most of their
configuration to common.pre and common.post
* (becuase of the above,) all build options are conserved between
console and c++/winrt components, including specific warnings and
preprocessor definitions.
* More properties that are configurable per-project are now
conditioned so the common props don't override them.
* The exe, dll, exe.or.dll, and lib postincludes have been merged into
pre or post and switched based on condition as required
* Shared items (-shared, -common) are now explicitly vcxitems instead of
vcxproj files.
* The link line is now manipulated after Microsoft.Cpp sets it, so the
libraries we specify "win". All console things link first against
onecore_apiset.lib.
* Fix all compilation errors caused by build unification
* Move CascadiaPackage's resources into a separate item file
Fixes#922.
* Ensure rights check and increments pass before assigning an object to a handle (since deallocation of handles will automatically attempt to cleanup).
Adjusts the startup and shutdown behavior of most threads in the console host to alleviate race conditions that are either exacerbated or introduced by the VT PTY threads.
### User Stories:
1. A user wants to be able to use the executable path as their starting title
- Does anyone want this?
2. A user wants to be able to set a custom starting title, but have that title be overridable
3. A user wants to be able to set an overridable starting title, different from the profile name
- Presumably someone will want this
4. A user totally wants to ignore the VT title and use something else
- This will make more sense in the post [#1320] "Support runtime variables in the custom user title" settings
### Solutions:
1. `name`, `startingTitle`, `tabTitle`
* a. `name` is only ever used as the profile name.
* b. If `startingTitle` isn't set, then the executable path is used
* c. If `startingTitle` is set, it's used as the initial title
* d. If `tabTitle` is set, it overrides the title from the terminal
* e. Current users of `tabTitle` need to manually update to the new behavior.
2. `name` as starting title, `tabTitle` as a different starting title
* a. `name` is used as the starting title and the profile name in the dropdown
* b. If `tabTitle` is set, we'll use that as the overridable starting title instead.
* c. In the future, `dynamicTabTitle` or `tabTitleOverride` could be added to support [#1320]
* d. Current users of `tabTitle` automatically get the new (different!) behavior.
* e. User Story 1 is impossible
- Does anyone want the behavior _ever_? Perhaps making that scenario impossible is good?
3. `name` unchanged, `tabTitle` as the starting title
* a. `name` is only ever used as the profile name.
* b. If `tabTitle` is set, we'll use that as the overridable starting title.
* c. In the future, `dynamicTabTitle` or `tabTitleOverride` could be added to support [#1320]
* d. Current users of `tabTitle` automatically get the new (different!) behavior.
4. `name` as starting title, `tabTitle` as different starting title, `suppressApplicationTitle` Boolean to force it to override
* a. `name`, `tabTitle` work as in Solution 2.
* b. When someone wants to be able to statically totally override that title (story 4), they can use `suppressApplicationTitle`
* c. `suppressApplicationTitle` name is WIP
* d. We'll add `suppressApplicationTitle` when someone complains
* e. If you really want story 1, use `tabTitle: c:\path\to\foo.exe` and `suppressApplicationTitle`.
[#1320]: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/1320
We've decided to pursue path 4.
