So I've been testing ReadFile's behavior with other input types like pipes and files and noticed a…
You can read how TLS works more in these series of articles (for Windows): So I finally finished …
Then your ReadFile will read full buffer. And rest of the input you'll get on next call to ReadFil…
Before disabling line buffering, I want to know what happens if the user's input is bigger than my …
Simply disable line buffering on input handle and do buffering yourself. Have whatever size buffer…
So let's say my internal buffer size was 4 bytes, and the user types something like 8 bytes and pr…
Ah, you're right. It has special behavior when it is reading from console. Just be aware that user…
ReadFile will not stop at \r\n. It will read up to N bytes you ask, or stop earlier if there is no…

The ReadFile function takes in a buffer, and usually, when I actually read a file I would know the…
RemedyBG 0.4.0.3 is now available for download on itch.io and includes the following improvements …
Evaluating an expression and returning the result is possible but is not something that is ready t…
I'm not sure if you can set codepage to utf-16. I think it is only relevant for 8-bit code pages a…
For ascii only it will work fine, no problems there. What if the terminal expected UTF-16? Isn't U…
If you output wrong encoding than user expects, they will see garbage (or you'll receive garbage i…
If you output utf8 bytes, then the output will receive utf8 bytes. If you output utf16 bytes, then…
ReadFile/WriteFile is fine if you want to output raw bytes - so whatever you'll write, it will be …
What is the proper way to handle input/output from/to the console in Win32? There are a lot of fun…
Yes, that is how I normally implement my page allocator before I know about ASAN. Does ASAN also i…
every allocation gets put in its own page with surrounding guard pages to catch buffer overflows A…
I'm unsure how ASAN costs more memory than a page allocator. Because a shadow byte accounts for 8 …
Yes, enabling ASAN makes your code slower. And requires a lot more memory.See
Before using ASAN, what I usually do to "poison" a region of memory is to have an end-of-page allo…

I see. That sounds like a robust approach. In the case of a path tracer in fragment/compute shader…
The only way I can see that working is by doing double buffering on the slow thing. That way you c…
