Description Jascha Wetzel 2007-03-21 12:03:22 UTC 
on win32 writef and friends don't use redirected std handles if they are piped.
stdin/out/err handles 0, 1 and 2 are not the redirected versions on win32. one needs to get redirected handles with
GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
etc.

therefore, the std handles from std.c.stdio used in std.stdio probably cannot be constant.

I'd work on this but don't have a Windows machine. Could someone else take this bug over? Also, is it reproducible on D2? Thanks.

In fact, I have a working plugin that retabifies source, passed to stdin, though, as I see it uses my io streams that I wrote in order to fix bug 2742 :)
Comment 3 Andrei Alexandrescu 2011-06-05 08:08:20 UTC 
I'm putting this up for grabs as I don't have a Windows system to test on.
Comment 4 Andrei Alexandrescu 2015-11-03 17:39:36 UTC 
Is this bug still valid? Does it apply to D2?
Comment 5 Andrew Edwards 2021-05-18 17:40:57 UTC 
Validated that this issue is resolved on both Win7 and Win10. No problems encountered after compiling with -m32 and piping output of resulting executable to file.
