Mine is TCC/LE an gets stuck in the following loop [Disassembly of takecmd.dll by Visual Studio 2008]: 100326DA mov edi,dword ptr ds:[100C6684h] 100326E0 cmp word ptr [edi],0 100326E4 mov esi,edi 100326E6 je 10032700 100326E8 push esi 100326E9...

Well, yes, I am now more convinced that there is noting to do with cmd.exe itself when lunching such console-based applications. May be there is some windows internal parts that the cmd.exe uses as well to show its console the same as other console-based applications. And the limitation is...

Well, I should give a try to this method. It seems to be a specific workaround to the scenario of compiler invocation command-length problem.

Well, if I want to go into further details, I should say that an application executable (3rd party, like eclipse.exe), launches another application executable (again 3rd party, like g++.exe). Since g++.exe is a console-based application, it will be launched in a way that a command-prompt-like...

Thanks for your reply and interest in this question. The case that lead me to need more command-line input buffer is described here in this thread.

I faced a strange situation while working with tcc.exe shell. I noticed that the commands larger than 19998 characters in length are executed but are not memorized in the history (When you press up arrow, it doesn't appear) On the other hand if the total length of command line is 19997 or less...

Thanks a lot for your reply and the information about batch files. I have declared ComSpec and rebooted afterwards, but it seems that the launcher application does not use the variable and invokes the child executable directly. Please also see my previous reply to David Marcus about my case.

Many thanks for your the information about batch files. Actually, my case is that there is an *.exe application (eg: eclipse.exe) that runs the g++-3.exe compiler from within itself. Or, for example imagine the following is a button handler in an executable application that lunches the g++...

Has anyone experience in specifying tcc.exe as the default shell/console for handling console-based applications. I mean when you normally run, for example, g++ in the run window, it will bring up a shell (which is cmd.exe) and run the g++.exe inside it. I want to make tcc.exe come up when...
