8834 :: Redirect stdout for invoke assembly using winim/clr

  Hello guys,

  so I've just started playing around with nim and my lack of programming background really is becoming a problem so I need some help.

  I want a dll that uses winim/clr to load an assembly from desk then call the main function and redirect all output to a file. Now I've got everything working fine; when loading the dll myself I am able to redirect the stdout to a file.

  The problem is when I try to run the dll from rundll32.exe, the stdout is redirected only for nim's "echo" but not the invoked assembly stdout. Can any one help me determine why the stdout isnt redirected when run from rundll32?

  I have no experience with rundll32.exe but it looks like you redirect the Nim program's stdout but not the stdout of its child process? No idea, sorry.

  Could we take a look at your code for redirection? Are you using reopen() to redirect stdout? I believe reopen behaves differently on Windows systems than on Unix.
