Ticket #915:
Backspace no longer works at console prompts

In 4.1.0 (testing on Windows 32-bit), you can longer backspace when typing in text at a console prompt (prompt_string or prompt_number). So you can't fix your typos. Changes to gets()?

I have the same problems with gets(), changed from gets() to get_key() and wrote my own backspace. See forum post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ox1Cb9uoy8

However, the left-arrow key does act like a backspace. Curious.

Something is bad with keyboard exploration codes...

The ifdef statement at line 92 of be_runtime.c should be ifdef EWINDOWS not ifdef WINDOWS. This error causes BS to be set to the unix value 127 not the windows value 8. The missing E also occurs on line 5963 of be_runtime.c, line 2840 of be_machine.c, lines 118 and 173 of be_alloc.c, and line 1473 of be_rterror.c

I'm not sure about your commits, Shawn. Why have an #ifdef or an #ifndef without a condition following it? Would this affect nix? Have you regression tested non-Windoze to ensure that those platforms have not broke from this change?

I haven't run all the tests, but bug915.ex from last year with get_key() works now. I didn't try to verify the trace console bug Kat mentioned. the left arrow still works as BS may not be ideal.
there does seem to be quite a few more warnings in the build, of the unused var and cast pointer to int type things. I think because I'm using gcc 4.8 which has more default warnings turning on.
also this error from config, not sure if that will screwup the tests or coverage.

ne1uno,
the symlink is to make the tests use the ecp.dat that you generate when making the tool kit. The build directory is made in the configure script and the symbolic links can be created as long as the destination directory exists. I don't understand why this is happening on your system.

I am marking this fixed. The issue with the symlink is another issue.
