Arguments: project-or-app
Returns whether a console window with an always-active Lisp listener
will be present in the standalone application that is generated for a
project. This project
property has an effect only on the Windows platform, because that is
the only platform that uses a console window.
In the IDE, run-with-console
is a property of a project
, and in a generated application it is a
property of the app
object. The setf of this
function may be called to set the value programmatically, though
typically you would set the value interactively by using the Run
with Console check-box on the Advanced tab of
the Project
Manager dialog.
If the value is nil
, as it is by default,
then a console window may still exist in the standalone application,
but it will initially be hidden. It will also have an active
read-eval-print loop only if an error occurs or if the user presses
the Break key.
If the value is true, then the console window will appear when the standalone application is run (though initially behind the project's main window if it has one), and its read-eval-print-loop will be active at all times. This is implemented by using multiple processes in the standalone app, which would otherwise use only a single process unless the application creates processes itself.
The console window will exist in a standalone application (on the Windows platform only) if either this property is true or if the :allow-runtime-debug option is included in the build-flags property of the project (which is normally set by checking the Enable Debugging of Runtime Errors widget on the Build tab of the Project Manager).
