If you use OSCall new allocConsole to open a console, be aware of some of the consequences of doing so. If one closes the console window via its system menu or the close button (X in upper-right corner), it will shutdown your entire VA process without giving your application any control over it.
Instantiations' "lead vm guy" explains:
"We cannot control the console created by WinAPI call.
The
MS docs don't mention it explicitly, but they state that AllocConsole
*attaches* the process *to* a new console - not the console to the
process.
Thus, console has master role, and closing the
console closes the process. To get rid of the console FreeConsole WinAPI
call should be used."
