Create Console for Logging in Win32 Application

1 Create Console for Logging in Win32 Application

Win32 Application is created without Console, which is quite useful for debuging.

1.1 AllocConsole && Redirect stdout

void InitConsole() {
    ASSERT_TRUE(AllocConsole());

    auto out = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    auto message = "Console Allocated\n";
    WriteConsole(out, message, (DWORD)strlen(message), nullptr, nullptr);

    // redirect stream stdout
    mStdout = freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stdout);
    ASSERT_NOT_NULL(mStdout);

    printf("stdout redirected\n");
}

void DestroyConsole() {
    SAFE_CLOSE(mStdout);
    ASSERT_TRUE(FreeConsole());
}

1.2 TODO: REPL

1) Support REPL in Console
