_write calls WriteFile because Python 3 sets standard I/O to binary mode. The
source is distributed with Visual Studio, so here's the relevant excerpt from
write.c:
else {
/* binary mode, no translation */
if ( WriteFile( (HANDLE)_osfhnd(fh),
(LPVOID)buf,
cnt,
(LPDWORD)&written,
NULL) )
{
dosretval = 0;
charcount = written;
}
else
dosretval = GetLastError();
}
In a debugger you can trace that WriteFile detects the handle is a console
buffer handle (the lower 2 tag bits are set on the handle), and redirects the
call to WriteConsoleA, which makes an LPC interprocess call to the console
server (e.g. csrss.exe or conhost.exe). The LPC call, and associated heap
limit, is the reason you had to modify _io.FileIO.write to limit the buffer
size to 32767 when writing to the Windows console. See issue 11395.
