Ctrl C

Revision as of 16:51, 6 June 2007 by Manus (Talk | contribs)


On Windows, the handling of SIGINT (aka Ctrl+C for a DOS prompt) is done in a different thread than the running thread. Which means that the current runtime cannot handle it properly without failing, since it throw the exception in the wrong thread.

I've posted a question on the Microsoft newsgroups and here is the thread. The interesting part of my thread is a reference to another discussion thread where they propose a solution.

This needs to be investigated.
