@rkimball from my investigations into handling Ctrl+C I remember the windows model for forwarding Ctrl+C from terminal to program is much more invasive than the linux (but also a little more intuitive): it spins up a new thread inside the process and dispatches to that thread. on linux, any system call is interrupted, returns EINTR (I believe) and then jumps to the signal handler. In CPython, the signal handler merely sets a flag reminding Python to run the SIGINT handler defined with the `signal` module next time the interpreter is looking for a new instruction. Unfortunately, "next time" while a C extension is running is after the C extension returns. So I think committing this would mean you have to press Ctrl+C 8 times to bail out of TVM on not-windows. I don't think we can do that--anyhow, at least someone should test this before submitting. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
