Hi everyone,
I posted previously on haskell-beginners about an issue which would have been
better directed to this list. Since then, I have revisited the issue and am now
even less certain of its cause.
I have to perform cleanup when my application terminates. GHC.ConsoleHandler
handles cleanup from Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break very nicely under Windows. My sample
handler and main function are shown at [1].
When I press Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break during threadDelay, messages are written to
console_event.log as I expected. When I press the Close button during
threadDelay, no message is written to console_event.log. Am I missing something
fundamental about handling the Close button or installing handlers?
In case it makes a difference, I'm using GHC 6.12.3 under Windows XP.
Thanks,
Colin

module Main where
import Control.Concurrent (threadDelay)
import GHC.ConsoleHandler
import System.IO
onConsoleEventReceived :: ConsoleEvent -> IO ()
onConsoleEventReceived event = withFile "console_event.log" AppendMode $ \ file
-> do
hPutStrLn file $ case event of
ControlC -> "Received Ctrl-C event"
Break -> "Received Ctrl-Break event"
Close -> "Received X button event"
_ -> "Received other console event"
hFlush file
main :: IO ()
main = installHandler (Catch onConsoleEventReceived) >> threadDelay (20*1000000)
