Just downloaded Git for Windows, and ran this:
$ export PATH=/c/msys64/mingw64/bin/:$PATH
$ gcc catch_ctrl-c.cpp -o catch_ctrl-c
$ ./catch_ctrl-c.exe
- tick -
- tick -
$
same result - no handler invoked on Ctrl-C...
Not sure whether simply adding /c/msys64/mingw64/bin to the PATH was the
right thing to do though...?
Thanks!
Donald.
