Thanks. (the minority OS would be OS/2, I think) > Will locks be interruptible with ^C? That is an oft-requested feature > which also wasn't supported at that time; what's the situation > nowadays? They still aren't interruptible. From what I can read it may be possible to make them interruptible in the POSIX semaphore-based implementation, not in the POSIX condition variable-based implementation (which is used as a fallback when POSIX semaphores are not available, but I don't know whether this fallback is still useful). As for Windows I have absolutely no idea.
