2016-10-13 Thread Bill Smith
Hi, I'm trying to run my Windows C++ application which has a call to DebugBreak() to bring up the popup asking if you want to debug this application or terminate it. If I run the program within Cygwin, the program just exits. If I run the application from a Windows command prompt, I get the
