Not likely. Cygwin handles Ctrl-C by generating SIGINT. This only
works reliably with Cygwin processes. There's
$ /bin/kill -f <PID>
to call the Win32 function TerminateProcess(pid) on a non-Cygwin
process or an unresponsive Cygwin process.
As I noted, it was not unique to control-C. In any case, unfortunate
to hear that Cygwin will not address this issue. kill -f is clearly
not desirable for doing a clean shutdown of a process.
Cygwin can't introduce Unix-like shutdown mechanisms (like the
handling a non-fatal signal) into non-Cygwin processes which have
no concept of that. It makes no sense.
The Windows way to try to try to obtain a clean shutdown is to send a
message to a window handle (WM_CLOSE or WM_QUIT or whatever); then
if that fails, TerminateProcess rudely.
kill shouldn't try to translate signals to window handle messages;
it makes no sense.
