Sorry, my fingers aren't working. I keep accidentally replying to the
sender rather than/in addition to the list.
Cygwin's current tcflush implimentation is rather crude. Although, it may
not be possible to do any better. PTC.
if (queue == TCIFLUSH || queue == TCIOFLUSH)
/* Input flushing by polling until nothing turns up
(we stop after 1000 chars anyway) */
for (int max = 1000; max > 0; max--)
{
COMSTAT st;
if (!PurgeComm (get_handle (), PURGE_RXABORT | PURGE_RXCLEAR))
break;
low_priority_sleep (100);
if (!ClearCommError (get_handle (), &ev, &st) || !st.cbInQue)
break;
}
So, your not really hung. Just stuck for a long time.
As a work around, tell the device to shut up first, then flush.
