Re: SIGINT not passed to java process

Since apparently nobody wants to take ownership of this regression I'll point out the workaround, for the benefit of those googling and landing on this thread: start Java with -Xrs and use Ctrl-Break instead of Ctrl-C. This will disable thread dump and break any application that relies on normal s

Re: SIGINT not passed to java process

python has the same problem. If you send it a Ctrl-C under cmd.com it will print "KeyboardInterrupt" whereas under Cygwin it prints nothing. Is python more to your taste? On 5/17/2012 7:23 PM, Christopher Faylor wrote: On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 05:30:26PM +0200, Olivier Lefevre wrote

But your question is how readline is not working, and yet your cygcheck shows that q is not even using readline (unless it is loading it dynamically after the fact, as if by dlsym). So you're probably asking the wrong question. OK, fair enough. I should have said "readline-like behaviour". Ha

Since the last Cygwin update (I am now at 3.2.49(22)-release) readline is no longer working in some interpreters started from the bash shell, i.e., the languages offer an interactive prompt and I used to be able to recall earlier commands with the arrow keys but no more. This still works from the

ls returning file list as one big string

As the subject says, ls returns the file list as one big string for some directories but not others. One sign of that is that, e.g., for i in `\ls *.java`; do sed -e $i; done fails with "File too long". Once can prove it with for i in `\ls *.java`; do echo \"$i\"; done which will retur
