Re: [Mingw-msys] Ctrl-Break handler?

[Howard C. <hy...@hi...>]

Not content to leave well enough alone, here's yet another approach. 
It's far uglier, and requires NT/2000/XP (I.e., no Win95/98/ME).

This code assumes that the target program has been linked with an MSVC 
CRT DLL. If it can find one of these DLLs attached to the target, then 
it will find the raise() entry point in the DLL, and use that to send 
signals to the target. One advantage of this approach is that it will 
work even if the target program doesn't use a Console.  The obvious 
disadvantage is that it's pretty invasive. If there's no MSVCRT, then it 
does nothing.

Food for thought. It works, but I'm not sure it was worth the effort.
