From: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]> When a cygwin program and a non-cygwin program run in the same foreground process group (for example the pipeline `cat | ping`), Ctrl-C stopped interrupting the cygwin program after "Cygwin: console: Ensure the master thread runs only when it is supposed to". The console only delivers Ctrl-C as a raw 0x03 byte (which the console master thread reads and turns into a SIGINT for the foreground process group) while that thread is live. When it is suspended or disabled, set_input_mode (tty::cygwin) instead requests ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT, so the console raises a CTRL_C_EVENT and the 0x03 byte never reaches the master thread. The referenced commit reordered the two enable paths, bg_check () and post_open_setup (), so that set_input_mode (tty::cygwin) runs while disable_master_thread is still set; that leaves ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT on and the cygwin program never receives its SIGINT. Clear disable_master_thread before selecting cygwin input mode in those two paths, so the mode is configured with the master thread already live and ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT stays off. The disable paths and the synchronous suspension that the referenced commit added are left unchanged, so non-cygwin programs still get the master thread reliably suspended.
