[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Aborting MPW 3.0 tool waiting for input

mkb@rover.ri.cmu.edu (Mike Blackwell) (04/15/89)

MPW 3.0 tools written in C don't seem to abort if you type command-period
while they are waiting for input from stdin. Instead, command-period acts
like 'enter'. This can be a real drag if you're stuck in an infinite loop.
Hitting command-period a bunch of times really fast will usually work, since
you eventually catch it before the next input, but still, it used to work
correctly in 2.0.2... I've tried using something like signal(SIGINT, exit),
but it still doesn't catch the interrupt. Am I missing something obvious, or
is this a bug?
