Hi everyone,
I posted previously on haskell-beginners about an issue which would have been better directed to this list. Since then, I have revisited the issue and am now even less certain of its cause.
I have to perform cleanup when my application terminates. GHC.ConsoleHandler handles cleanup from Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break very nicely under Windows. My sample handler and main function are shown at [1].
When I press Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break during threadDelay, messages are written to console_event.log as I expected. When I press the Close button during threadDelay, no message is written to console_event.log. Am I missing something fundamental about handling the Close button or installing handlers?
In case it makes a difference, I'm using GHC 6.12.3 under Windows XP.
I don't know a great deal about this, but if you think it might be a bug please report it at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/newticket?type=bug giving as much information as you can. Cheers, Simon
