From 7c48b9702c54a25fd27d299b89316e63675b18b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Wed, 17 May 2017 17:05:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mingw: kill child processes in a gentler way The TerminateProcess() function does not actually leave the child processes any chance to perform any cleanup operations. This is bad insofar as Git itself expects its signal handlers to run. A symptom is e.g. a left-behind .lock file that would not be left behind if the same operation was run, say, on Linux. To remedy this situation, we use an obscure trick: we inject a thread into the process that needs to be killed and to let that thread run the ExitProcess() function with the desired exit status. Thanks J Wyman for describing this trick. The advantage is that the ExitProcess() function lets the atexit handlers run. While this is still different from what Git expects (i.e. running a signal handler), in practice Git sets up signal handlers and atexit handlers that call the same code to clean up after itself. In case that the gentle method to terminate the process failed, we still fall back to calling TerminateProcess(), but in that case we now also make sure that processes spawned by the spawned process are terminated; TerminateProcess() does not give the spawned process a chance to do so itself. Please note that this change only affects how Git for Windows tries to terminate processes spawned by Git's own executables. Third-party software that *calls* Git and wants to terminate it *still* need to make sure to imitate this gentle method, otherwise this patch will not have any effect.

With this, hitting Ctrl+C while `git log` is running will only terminate the Git process, but not the pager. This finally matches the behavior on Linux and on macOS.
