Evidently it has not been much of a practical problem all these years.It's hard to know whether it's been a problem. Maybe emacs would be more responsive to C-g on Cygwin if we removed the #ifdef from handle_async_input. My preference would be to try that (on master of course) and see if anything breaks. Eli, WDYT?Sure, feel free to install such a change on master.
Done.
I don't know how many Cygwin users track the Emacs master branch, but if there are more than a couple, perhaps even provide a variable exposed to Lisp that users could tweak to see the result without rebuilding and without leaving the session.
Good idea. I think I'll wait a couple weeks so that I can see how the change works myself, as well as to see if anyone notices. But then I might do that. For now I'm closing the bug.
