Async signal handling
Documentation
//! Signal registration for Windows.
//!
//! Windows on its own does not have a concept of signals; signal handling is instead done by the
//! Windows CRT, which Rust does not typically interact with. `signal-hook-registry` works by
//! interfacing with the CRT, which I'd argue is somewhat of an anti-pattern in Rust. Instead,
//! for this crate, let's take a look at the signals that Windows does have and how we can
//! leverage them without the CRT.
//!
//! The six signals that Windows defines are SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGABRT, SIGILL, SIGSEGV, and
//! SIGFPE. The CRT will return an error if you try to use any other signals. Of these six, only
//! SIGINT is usable for real life purposes.
//!
//! - SIGILL, SIGSEGV and SIGFPE are serious errors that are intended to crash the program. Users who
//!   listen for this signals will need to often run raw C functions (`longjmp`, direct address
//!   manipulation, etc etc) to accurately handle these signals. In other words, these aren't something
//!   that can really be handled using our `async` strategy!
//! - SIGABRT is internal to the CRT and is only raised when `libc::abort()` is called. This makes it
//!   somewhat of a futile exercise to listen for it in Rust, since `std::process::abort()` will
//!   not raise `SIGABRT` and will just abort the process directly.
//! - SIGTERM is never actually raised by Windows outside of the `libc::raise()` function.
//! - SIGINT corresponds to the `CTRL_C_EVENT` event handled by the `SetConsoleCtrlHandler` function.
//!   This is probably also the only signal that is actually useful to listen for.
//!
//! Therefore, all we need to do to properly handle signals on Windows is to just listen for the
//! `CTRL_C_EVENT` event. This is done by calling `SetConsoleCtrlHandler` with a callback function
//! that iterates through a linked list of registered callbacks and calls them.
