//! C signal support on Windows.
//!
//! A big difference from POSIX platforms is the amount of signals that Windows supports. Signals on Windows are therefore much less useful than POSIX ones.
//!
//! # Signal safe C functions
//! The C standard specifies that calling any functions *other than those ones* from a signal hook **results in undefined behavior**:
//! - `abort`
//! - `_Exit`
//! - `quick_exit`
//! - `signal`, but only if it is used for setting a handler for the same signal as the one being currently handled
//! - atomic C functions, but only the ones which are lock-free (practically never used in Rust since it has its own atomics which use compiler intrinsics)
//! - `atomic_is_lock_free`
