Hi, are there any plans to support signals? I mean, something to handle interrupts and such. Or is something already there? The only way I know to do that is (in C) with signal(), but is it doable in D? By the way, if Windows doesn't send SIGINT to programs, how can I handle Ctrl+C?

I don't know if catching ctrl+c is such a good idea in windows, at least not
if you are planning on using it in the same way it's used in the command
line.  I think people would get annoyed if their program closed everytime
they went to copy a bit of text.
That being said, the best way I know how to do it is to use the
RegisterHotKey function, then handle the WM_HOTKEY message.

i've made a quick and dirty port of signal.h and included it.  put it in dmd\src\phobos\c, then use it like this:

/+
you probably know how to do this already, but just in case you get bitten by
the extern (C) bit like I did <slaps forehead> :-)
+/

import c.signal;

void main()
{
    signal(SIGINT, &blah);
    while(1)
    {
    }
}

extern (C) void blah(int sig)
{
    printf("bye");
    raise(SIGTERM);
}

Well, yes that's what I want: for a console application. (probably I
should've specified that before)
