This is related to this issue . Put the following into a script file.jl: function try_interrupt() while true try sleep(1) println("trying...") @async 1+1 catch e if typeof(e) <: InterruptException println("caught In…

Seems to work for me on (Windows) Julia 1.7.2 and Julia 1.8.0-beta3, i.e. not reproducible here. Sorry for not being helpful. Edit: try to clarify.

Despite you naming it try_segfault, I don’t think this is actually a segment[ation] fault, but that’s a nitpick (in your case, nor mine despite “unknown function (ip: (nil))” which I have and you don’t; I don’t think you would get a stack-trace, for a segfault?). You might want to open an issue abo…

Despite you naming it try_segfault, I don’t think this is actually a segment[ation] fault You are right, I edited the post What was the point of @async line? Good question, I don’t know… I got the code from here . I will do more tests both with and without it. I will open an issue about this.…

Because running a script does not throw InterruptException when you try to terminate it with CTRL-C (SIGINT) (docs) , you got the error even without @async line. To avoid it, use julia -i "file.jl" or julia -e 'include(popfirst!(ARGS))' file.jl. The @async line has to be there to have the error us…

Have you tried running julia --handle-signals=no to disable julia’s own signal handling?

I just tried with just released 1.10.0, julia --handle-signals=no -i file.jl and I get this error: trying... trying... ^CError: Maybe we should never reach this? Is this better? I honestly don’t know …

Thank you for the suggestion. I need to change Void to Cvoid to execute the file (is it correct?). But then the problem persists.

Perhaps try: ccall(:jl_exit_on_sigint, Nothing, (Cint,), 0)
