 > Just use POSIX exit(3)!


I did switch my code:

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
 exit(x);
#else
 ExitProcess(x);
#endif
.

I think the problem is actually in how "Cygwin bash"
aka Cygwin, computes the exit code in exec/spawn/system.

I.e. it recognizes it is running a Cygwin exe or a native
exe and does things differently.

I admit I didn't read or debug much.

In one run I was debugging I did seem to see a crash
in some DllMain(process detach), without symbols, and then I seemed to see
ExitProcess(1 or 2) become ExitProcess(0xXX00) and
then I started wondering if Cygwin somewhere is only
taking the lower 8 bits, since I know that is a thing in some code.

But I didn't dig into this further before trying the simple case,
which I don't think crashes and really does NtTerminateProcess(1).

Just use POSIX exit(3)!

Cygwin installs at-exit handlers and it is likely that when these have
finished, they return a Cygwin exit status if passed by the POSIX
function, perhaps unless some error has occurred during at-exit handling.
