TIL about the console signaling stuff, good to know. I am aware of SEH but that seemed a little too in the weeds for this discussion since that's as you say akin to SIGSEGV

The NT kernel was all built to emulate object orientation (read Smalltalk, not C++) style message passing. That's because it was the 90s, and it's the new technology kernel.

So yeah, expect everything to have more flexibility sending data around, and no standardization at all so you can't have any generic functionality.
