Ok, I've got Cygwin set up (though I'm just using the prebuilt Cygwin
Emacs for now). I can confirm that the following hangs until I send
another EOF via `C-c C-d':
echo hi | rev
However, if I evaluate the following first, the above command works just
fine:
(add-to-list 'eshell-needs-pipe "rev")
Normally, Eshell starts each process using ptys to control them.
However, the above Elisp code tells Eshell to use a pipe for "rev"[1].
I'm not totally clear on all the subtleties here, but it seems to me
that it would make more sense for rev to use a pipe for its stdin and a
pty for its stdout. That's not possible with subprocesses in Emacs
though (as far as I know).
However, I don't think this fully answers things, since I also see
inconsistent results if I run "echo hi | rev" a bunch of times.
Sometimes it prints "ih" and then I need to hit `C-c C-d` once to stop
it. Other times it doesn't print anything and I need to hit `C-c C-d'
twice. There must be some kind of race condition, maybe in Emacs's
src/process.c?
Hopefully this helps get us closer to a proper answer here though...
[1] Only when rev is being piped *to* in an Eshell pipeline.
