Why are all signals defined in separate structures for Windows?

[pseusys]

That actually looks really weird. All the signal structures in tokio::signal::windows:: are different. Still, all of them implement the same methods and have one field of the same type. Why was it possible to create a common type for signals on unix (tokio::signal::unix::Signal), but not on windows? Ok, maybe at least a common trait for recv and poll_recv methods?..

Is using Box<dyn Any> and then downcasting it to all the different signal types really the architecturally best way to use a common logic to handle different termination signals?..

It probably could have been one type, but it's too late to change that now.

Definitely not. Creating your own trait or enum would be way better than using dyn Any.
