One use: The Delphi compiler sets a result code based on whether the
compilation worked or failed.
At the moment I have to detect success/failure based on whether specific
output files are created.
Another use:
I need to check that certain characteristics of the executables are
consistent. For Delphi applications, I need to check the version number
matches that of the build process run.
If exec returned the error code, I could easily return a match/nomatch
result to ANT from my checking exe.
FYI:
The standard for this (inherited all the way from CPM!) is zero for no
error, any other number identifies the error found.
Hope this helps,
Bevan.
