I've done the same for my own programs:
class ExitException : Exception
{
int status;
this(int _status, string file=__FILE__,
size_t line=__LINE__)
{
super(file,line);
status = _status;
}
}
void exit(int status=0) {
throw new ExitException(status);
}
int main(string[] args) {
try {
...
return 0;
} catch(ExitException e) {
return e.status;
} catch(Exception e) {
... // real exception here
return 1;
}
}
It works reasonably well for single-threaded program, but as the
following bug states, there's no nice way to terminate a multithreaded
program:

If you have any good ideas, please chime in on the bug report!
