There is the ctest downside, but there is an option around that (see below). Thanks for your guidance on this matter which I will follow. Note to all testers here. This decision about no status code upon plend for plabort means that ctest will not be able to tell automatically that there was a plabort call from one of our standard examples (presumably due to something wrong with the build as in the recent example that started this thread). Fortunately, the ctest -verbose option allows you to view all PLplot messages so it is essential to use that option for correct testing of a build with ctest. > > Finally, there is the messages associated with plabort and plexit.
