I'm not sure if we're talking at cross purposes here. My expectation was exactly what you describe: after hitting the error, I was expecting to see a non-zero return code from the compiled executable, that being the expected "implementation defined status ... that indicates unsuccessful execution". The problem I am trying to report / get help with is that, in my simple test case, the exit status is 0, which on Cygwin I would interpret to mean *successful* execution. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
