--- Comment #5 from janus at gcc dot gnu.org --- (In reply to janus from comment #2) > Since it seems that execute_command_line always sets a return value for the > exitstat argument, one probably does not need to check against an initial > value at all: Sorry, I'm afraid that's actually not true. exitstat is not being set in all situations (e.g. for asynchronous execution, i.e. with WAIT=.false.). Therefore the patch in comment #2 is wrong and we're back to the question from comment #1: > What's a suitable value for estat_initial?
