main() return value

[mbndr]

Hey there,
I'm playing with gravity for a while now and I really like it :)
But what I wonder is if the return value of the main() function shouldn't be the return value of the program, so if I write return 5; I assume the program to exit with error code 5. Maybe It's my fault or it's a design decision.
Nice project, have a good time

Hi, main returns a value in a C program, Gravity simply uses a different convention, it returns what the user decides to return explicitly.

Ok, is there a way to exit with a specific code? Something like System.exit(5)?

[marcobambini]

From where?
From the gravity command line utility?
Or from the main function in your c code?
Or you would need a way to abort execution and call c exit function?

I want to abort the execution in my gravity code so that my last exit code in my shell ($?) gets that.

I just added a System.exit(n) method: db7c9eb

Very nice, thanks :)
