1. abort() in translated programs
Hello all,
my programs often begin like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------->8-------
include msgbox.e
constant CMD = command_line()
procedure help()
integer void
void = message_box("Usage: myprog <infile>", "Info", MB_ICONINFORMATION)
abort(1) -- Same effect, whether abort() is placed here ...
end procedure
if length(CMD) != 3 then
help()
-- abort(1) -- ... or here.
end if
-- Here goes the main program ...
-------------------------------------------------------------->8-------
Using the interpreter (2.3 or 2.4 Beta), this snippet runs as expected.
Using the translator (2.3 or 2.4 Beta), and the Borland C++ 5.5
Command-line Compiler, at the end of the program a console window pops
up, with one blank line, and "Press Enter..." on the second line.
I'm just making my first steps with the translator. What happens here?
TIA, and best regards,
Juergen

There may be a slight incompatibility there.
What happens if you say:
abort(0)
instead of
abort(1)
As I recall, the Translator may have an extra feature
where it gives you a prompt when the abort code is
non zero, before it closes the window.

3. abort() in translated programs
Hello Rob,
in the 2.5 alpha version of the translator, there is still that glitch
concerning abort(). When the argument to abort() is not 0, translated
programs are not compatible with interpreted programs. When the
following program:
puts(1, "Hello!")
abort(1)
is interpreted, it terminates immediately, as expected.
When translated and compiled, a console window pops up, showing a
blank line, and "Press Enter..." on the next line, waiting for the
user pressing [Enter], before the window closes.
So currently I cannot use arguments other than 0 to abort() like I want
in translated programs.
I would appreciate it very much, if abort() would work in translated
programs the same way as in interpreted programs.
Regards,
Juergen

Have you read a good program lately?

OK. Thanks for reminding me. I'll look into it.

Ah, using 'abort(0)' the translated program is compatible with the
interpreted program. Thanks.
