exit code 128
 

upon completion of my project compiling the exe and dll's i received a "Process completed with exit code 128" what does this mean? I am compiling with borland C++ builder 5.

also, are there command line settings so that you do not have to manually tell the project to save.

I hit that in version 4.6a. Try updating to 5.0 if you haven't already (it's a no-charge update).

I am evaluating version 5.0 right now. didnt hit that error until i told it to wait until completed.

Hmm, an update to 4.6b fixed it for us. I'd be surprised if the bug has snuck back with 5.0.

A work around is to tag the step to ignore the failure and check to see that a file updated by the step has been updated.

When you say "save the project" do you mean the VBP project? You can get VBP to save the project when you execute it by setting an option on the build tag in the User Options dialog (Tools|User Options...).

when i say save i am talking about the c++ Builder project the .bpr

thanks for the help

This is drifting off topic a little, but there are Autosave options in C++ Builders Environment Options dialog (Tools|Environment Options...) on the Prefrences tab that may do what you want. I don't know of any command line control over the autosave options.

it seems to be saving now had the preferences checked but for some reason i get it sometimes but not all the times to show a message asking if i want to save.

I still am having the failure but it is making new files not sure why this issue is now showing up.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to get rid of the 128 error code? this is causing a lot of issues. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Still an issue?
 

Has anyone found a reasonable workaround for this yet?
