That I should have noticed :-). In unix, the return result of the
'fpexecve' call is not checked, at least. If it returns, it does
'halt(127)', so should I check the ExitStatus being 127 ?
The reason is that because of the fork/vfork construct these OS'es use,
there is no way to report an error to the parent process except by exit
codes.
But how about windows ? I see it raises an exception, so that's the
origin of Michael's reply I guess. This makes TProcess non-uniform
cross-platform :-(. Can it be improved ? Either have a documented 127
exitcode (for windows too), or raise an exception in unix for exitcode 127 ?
