Subject: | getting more information on_exit |
Does anyone know if it's possible to get more information from the on_exit call? Right now, the on_exit call just gets unit. It would be useful, for example, to get the exit code. That would allow one to distinguish between an ordinary exit and an exceptional one. The context in which I'm looking at this is ocamlmpi. Right now, ocamlmpi calls the MPI finalize function on exit. This is all well and good in normal situations, but when an unexpected exception is thrown, it would be better to call the abort function. If I could distinguish between different kinds of exits, this would be easy to implement. Yaron
