    Yes beacause it automaticly returns EXIT_SUCCESS

    Although I own code::blocks and Dev, I prefer dev when doing small programs, I dont have
    to create a new project it my program will contain only the one file

    Dev broke on me and no longer functioned, so now I use Code::Blocks for projects and g++ and nano under cygwin for those I don't want to create a project for.

    Despite any possible comments, dev is still a good tool. I have it installed and use it for:

    . Building open source distributions
    . Answers on these forums
    . Separate compilation to test snippets of code of my current project
    . One file compilations

    It's always up and running along with SlickEdit. It's very light on my system, quick to use, and makes for an excellent support tool.
