[LLVMdev] CommandLine handling of -help and -version options
Tools that use the LLVM CommandLine library seem to exit 1 when called with -version or -help. This is strange and inconsistent with most command line tools. Is there a reason we exit 1? Is anyone relying on this behaviour?

Me neither. This is probably my fault, feel free to fix it. -Chris On Feb 27, 2014, at 1:34 PM, Chandler Carruth <chandlerc at google.com> wrote:> I can't imagine a good reason for this. > > > On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 1:26 PM, Justin Bogner <mail at justinbogner.com> wrote: > Tools that use the LLVM CommandLine library seem to exit 1 when called > with -version or -help.
