The EXIT_SUCCESS constant and some others are present in StdLibTypes.inc for Android and OSX:

  • $(BDS)\source\rtl\posix\android\StdLibTypes.inc

  • $(BDS)\source\rtl\posix\osx\StdLibTypes.inc

const
  RAND_MAX = $7FFFFFFF;
  {$EXTERNALSYM RAND_MAX}
  EXIT_FAILURE = 1;
  {$EXTERNALSYM EXIT_FAILURE}
  EXIT_SUCCESS = 0;
  {$EXTERNALSYM EXIT_SUCCESS}

But they are not present for Linux.

  • $(BDS)\source\rtl\posix\linux\StdLibTypes.inc

Is this merely an oversight, or is there some valid reasoning behind it?

  • Most stdlib calls return -1 for error, so I guess OS X needs an additional one that returns zero/one. Perhaps one outside the libc in OSX specific libs. Commented Jul 3 at 6:46
