The value passed to exit() is the same as a value returned by main().
exit() is defined to be called when main() returns, but whether or not this
actually happens and is detectable will vary between implementations (you
will not see this behavior with gcc).

You likely won't, because it's not good programming practice and is
forbidden by ANSI C++.
