Hi and thanks for the hint. I've determined that the following function defined in gcc/gcc.cc (in my understanding the source code related to g++) */* Determine what the exit code of the driver should be. */* *intdriver::get_exit_code () const { ... }* is responsible for the return value of g++. The "warningcount" macro evaluates from the diagnostic context the number of warnings generated in the compilation. The problem is that the warningcount macro evaluates correctly in cc1plus but always evaluates to 0 in g++, so it's not possible to solve the problem modifying only this function. So I think that the information about the warning count is lost from the diagnostic context of cc1plus and the diagnostic context available to g++. Given that g++ and cc1plus are different applications, I assume that cc1plus passes the diagnostic context back to g++ via some temporary file. And maybe the point could be to make cc1plus update also the warning count information in this file, so that it will be available to g++. Am I on the right track? If so, any hint on where cc1plus stores the diagnostic context in this temporary file for g++?

This will lead you to the correct places.
