* With bad arguments, the assembler returns 1 to the OS. Peachy. * Upon success, the assembler returns the status 0 to the OS and will write the bytecode as requested. * Upon failure, the assembler returns the status 0 to the OS and writes some bytecode. No telling how healthy that bytecode is. Makes it tough to write a harness during testing. IMHO, the assembler should (at least) return a different exit code for bytecode not fully assembled. Optimally, it shouldn't even write out the partial bytecode.
