It would be nice if the build process would use the return value from pre/post compile/link commands.  For example, a post-compile command might invoke a batch file that ran a static analysis tool (like LINT), processed the output, and returned zero for 'okay', and non-zero for 'not-okay'.  The 'not-okay' return value could then be used to automatically abort the build, forcing the user to fix their source code before allowing the build to continue.  Similarly, a pre-link command might invoke a regression test (like unit tests, for example), and return similar values to abort the build and not allow a link to occur until the regression test(s) pass too.

  I've just tried this with the latest version of CrossWorks for ARM (2.0.10) and the post compile and link commands do in fact do this.

  It looks like there is a bug with the pre compile and link commands as it continues to carry out the compile/link and then fails. This will be fixed in the next release.
