Process.exitValue() only returns the low byte of the exit code?

Hi - I'm executing a subprocess and then waiting for it to return, and then examining the exit code of the subprocess. The error the subprocess returns is 0xb03, but exitValue() only sees 0x03. Further testing shows that if I return 0xbff from my native process, exitValue() or waitFor() will only return 0xff. I expanded this further to return 0xfffffbff, and sure enough, the Process methods only return 0xff.
Anyone know what the deal is here? The return type for exitValue() and waitFor() are both 'int', so it seems reasonable to be able to return values up to 0xffffffff. Is there a way to set this up to sue the full int?
Thanks for any insight.

OK, that explains it. I think we had taken the fact that main() returns and int on *NIX that you could return anything that fit in an int into the exit code.  I've now found some corroboration that you can only return a value of 0-255.
This also explains why we have never seen this issue on Windows - apparently you can return much larger values on Windows.
Thanks for the assist!

  • Text in fillable text form gets cut off and appears only in the lower half of the text form?

    I'm trying to create a text-fillable PDF form. However, when I add a text form, the text I test in it gets cut off and appears only in the lower half of the text form by default (see 2nd photo below). How do I correct this and make the text take up ALL the space in the form like the 1st photo?

    Have you set the text field properties options to multiline? Is so, please attach a screen shot of that dialog box so we can see how it is set.

  • Vertical lines on the lower part of the screen

    Hello Ma’am/Sir!
    Lines have appeared in the lower part of the screen and I do not know how to fix this. This is the third time it happened. The first and second time it happened, the lines were suddenly gone several weeks after. I want to know what is the main cause of this problem and how would it be fixed. Thanks!

    I took my laptop to Staples and I bought a new one. The Tech plugged my old computer into an external monitor and the problem was not there. Wow. I bought the new computer and when I got home and rebooted the old computer, the problem was gone...........I'm not saying that plugging in the external monitor was the solution but something changed. Anyway, I would try plugging it into another monitor, or the tv or something just to eliminate that issue. Who knows. I'm keeping the new computer because it was a really good deal (wanted windows  7 pro), plus you say that the problem will show up again. Crazy.

  • The lower row in the dropdown menu

    So, all of a sudden, the lower row in the drop down menu is just inaccessible. No matter how much I try to click on it, nothing happens. Also, if I rotate the device the whole drop down menu is not accessible, it's been really annoying and I don't know what to do about it.
    Note: there's nothing wrong with the screen, as it does work elsewhere, other than at the drop down menu.

    I guess i had the same problem but I assumed it was happening because of low battery mode enabled http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Compact/Notification-panel-switch-bug/m-p/993195#U993195
    And after device rebooted everything goes back to normal.

  • Ver16.0.2..How can I get rid of an annoying pop up in the lower left of the screen that is difficult to remove. I t began with an update last week.

    The pop up appears with every new tab. It has an extremely small delete "X" icon if you can find it...The pop up interferes visually with every tab and must be carefully manually deleted each time. It is always located in the lower left bottom of the screen. It is a window about 3 inches square. It began last week with an automatic download. I want it removed or I will be swiftly returning to Explorer or perhaps Google Chrome...Thanking you in advance

  • Any fix for the low volume on the Nexus yet?

    Volume is really low have been buying new ring tones that are louder in an attempt to hear phone, but no hope for the notifications.... Did not have this issue with other phones.. Any suggestions?

    I have Volume + too, primarily for the phone speaker which is nearly inaudible depending on the source video you're watching. It does noticeably increase the volume at the speaker, though bass through this app doesn't work on ICS, at least for now, but I'll take the volume boost over the bass boost.

  • Under firefox 4 i no longer see the padlock icon in the lower right of the screen when i log onto a secure site

    The padlock icon is no longer visible for any site that requires a login

    One of the main principles of Human Computer Interaction [HCI] is that there should be immediate visibility to the system's status. Forcing the user to "click" the identity site key and try to locate the lock-pad encryption icon is poor design. The icon has become a default standard expectation of the INTERNET user community across browsers. Internet Explorer, of which, I'm not a fan - has done away with a bottom bar, yet retained the padlock in the top right of the menu bar [it is conditionally displayed only when the site is secure]. Firefox has made a fundamental UI mistake, and amazingly trumped by the generally inferior Microsoft team. Don't follow the FF team and parrot the propaganda - 'yea we screwed up but you can determine the same thing by taking several extra steps- because we are FF team and you are just the peon users". Death of the open source community?

  • The Low-Down on the MacBook Pro

    Ok kids, i want the truth.
    I want the good the bad the great and the ugly of MacBook Pro.
    Overall i love all the things that Apple says about it, im going to buy it as my first Mac ever, no matter what yall say.
    But i have heard quite a few complaints/problems with this machine.
    Let me list off some and have yall help me list the rest, i want to make this a one stop place for people with MBP problems.

    answer- try not to install version que
    2) Battery Problems
    a) Processor issue when your battery is out
    b) Shutdowns
    c) Distortion with the casing
    answer- get a new battery from Apple... they will get this problem right eventually b/c they care about there customers
    3) Intel Processor
    a) Most all programs (run thro an Emulator... rosetta) will be slower, b/c they are in Mac format
    answer- deal with it, till the Universal Format comes out

    Once again, i didnt do this to bash Apple... b/c i still love you guys!! and am going to buy your MBP.
    Thanks,
    Aaron Fischer

    Hi Rick
    Yes you are right, cases like mine are rare and Apple products are very good and OSX is a very good OS for a desktop system.
    But my own experience indicates that maybe quality control for Mac laptops could be better perhaps. And it took Apple a long time to admit that the memory slot RAM problem with the PB existed.
    My problem is that I am living in Spain away from my home base in UK at the moment and am completely reliant on my computer - whatever brand that might be. I used a Mac SE30 years ago with no problem, had to go over to You Know What for work reasons but came back to Apple because for what I do (photographs) it is (and remains) the best platform.
    The people in tech support and customer service I have dealt with have been exemplary, probably the best I have ever dealt with in 20 years of dealing with IT support.
    But I just cannot rely on my Macbook Pro. An exceptional experience perhaps but unfortunately it is mine But there does seem to be quite a few people who have returned faulty MBPs several times.
    Bottom line is when I pay someone the equivalent of $5,000 or so for something I expect it to be reasonably reliable, be that a car, a camera or a computer.

  • What is the significance of the percent and dimensions in the lower-left of the PSE9 screen?

    I have a picture on my screen.   It measures about 9 1/2" by 6".  How do these numbers relate to each other, and why am I involved with something that measures about 4 feet by 2 1/2 feet?  Is it that size based solely on the pixel setting on the camera?  Can I deduce something about print quality from this information?
    Obviously, I need help.

    mww-
    As far as National Instruments is concerned, there isn't going to be much (if any) support under DOS for our PCI, cPCI, and PXI products. PCI and PXI (which is basically an extension of cPCI) are currently our primary platforms, and they will be supported well into the future under current operating systems like Windows 2000.
    As far as cost goes, PCI and PXI are pretty comparable in most cases. You can get exact prices for different National Instruments' modules at http://www.ni.com/store

    CoreyKat,
    If you select the artwork and select one of the bottom Reference Points in the Transform palette, is the Y value an integer?
    If not, what happens if you move the artwork so that it is?
