  That isn't any old nothing, that's specifically a "no error message" kind of
nothing.  Nothing was output to the terminal, but a file called 'a.exe' was
output to the current directory.

  Type "echo $?" to see the exit status of the gcc command:

/artimi/chips/earn/block/rom $ g++ hello.cc
/artimi/chips/earn/block/rom $ echo $?
0
/artimi/chips/earn/block/rom $ ./a.exe
Hello, world
/artimi/chips/earn/block/rom $


    cheers,
      DaveK
