    True, that is surprising and makes everything worse. It’s probably controlled by a setting that none of those engineers knows how to change, based on the lack of knowledge described here.

      My guess is that a stack trace is being generated, but something further down the chain is consuming it, realizes there’s an error, and just throws -1 instead of the stack trace itself.

      Something like

      try {
          compileThisDamnProgram()
      } catch Exception {
          return -1
      }
