[Feature Request] - if possible, terminal/console should report errors when compiled program cannot run.

Ran into an unexpected issue the other day, which I've already mostly documented here in #1476

But TLDR'

• Started making a console based application to get acquainted with the language.
• Ran into an issue where a missing .dll was causing my application to fail upon starting.
  • No exit codes, no errors, nothing
  • Only output I was getting was the launch message (after running clean-run)
• Compared things with a console app built from a CLion C console app template.
  • For some reason, I got a pop up error from Windows stating that a .dll was missing which ended up solving my original problem.

I should note that in the CLion test project, I was using the IDE to build/launch the program instead of doing things on the command line. I only got the error message when running things through the IDE. When trying to run the built executable from the command line, I saw the same behavior like in the C3 version.

I don't know what CLion is doing behind the scenes but given that I was seeing the same behavior from both programs when running from the command line, it feels like my original issue is probably expected behavior so I wouldn't consider this a super high priority issue.

That said, it'd be nice if it were possible to add some kind of error message or at the very least, an exit code.
