Exit batch script from inside a function

Question

Hello,

I have a problem with my batch file. It builds several programs automatically by doing something like this:

• set some compilation flags
• run 'gmake all'
• call the "check error level" function and if errorlevel 1, exit

So it looks like this:

set FLAG=1
...
gmake all
call :interactive_check
set OTHERFLAG=1
...
gmake all
call :interactive_check

There's 6 or 7 of these (and it might grow). So I made a function to check errorlevel instead of copy/pasting it at every step. The problem is this: the error checking is made through a function:

:interactive_check
if errorlevel 1 (
echo.
echo /!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\
echo Error in compilation process... exiting
echo /!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\/!\
echo.
cd %root_dir%
exit /B 1
) ELSE (
echo.Continuing to next step
)
goto:eof

Now, when running it, the exit /B 1 simply exits the function, but not the batch file.

Do you know how to exit the complete batch file without having to copy/paste my "if errorlevel 1.." at every step?
