5.1.2 Options for getting feedback

-vxxx

Be verbose. xxx is a combination of the following :

• e : Tells the compiler to show only errors. This option is on by default.
• i : Tells the compiler to show some general information.
• w : Tells the compiler to issue warnings.
• n : Tells the compiler to issue notes.
• h : Tells the compiler to issue hints.
• i : Tells the compiler to issue informational messages.
• l : Tells the compiler to show the line numbers as it processes a file. Numbers are shown per 100.
• u : Tells the compiler to print information on the units it loads.
• t : Tells the compiler to print the names of the files it tries to open.
• p : Tells the compiler to print the names of procedures and functions as it is processing them.
• c : Tells the compiler to warn you when it processes a conditional.
• m : Tells the compiler to write which macros are defined.
• d : Tells the compiler to write other debugging info.
• 0 : Tells the compiler to write no messages. This is useful when you want to override the default setting in the configuration file.
• b : Tells the compiler to show all procedure declarations if an overloaded function error occurs.
• x : Tells the compiler to output some executable info (for Win32 platform only).
• r : Rhide/GCC compatibility mode: formats the errors differently, so they are understood by RHIDE.
• a : Tells the compiler to write all possible info. (this is the same as specifying all options)
• v write a file fpcdebug.txt with lots of debugging info. Mainly for the compiler developers.
• p write a file tree.log with the parse tree. Mainly for the compiler developers.
