Gcc Stop On First Error

to make GCC stop on first gnu make stop on first error error From: Francesco Montorsi To: gcc at gcc dot gnu dot org makefile stop on first error Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:41:37 +0200 Subject: How to make GCC stop on first error Hi make stop on error all, I wonder if there is some option/flag I can feed to gcc to avoid that it continues compiling my source files after it encounters the first error... I've searched in gcc docs without success.

Makefile Ignore Error And Continue

This is very annoying when e.g. the first error is due to not finding a required header file: after that gcc goes on and spits out tons of errors about missing declarations for those things which are declared in the not-found header file. btw stopping on the first error is the default behaviour of many other compilers (e.g. M$, borland, watcom compilers on win32)...

This option is present in GCC 4.6 and later. The command-line option -Wfatal-errors directs the compiler to give up after one error. This option is present in GCC 4.0 and later. In both cases, warnings do not count toward the limit unless you also specify -Werror. share|improve this answer edited Feb 7 '15 at 21:28 answered Jul 11 '10 at 16:40 zwol 68.6k20116199 5 I'd give this +1 but for the statement about -Werror. I believe that warnings absolutely should be treated as if they were errors, because most warnings are an indication of buggy code. –greyfade Jul 11 '10 at 16:56 2 @greyfade, I also think warnings should generally be treated as must-fix, but unfortunately some of gcc's warnings may trigger or not depending on optimization level, the contents of the system headers, and any number of other things you can't control easily. Thus, you may get all the warnings out on your canonical build platform(s), but then some poor schmuck tries to build in a more exotic environment and it blows up. –zwol Jul 11 '10 at 17:57 1 @Zack, isn't that what -Wno-system-headers is for? –Sam Miller Jul 11 '10 at 18:52 1 @greyfade: The most commo

after the stop on first error? For example if i get 50 errors about undefined reference how would i get it to stop after the first library it stop on first couldnt find? Thanks Jan 18, 2011 at 2:42am UTC wolfgang (381) -Wfatal-errors in command line call, or add it to the options in your IDE call. Jan 18, 2011 at 2:54am UTC newbie43 (11) thanks Topic archived.

Clang builds on the LLVM optimizer and code generator, allowing it to provide high-quality optimization and code generation support for many targets. For more general information, please see the Clang Web Site or the LLVM Web Site. This document describes important notes about using Clang as a compiler for an end-user, documenting the supported features, command line options, etc. If you are interested in using Clang to build a tool that processes code, please see "Clang" CFE Internals Manual. If you are interested in the Clang Static Analyzer, please see its web page. Clang is designed to support the C family of programming languages, which includes C, Objective-C, C++, and Objective-C++ as well as many dialects of those.
