Arguments

Term

Definition

+ | -

Optional. By default, /warnaserror- is in effect; warnings do not prevent the compiler from producing an output file. The /warnaserror option, which is the same as /warnaserror+, causes warnings to be treated as errors.

numberList

Optional. Comma-delimited list of the warning ID numbers to which the /warnaserror option applies. If no warning ID is specified, the /warnaserror option applies to all warnings.

Remarks

The /warnaserror option treats all warnings as errors. Any messages that would ordinarily be reported as warnings are instead reported as errors. The compiler reports subsequent occurrences of the same warning as warnings.

By default, /warnaserror- is in effect, which causes the warnings to be informational only. The /warnaserror option, which is the same as /warnaserror+, causes warnings to be treated as errors.

If you want only a few specific warnings to be treated as errors, you may specify a comma-separated list of warning numbers to treat as errors.

Note

The /warnaserror option does not control how warnings are displayed. Use the /nowarn option to disable warnings.
