The linker honors certain C/C++ compiler options to control linker-generated diagnostics. The diagnostic options must be specified before the --run_linker option.
| --diag_error=num | Categorize the diagnostic identified by num as an error. To find the numeric identifier of a diagnostic message, use the --display_error_number option first in a separate link. Then use --diag_error=num to recategorize the diagnostic as an error. You can only alter the severity of discretionary diagnostics. |
| --diag_remark=num | Categorize the diagnostic identified by num as a remark. To find the numeric identifier of a diagnostic message, use the --display_error_number option first in a separate link. Then use --diag_remark=num to recategorize the diagnostic as a remark. You can only alter the severity of discretionary diagnostics. |
| --diag_suppress=num | Suppress the diagnostic identified by num. To find the numeric identifier of a diagnostic message, use the --display_error_number option first in a separate link. Then use --diag_suppress=num to suppress the diagnostic. You can only suppress discretionary diagnostics. |
| --diag_warning=num | Categorize the diagnostic identified by num as a warning. To find the numeric identifier of a diagnostic message, use the --display_error_number option first in a separate link. Then use --diag_warning=num to recategorize the diagnostic as a warning. You can only alter the severity of discretionary diagnostics. |
| --display_error_number | Display a diagnostic's numeric identifier along with its text. Use this option in determining which arguments you need to supply to the diagnostic suppression options (--diag_suppress, --diag_error, --diag_remark, and --diag_warning). This option also indicates whether a diagnostic is discretionary. A discretionary diagnostic is one whose severity can be overridden. A discretionary diagnostic includes the suffix -D; otherwise, no suffix is present. See the MSP430 Optimizing C/C++ Compiler User's Guide for more information on understanding diagnostic messages. |
| --emit_references:file [=filename] | Emits a file containing section information. The information includes section size, symbols defined, and references to symbols. This information allows you to determine why each section is included in the linked application. The output file is a simple ASCII text file. The filename is used as the base name of a file created. For example, --emit_references:file=myfile generates a file named myfile.txt in the current directory. |
| --emit_warnings_as_ errors | Treat all warnings as errors. This option cannot be used with the --no_warnings option. The --diag_remark option takes precedence over this option. This option takes precedence over the --diag_warning option. |
| --issue_remarks | Issue remarks (nonserious warnings), which are suppressed by default. |
| --no_warnings | Suppress warning diagnostics (errors are still issued). |
| --set_error_limit=num | Set the error limit to num, which can be any decimal value. The linker abandons linking after this number of errors. (The default is 100.) |
| --verbose_diagnostics | Provide verbose diagnostics that display the original source with line-wrap and indicate the position of the error in the source line |
