flag

Option Type Default Value #pragma options C C++
-qoption flag=i:i FLAG=severity1:severity2 x x

Syntax

    -qflag=severity1:severity2 
    FLAG=severity1:severity2 

Purpose
Specifies the minimum severity level of diagnostic messages to be reported in a listing and displayed on a terminal. The diagnostic messages display with their associated sub-messages.

Notes

severity1 Message level reported in listing
severity2 Message level reported on terminal

You must specify a level for both severity1 and severity2.

Diagnostic messages have the following severity levels:

severity Description
i Information
w Warning
e Error
s Severe error
u Unrecoverable error

Specifying informational messages does not turn on the -qinfo option.

Example
To compile myprogram.c so that the listing shows all messages that were generated and your workstation displays only error and higher messages (with their associated information messages to aid in fixing the errors), enter:

xlC myprogram.c -qflag=I:E
