USING PASCAL ON TOPS-20
If you omit the file specification, the object file defaults to the
name of the last source file, the default directory, and a file type
of REL. You cannot specify this switch in the source code.
You can disable this switch to suppress object code, for example, when
you want to test only the source program for compilation errors.
The default is /BINARY.
/CHECK
The /CHECK switch directs the compiler to generate co~e to perform
run-time checks. This code checks for ilJegal assignments to sets and
subranges, out-of-range array indices and case labels, and references
to NIL pointers. The system issues an error message and terminates
execution if any of these conditions occur.
When this switch is disabled, the compiler does not generate code
run-time checks. The default is /CHECK.
for
/CROSS-REFERENCE or /CREF
The /CROSS-REFERENCE switch produces a cross-reference listing of all
identifiers. The compiler generates separate cross-references for
each procedure and function. To get complete cross-reference listings
for a program, the switch must be in effect for all modules of the
program. This switch is ignored if no listing file is being
generated.
The default is /NOCROSS-REFERENCE.
You can specify this switch in the source code. Note, however, that
the cross-reference listing for a portion of a procedure or function
may be incomplete.
/DEBUG
The /DEBUG switch specifies that the compiler is to
information that can be used with run-time debugging.
generate
The default is /NODEBUG.
/ERROR-LIMIT:n
The /ERROR-LIMIT switch terminates compilation after the specified
number of errors, excluding warning-level errors, have been detected.
The default limit is 30 errors. If this switch is disabled,
compilation continues through the entire unit. You cannot specify
this switch in the source code.
The default is /ERROR-LIMIT:30.
Note that, after finding 20 errors (including warning messages) on any
one source line, the compiler generates error 255, Too Many Errors On
This Source Line. Compilation of the line continues, but no further
error messages are printed for that line.
/FLAG-NON-STANDARD
The /FLAG-NON-STANDARD switch tells the compiler
warning-level messages at each place where the
nonstandard PASCAL features.
