A fatal error willproduce a non-zero exit code.SETTING THE SEVERITY LEVELThe diagnostic messages can be suppressed or the severity level can be changed for alldiagnostics messages, except for fatal errors and some of the regular errors.See Compiler options summary, page 142, for a description of the compiler options thatare available for setting severity levels.See the chapter Pragma directives, for a description of the pragma directives that areavailable for setting severity levels.INTERNAL ERRORAn internal error is a diagnostic message that signals that there has been a serious andunexpected failure due to a fault in the compiler.

Include enoughinformation to reproduce the problem, typically:●●●●●●The product nameThe version number of the compiler, which can be seen in the header of the list filesgenerated by the compilerYour license numberThe exact internal error message textThe source file of the application that generated the internal errorA list of the options that were used when the internal error occurred.138MSP430 IAR C/C++ CompilerReference Guide
