Error Messages
Cause. You gave a -set floattype or -change floattype option. The next token on the
command line must be either “tandem”, “ieee”, or “neutral” (or the longer synonyms
“tandem_float”, etc.), to tell the value for this attribute. However, the next token on the
command line was something other than these possibilities.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, fix the syntax.
Cause. You gave the -set floattype option more than once on the command line, with
different attribute values. (The possible values are “tandem”, “ieee”, and “neutral”, or
the longer synonyms “tandem_float”, etc.) You can give the option more than once,
but only if you specify the same (or a synonymous) value each time.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, decide which value you want to specify,
and only specify that value.
Cause. You gave the -set float_lib_overrule option more than once on the command
line, with different attribute values. (The possible values are “on” and “off”.) You can
give the option more than once, but only if you specify the same value each time.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, decide which value you want to specify,
and only specify that value.
Cause. You gave the -set highpin option more than once on the command line, with
different attribute values. (The possible values are “on” and “off”.) You can give the
option more than once, but only if you specify the same value each time.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If you want to specify this option, decide which value you want to specify,
and only specify that value.
