Nonfatal Errors
Nonfatal Errors
Characteristics of nonfatal errors:
•
Prevent ld from doing the task that it was asked to do
•
Do not cause ld to stop immediately, but prevent it from creating a complete object
file
•
Cannot be suppressed
Note that the first two error messages at the start of this section are more like 10000
numbered messages in that the effect is an abend. The 20000 numbered messages
are however primarily intended for non-fatal errors.
Cause. ld encountered at least one linkfile with IEEE floattype and at least one linkfile
with TANDEM floattype; and no -set floattype was specified.
Effect. ld abends.
Recovery. Either set the floattype (by using the set floattype command) or ensure that
the linkfile floattypes are consistent.
Cause. ld encountered a linkfile with the UNUSED_FLOAT floattype, which is not
legal.
Effect. ld abends.
Recovery. Correct the specified linkfile floattype.
Note. In this subsection, error messages are as they appear on Guardian and OSS platforms;
that is, they begin with this string:
**** ERROR **** [number]
On a PC, error messages begin with this string:
ld: ERROR **** [number]
**** ERROR **** [20005]:
Attempted to link together object files with inconsistent
FLOATTYPE attributes (both IEEE_FLOAT and TANDEM_FLOAT).
**** ERROR **** [20006]:
Object file 'name' has an invalid FLOATTYPE attribute
UNUSED_FLOAT.
