Implementation-Defined Behavior of TNS C
•
A single struct or union can have 127 members.
•
A single enumeration can have 127 enumeration constants.
•
A single structure declaration can have 15 levels of nested structure or union
definitions.
Implementation-Defined Behavior of TNS C
The ISO standard for C allows implementations to vary in specific instances. This
subsection describes the implementation-defined behavior of TNS C. This subsection
corresponds to Annex G.3 of the ISO C standard or Appendix F of the ANSI C
standard.
G.3.1 Translation
Each nonempty sequence of white-space characters, other than newline, is retained.
The form of the diagnostic messages displayed by the TNS compiler is such that the
source line is displayed first, followed by a line of the form: file name line diagnostic-
type: diagnostic message. For example:
100 foo ();
**** \prune.$data.test.testc 100 Warning 95:
prototype function declaration not in scope: “foo”
There are different classes of messages. They are:
ERROR
WARNING
The translator return status code for each class of message is:
0 = Normal, voluntary termination with no errors or warnings.
1 = Normal, voluntary termination with warning diagnostics.
2 = Abnormal, voluntary termination with warning diagnostics.
The level of diagnostic can be controlled. Control takes these form:
•
For ERROR, the ERRORS pragma directs the compiler to terminate compilation if it
detects more than a specified number of errors. If the ERRORS pragma is not used,
the compiler completes a compilation regardless of the number of errors it
diagnoses.
•
For WARNING, the WARN pragma controls the generation of all or selected warning
messages. The WARN pragma enables the compiler to generate all or a selected
set of warning messages, and the NOWARN pragma disables the compiler from
generating all or a selected set of warning messages. The compiler defaults to
WARN, which enables all warning messages.
