But > quite possibly that correspondence could be improved. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that there *should* be a one-to-one correspondence between messages and options. Options should, I think, be more stable than diagnostic messages. Changing options can break build scripts (which is why they're not localized). Diagnostic messages are primarily intended for immediate human consumption. I don't have specific examples, but I can imagine a command-line option that affects multiple different diagnostic messages, which might be split for greater precision. > it's reasonable to say it's a bit unfair to use have identifiers that > are terms in English, I don't think it helps to have identifiers that > have no meaning in /any/ language.

On the other hand, if the option is off by default, then most users won't enable them, which would limit their usefulness. Visual Studio, if I'm not mistaken, always shows the unique codes.

But why keep anything non-meaningful? Meaningful codes help to understand scripts and configurations of tools; it is same as with usage of meaningful variable names. Our work is complicated enough to not obfuscate it with something meaningless. |

The idea is for each error message (which would be clearly written in English and/or other languages) to include a unique language-indepedent code. A hypothetical example: c.c:2:5: error: 'nosuchvar' undeclared (first use in this function) [CE4527] When a later version of gcc tweaks the wording of the body of the message, the error code remains the same. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com Working, but not speaking, for Philips Healthcare void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */ |

The only difference I see is you didn't capitalize a letter. That page doesn't mention it, but you can refer yourself. That way you get both time spent on your project and the referral bonus. Brian |
