halt

Option Type	Default Value	#pragma options	C	C++
-qoption	halt=s	HALT=severity	x	x

Syntax

    -qhalt=severity 
    HALT=severity

Purpose
Instructs the compiler to stop after the compilation phase when it encounters errors of specified severity or greater.

Notes
severity is one of:

severity Description

i Information

w Warning

e Error

s Severe error

u Unrecoverable error

When the compiler stops as a result of the -qhalt option, the compiler return code is nonzero.

When -qhalt is specified more than once, the lowest severity level is used.

The -qhalt option can be overridden by the -qmaxerr option.

Diagnostic messages may be controlled by the -qflag option.

Example
To compile myprogram.c so that compilation stops if a warning or higher level message occurs, enter:

xlC myprogram.c -qhalt=w
