translation and linking, nor do they interfere with
any output files.
Error messages report syntactic or semantic misuse of C. The
compiler always displays error messages. Errors
do not stop translation but do suppress object
code for the module containing the error. Errors
also prevent linking.
Catastrophic error report occurrences of the
#error macro,
messages unrecognized command-line options, and file

catastrophic error ends compilation, the compiler
displays a termination message on the standard
error device.
Internal error If a compilation produces any internal errors,
messages contact Customer Support.
