A. Fatal Errors
Compiler error messages appear in a straightforward format
showing
the line
number in
which
the error occurs and the text
of
the message:
"name.c", line
n:
<error message>
Any
of
the errors
shown
in this section cause the compiler to abort imme-
diately. Text enclosed in single or double quotes in these error messages
is
replaced
with
actual text from the program,
your
own
symbols, filenames,
memory allocations, etc.
error: cannot allocate sufficient memory
The compiler requires a minimum
of
512K bytes
of
memory to run; this
message indicates a lack
of
necessary memory. Supply more dynamic
RAM.
error: can't open "filename"
as
source
The compiler
cannot
find the file name
as
entered. Check for spelling
errors; check
for
the existence
of
the file named.
error: can't open
"filename"
as
intermediate file
The compiler cannot create the
output
file. This
is
usually caused by ei-
ther
an
error in the syntax
of
the filename
or
a full disk.
error: illegal extension
"ext"
on
output
file
The intermediate file cannot have a
".c"
extension.
·····fatal
errors found: no intermediate file produced
This message
is
printed after
an
unsuccessful compilation. Correct the
errors (other messages
will
indicate particular errors) and try compilation
again.
cannot recover from earlier errors: goodbyel
An error has occurred
that
prevents the compiler from continuing.
