Method Reporter()->report()

Method report

void report(SeverityLevel severity, string filename, int(0..) linenumber, string subsystem, string message, mixed ... extra_args)

Description

Report a diagnostic from the compiler.

Parameter severity

The severity of the diagnostic.

Parameter filename

Parameter linenumber

Location which triggered the diagnostic. linenumber 0 (zero) indicates that it is not applicable (typically originating from command line arguments or similar).

Parameter subsystem

Compiler subsystem that generated the diagnostic.

Parameter message

sprintf()-style formatting string with the diagnostic message.

Parameter extra_args

Extra arguments to sprintf().

The default implementation does the following:

• If there's a MasterObject()->report(), call it with the same arguments as ourselves.

• Otherwise depending on severity:

  NOTICE	Ignored.
  WARNING	Calls MasterObject()->compile_warning().
  ERROR	Calls MasterObject()->compile_error().
  FATAL

If there's no master object yet, the diagnostic is UTF8-encoded and output to Stdio.stderr.

Note

In Pike 7.8 and earlier MasterObject()->report() was not called.

In Pike 8.0 the fallback output was not UTF8-encoded.
