Recording Compiler Errors

JMJ_coder · 04-02-2008, 05:10 PM

Hello,

I was just working on a program and I went to compile it and I got a whole slew of errors. There were so many that I the term window would scroll up that far. I did fix the errors, it turned out to be a couple of namespace errors and an extra semi-colon.

My question is how would I set the command to see all the errors. I tried to pipe it through more:

Code:

% g++ stdin_to_tree.cc | more

and I tried to redirect it to a file:

Code:

% g++ stdin_to_tree.cc > errlog

but those didn't work. So how could I either display the errors paginated on the screen or redirected to an error file?

They are errors... try to redirect the standard error to a file

Code:

g++ stdin_to_tree.cc 2> errlog

or pipe after redirecting standard error to standard output

Code:

g++ stdin_to_tree.cc 2>&1 | more

Thanks. For some reason, I thought the compiler errors were standard output instead of standard error.

I use the TCSH, so to redirect standard error is:

Code:

g++ stdin_to_tree.cc >& errlog

Thanks for the help.
