Compiler Option: -w

Set minimum warning level.

Syntax

Parameters

level

Warning messages only with a level equal or greater to this value will be output.

all

Equivalent to specifying a level of zero (0).

param

Warn when procedure parameters aren't specified with either ByVal or ByRef.

Escape

Warn when string literals contain any number of escape characters (\).

pedantic

Equivalent to specifying the param and Escape arguments.

Next

Warn when Next is followed by an identifier.

Description

The -w compiler option determines which compiler warnings, if any, are output. Each possible warning is associated with a warning level, starting from zero (0) and increasing with the potential problems that may occur. A significantly high level value will have the effect of suppressing all warning messages.

Note that the param, Escape, pedantic and Next arguments provide additional warnings not ordinarily output, even by default.

If the -w option is not specified, it's as if -w 0 was used. The -w option can be specified multiple times.
