24.1.5 Suppress Warnings

The −w option suppresses the printing of warning and informational messages. Normally the compiler prints errors,

warnings, and informational messages. Error messages are always printed and cannot be suppressed. This option can

be useful if your module has a lot of errors and warnings and you want to concentrate the on errors only. Section

#suilmsgs describes the different types of messages in more detail.

24.1.6 Machine Listing

The −m option tells the compiler to print the information written to the UID file along with the module listing. This

option has no effect unless the −v option is also used. The option was probably intended to help debug the compiler. It

is useful for determining exactly how the compiler interprets a particular statement and approximately how much

storage is used for each definition in the module. If a module contains errors, the compiler cannot generate a machine

listing because it doesn't generate a UID file.

24.1.7 Use WML Description

The −wmd option directs the compiler to load an alternate widget set description from a compiled Widget

Meta−Language (WML) description file. The format of this option is −wmd filename. By default, the compiler uses a

set of built−in tables that describe the OSF/Motif widget set. This option is rarely used because few people write

widget set descriptions in WML. Recently, however, some companies have started to ship Widget Meta−Language

Database (WMD) files with their custom widget sets, so use of this option ...
