Volume 6A: Motif Programming Manual

Running this module through the compiler produces the following warnings:

object files : XmList gadget { };

*

Warning: XmList gadget is not supported − XmList widget will be used instead

line: 3 file: warn.uil

XmNset = true;

*

Warning: the XmNset argument is not supported for the XmLabel object

line: 7 file: warn.uil

Info: errors: 0 warnings: 2 informationals: 0

Warning messages are usually associated with a line in the source module. Warnings are also generated if you specify

an unknown option to the uil command or when the compiler cannot close a file.

24.2.4 Informational Messages

The UIL compiler uses informational messages to let you know about the state of the compilation. The compiler also

generates an informational message if you set the same resource or callback more than once. You've already seen two

of the three possible informational messages in the example output from above. The module in the source code

demonstrates the third situation.

module infos

list base : arguments {

XmNlabelString = "original";

};

object main_widget : XmLabel {

arguments {

arguments base;

XmNlabelString = "actual";

};

};

end module;

The compiler output for this module is as follows: These informational messages were generated by an early version

of the Motif 1.2 compiler, which incorrectly outputs the line of the original resource rather than the line that

superseded it.

XmNlabelString = "original";

*

Info: this XmNlabelString argument supersedes a previous definition in this

argument list
