Method Reporter()->report()

Method report

void report(SeverityLevel severity, string filename, int(1..) 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.

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 output to Stdio.stderr.

Note

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