Sun Studio C++ "is not terminated with a newline" warning - how to suppress?

I have ported a fair bit of code from Win to Solaris, one of the issues I have - I am getting a heaps of warnings:

Warning: Last line in file is not terminated with a newline.

I like warnings - but because of the sheer amount of those I am afraid I could miss more important one.

Which compiler (cc) option should I specify to silence it?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Although i think Martin's solution of fixing the original source files would be preferable, if you really want to disable the warnings then this page describes the -erroff flag which you can use to disable specific warnings. In your case add

    -erroff=E_NEWLINE_NOT_LAST

    to the CC command line to switch the newline warning off, e.g.:

    # Display the warning and the warning tag name.
/opt/forte/sunstudio11_patch2/SUNWspro/bin/cc -errtags=yes test.c
"test.c", line 1: warning: newline not last character in file (E_NEWLINE_NOT_LAST)

# Disable the warning.
/opt/forte/sunstudio11_patch2/SUNWspro/bin/cc -erroff=E_NEWLINE_NOT_LAST test.c
