Class `dmd.errors.ErrorSinkCompiler`

Error message sink for D compiler.


						
				class ErrorSinkCompiler
  : ErrorSink;

Owns the gating logic (gag handling, error limit, warning/deprecation modes) and delegates the actual output to the virtual emit method, which subclasses such as ErrorSinkSarif override to change format.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
`errorLimit`	`uint`	Maximum number of errors/deprecations to display before calling `fatal`. 0 means unlimited.
`showGaggedErrors`	`bool`	print gagged errors anyway
`useDeprecated`	`DiagnosticReporting`	how use of deprecated features are handled
`useWarnings`	`DiagnosticReporting`	how compiler warnings are handled

Methods

Name	Description
`emit` (loc, format, ap, kind, supplemental, gagged)	Format and write a single diagnostic that has already passed the gating checks. Default implementation prints coloured text to stderr (or stdout for plain messages); `ErrorSinkSarif` overrides this to write SARIF JSON instead.
`emitAdditionalContext` ()	Returns true if auxillary error reporting functions like `printCandidates`, `getMatchError` or `getParamError` should print additional information.
`factory` (classname)	Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
`opCmp` (o)	Compare with another Object obj.
`opEquals` (o)	Test whether `this` is equal to `o`. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the `is` operator). Generally, overrides and overloads for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents. A class will most likely want to add an overload that takes your specific type as the argument and does the content comparison. Then you can override this and forward it to your specific typed overload with a cast. Remember to check for `null` on the typed overload.
`plugSink` ()	This will be called to indicate compilation has either finished or terminated, no more errors are possible - it's now the time to print any stored errors.
`toHash` ()	Compute hash function for Object.
`toString` ()	Convert Object to a human readable string.
