/WL (Enable One-Line Diagnostics)
Appends additional information to an error or warning message.
Syntax
/WL
Remarks
Error and warning messages from the C++ compiler can be followed by additional information that appears, by default, on a new line. When you compile from the command line, the extra line of information can be appended to the error or warning message. It's useful if you capture your build output to a log file and then process that log to find all errors and warnings. A semicolon will separate the error or warning message from the additional line.
Not all error and warning messages have an extra line of information. The following code will generate an error that has another line of information. It lets you test the effect when you use /WL.
// compiler_option_WL.cpp
// compile with: /WL
#include <queue>
int main() {
std::queue<int> q;
q.fromthecontinuum(); // C2039
}
