<body class='hmmessage'>When I say show cm3cg/as invocations, I mean in this new TARGET/cm3.log.<BR>
As I said, I propose exactly the stdout/stderr you want, but then some other output always, a log file.<BR>
Also, about -commands, I have also claimed that it does work -- talking out of both sides of my mouth. The extra commands it prints are obviously harmless. I forget what doesn't print, maybe exec vs. q_exec? Also the <A href="mailto:'@'">'@'</A> character wasn't working with q_exec, but that isn't necessarily relevant here..I forgot where I use exec vs. q_exec..<BR>
And there plenty of other ways to debug than -commands and it is "just" a debugging facility..<BR>

Olaf, I don't entirely agree.<BR>The logs should be fairly informative <EM>without </EM>intervention.<BR>Just not too verbose. I'd would rather remove the lines that say "compiling" and show the cm3cg invocations.<BR>But more than one line per source file is too much.<BR>-commands doesn't really work. Lots of bogus extra commands are echoed (rm .tmp), and not all the commands that are run are echoed.<BR> <BR>I understand that stability for tests is also a goal, but information for the interactive user and for post mortem debugging via a log is also valuable, and these are contrary to stability-for-tests. Somehow contradictory goals need to be met.<BR> <BR>How about a compromise?<BR>How about we always log more stuff to TARGET/cm3.log?<BR> And then exactly what you want to stdout/stderr?<BR>While, as I said, more than one line per file is overkill, as part of this compromise I'd be willing to include the cm3cg and as invocation.<BR> <BR>Have folks used build.exe in the Windows NT DDK?<BR>It's model is close to what you get here.<BR>It has three sets of information:<BR> to the console/stdout <BR> build.log, build.exe is a wrapper over make, and this includes all the make output -- all the command lines run <BR> build.err, a small subset of console/stdout output<BR> <BR>My "design" here has been to avoid over-verbosity. Link and mt run on the order of once, or a small number of times, per directory, so showing the full command line (response files...) isn't so verbose -- vs. say something shown once per compiled file.<BR> <BR>There's another "problem" here that I have partly fixed.<BR>Underlying errors are not shown on console/stdout/stderr.<BR>They are often in like TARGET/m3core.lst.<BR> <BR>I changed stuff to refer to that file, after having hunted the errors down myself slowly the first time.<BR> <BR>We could change things to alway says "see TARGET/cm3.log" for more information, or somesuch.<BR> <BR> - Jay<BR><BR><BR>
