Number of errors one greater than actual

[acar]

When compilation fails on a subroutine, errors are listed in the Output window. In the summary at the bottom f this list the number of errors is always one greater than the number of errors in the list above. I guess it means that there were n errors in the subroutine and if you include the fact that the subroutine compilation failed then there are n+1 errors?

If so, an interesting question would be: What happens when n = 0 ?

Indeed! .

I've noticed this too - I think it counts the "compilation failed" message as a separate error.

It probably also explains why when the number of errors is large the list is truncated to the odd number 31 rather than 30.

Not to be off thread topic, but don't forget that CVF would count if the variable name in an "info" or maybe "warning" was Error -- then it would show that the compilation had errors even if it didn't.

my favorite one to explain to my other developers on the team.

So with IVF we are better than with CVF .... but still not perfect?
