pocc preprocessor warnings not emitted on stderr

[frankie]

pocc doesn't emit the preprocessor warnings on the stderr.
If you use the output with option /E the warnings get in the output.
Ie with the command:

Code: [Select]

    pocc /E foo.m > foo.Pif warnings are detected by the preprocessor they are output in the file foo.P and not on the screen via stderr.

This is by design. I never use stderr as a general principle.

Thanks for the answer Pelle.
In general this could be acceptable considering that unlike in unix practice win programs doesn't use stdin/stdout as in/out devices when file names are omitted in command line. But in the case of the preprocessor output with the switch /E where your output is on stdout, and is not possible to redirect output to a file with the option /Fo, this is not correct IMO.
Please consider this feature for future releases.
Thanks.

A much better idea IMO is to add a /P option, preprocess to <srcfile>.i, like in MSVC and other compilers. The stderr stream may be useful on u**x, but I have never found it the least bit useful under Windows.

Yes it's Ok for me too.
Thanks Pelle.
