syntax-only

Tells the compiler to check only for correct syntax.

Syntax

Linux:

-syntax-only

Windows:

/syntax-only

Arguments

None

Default

OFF

Normal compilation is performed.

Description

This option tells the compiler to check only for correct syntax. It lets you do a quick syntax check of your source file.

Compilation stops after the source file has been parsed. No code is generated, no object file is produced, and some error checking done by the optimizer is bypassed.

This option also generates all appropriate module files for each module found in the source. If Fortran preprocessing is requested, the preprocessed source file is also created.

Warnings and messages appear on stderr.

IDE Equivalent

None

Alternate Options

Linux: -y, -fsyntax-only, -syntax (this is a deprecated option)

Windows: /Zs
