-qtabsize
Category
Pragma equivalent
#pragma options tabsize
Purpose
Sets the default tab length, for the purposes of reporting the column number in error messages.
Defaults
-qtabsize=8
Parameters
- number
- The number of character spaces representing a tab in your source program.
Usage
This option only affects error messages that specify the column number at which an error occurred.
Predefined macros
None.
Examples
To compile myprogram.c so
the compiler considers tabs as having a width of one character, enter:
xlc myprogram.c -qtabsize=1
In
this case, you can consider one character position (where each character
and each tab equals one position, regardless of tab length) as being
equivalent to one character column.
