Hello,

This is not about a bug, I'm just trying to understand how gpc works. I have some experience--as an amateur, though--with TPW1.5 (MS-Windows) and TP6.0 (MS-DOS), and with SunWorkshop Pascal Compiler 4.2 (SunOS 5.5.1). I'm trying to compile some Pascal code of my own with the GNU Pascal Compiler on a PC running RedHat Linux 4.2.

Questions:

1. How do I suspend I/O error messages in order to detect the presence/absence of a file? In Turbo Pascal, one does this as follows:

{$I-} reset(file); {$I+} if IOResult <> 0 then...

In SunWorkshop Pascal it's a little bit more complicated even if its different. Is there something similar to these in GNU Pascal?

2. Where do I get a list of compile-time and run-time errors?

Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
