How do I make Visual Studio stop compiling after 1 (or n) errors?
- by Jon
For example, a missing semi-colon in C++ can result in hundreds of errors. Is there a way to stop compiling when the first error is hit?
This piece of code is supposed to calculate an approximation to e (i.e. the mathematical constant ~ 2.71828183) at compile-time, using the following approach;
e1 = 2 / 1
e2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / (2 * 1) = 5 / 2 = 2.5
e3 = (3 * 5 + 1) / (3 * 2) = 16 / 6 ~ 2.67
e4 = (4 * 16 + 1) / (4 * 6) = 65 / 24 ~ 2.708
...
e(i) = (e(i-1).numer * i + 1) /…
