\S{opt-X} The \i\c{-X} Option: Selecting an \i{Error Reporting Format}
This option can be used to select an error reporting format for any
error messages that might be produced by NASM.
Currently, two error reporting formats may be selected. They are
the \c{-Xvc} option and the \c{-Xgnu} option. The GNU format is
the default and looks like this:
\c filename.asm:65: error:specific error message
where \c{filename.asm} is the name of the source file in which the
error was detected, \c{65} is the source file line number on which
the error was detected, \c{error} is the severity of the error (this
could be \c{warning}), and \c{specific error message} is a more
detailed text message which should help pinpoint the exact problem.
The other format, specified by \c{-Xvc} is the style used by Microsoft
Visual C++ and some other programs. It looks like this:
\c filename.asm(65) error:specific error message
where the only difference is that the line number is in parentheses
instead of being delimited by colons.
See also the \c{Visual C++} output format, \k{win32fmt}.
