Description
This option causes the results of diagnostic analysis to be output to a file. The file is placed in the current working directory.
If file is specified, the name of the file is file.diag. The file can include a file extension; for example, if file.ext is specified, the name of the file is file.ext.
If file is not specified, the name of the file is name-of-the-first-source-file.diag. This is also the name of the file if the name specified for file conflicts with a source file name provided in the command line.
Note
If you specify -diag-file (Linux and Mac OS X) or /Qdiag-file (Windows) and you also specify -diag-file-append (Linux and Mac OS X) or /Qdiag-file-append (Windows), the last option specified on the command line takes precedence.
