Description
This option causes the results of diagnostic analysis to be output to a file. The file is placed in the current working directory.
You can include a file extension in filename. For example, if file.txt is specified, the name of the output file is file.txt. If you do not provide a file extension, the name of the file is filename.diag.
If filename 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) or /Qdiag-file (Windows) and you also specify -diag-file-append (Linux) or /Qdiag-file-append (Windows), the last option specified on the command line takes precedence.
Alternate Options
None
Example
