integer expression required P1
An integral expression is required here
integral type required P1
An integral type is required here
large offset CGEN
Z80 only: This identifier has a large offset from the
stack frame and thus access to it is inefficient. In a
function any arrays should be declared after any simple
variables

<CR><LF> or newline at the end

lvalue required P1
An lvalue, i.e. something which can be assigned to, is
required after an '&' or on the left hand of an assign-
ment
macro recursion CPP
A preprocessor macro has attempted to expand itself.
This would create infinite recursion
member is not a member of the struct/union P1
This member is not in the structure or union with which
it is used

function

below the address specified as the base of the binary
file
multiply defined symbol LINK

name is a union, struct or enum P1

ferent context
No case labels CGEN
This switch has no case labels
no identifier in declaration P1
This declaration should have an identifier in it
No room CGEN
The code generator has run out of dynamic memory. You
will need to reduce the number of symbols and/or the
complexity of expressions
No source file CPP
Source file could not be found - check spelling, direc-
tory paths etc.
no space CPP
Reduce number/size of macro definitions
no start record: entry point defaults to zero LINK
No start address has been specified for the program;
the linker has set the start address to 0
Non-constant case label CGEN
This case label does not evaluate to an integral con-
stant
non-void function returns no value P1
A function which should return a value has a 'return'
statement with no value
not a variable identifier P1
The identifier is not a variable - it may be e.g. a
label or structure tag
not an argument P1
This identifier is not in the argument list for this
function
only functions may be qualified interrupt P1
The type qualifier 'interrupt' may be applied only to
functions, not variables.
only functions may be void P1
Only functions, not variables, may be declared void
only lvalues may be assigned to or modified P1
You have attempted to modify an expression which does
not identify a storage location
only register storage class allowed P1
A parameter may only be auto or register
operands of operator not same pointer type P1
The operands to the named operator in the expression
are both pointers but are not the same pointer type
operands of operator not same type P1
The operands to the named operator in the expression
are incompatible types
pointer required P1
A pointer is required after a '*' (indirection) opera-
tor
popreg - bad reg CGEN
Internal error - contact HI-TECH
portion of expression has no effect CGEN
A portion of this expression has no effect on its value
and no side effects
probable missing '}' in previous block P1
A declaration has been encountered where an expression
was expected. The likely cause of this is that you have
omitted a closing '}' in the function above this point.
psect cannot be in classes a and b LINK
A psect can only be in one class
psect exceeds max size LINK
This psect is larger than a specified maximum size
psect is absolute LINK
This psect is absolute and cannot have a link address
specified in a -p option
Psect not loaded on 0xhexnum boundary LINK
This psect must be loaded on a specific boundary
Psect not relocated on 0xhexnum boundary LINK
This psect must be linked on a specific boundary
psect origin multiply defined LINK
This psect has its link address defined more than once
pushreg - bad reg CGEN
Internal error - contact HI-TECH
redundant & applied to array P1
An array type has an '&' operator applied to it. It has
been ignored since use of an array implicitly gives its
address
regused - bad arg to G CGEN
Internal error - contact HI-TECH
signatures do not matchLINK
An extern function has been declared with an incorrect
prototype. For example if an argument is declared as a
long in an extern declaration, but is really an int, a
signature mismatch will occur.
signed bitfields not supported P1
Only unsigned bitfields are supported
simple type required P1
An array or structure type cannot be used here
Sizeof yields 0 CGEN
The size of an object has evaluated to zero in a con-
text where this is illegal, e.g. incrementing a pointer
to a zero length object.
storage class illegal P1
A storage class may not be specified here
struct/union member expected P1
A structure or union member is required after a '. or
'->'
struct/union redefined P1
This structure or union has been defined twice
struct/union required P1
A structure or union identifier is required before a
'.'
Switch on long! CGEN
Switching on a long expression is not supported
symbol cannot be global LINK
Stack, filename or line number symbols cannot be global
Syntax error in checksum list LINK
The checksum list provided is invalid
token too long CPP
Shorten token (e.g. identifier)
too few arguments P1
The protype for this function lists more arguments than
have been supplied
too many arguments P1
More arguments have been supplied than listed in the
prototype for this function
Too many cases in switch CGEN,P1
There are too many cases in this switch
too many -D options CPP
Use fewer -D options
too many defines CPP
Reduce number of macro definitions
Too many errors CGEN
CGEN has given up because there were too many errors.
too many formals CPP
Reduce number of parameters to this macro definition
Too many initializers CGEN
There are too many initializers for this object
Too many psects LINK
There are too many psects for the symbol table
Too many symbols LINK
There are too many symbols for the linker symbol table
too many -U options CPP
Use fewer -U options
too much defining CPP
Reduce number/size of macros
too much indirection P1
Too many '*'s in this declaration
too much pushback CPP
Simplify macro usage
type conflict P1
There is a conflict of types in this expression, e.g.
attempting to assign a structure to a simple type
type specifier reqd. for proto arg P1
A prototype argument must have a basic type
undefined control CPP
Check use of #
undefined enum tag P1
This enumerated type tag has not been defined
undefined identifier P1
This identifier has not been defined before use
undefined struct/union P1
The structure or union used has not been defined
undefined symbol LINK
A list of undefined symbols follows. If some of the
symbols should be in a library which was linked, it may
be caused by a library ordering problem. In this case
rebuild the library with the correct ordering or
specify the library more than once in the link command
unexpected EOF P1
End of file was encountered in the middle of a C con-
struct. This is commonly caused by omission of a clos-
ing '}' earlier in the program.
Unknown predicate CGEN
Internal error - contact HI-TECH
unknown psect LINK
The psect specifed in a -p option is not present in the
program. Check the spelling and check the case - upper
case does not match lower case
unreachable code P1
This section of code can never be executed as there is
no possible path to reach it
Unreasonable include nesting CPP
Reduce number of include files
Unreasonable matching depth CGEN
Internal error - contact HI-TECH
unterminated macro call CPP
Probably missing )
void function cannot return value P1
A function declared void cannot return a value
