/FC (Full Path of Source Code File in Diagnostics)
The latest version of this topic can be found at -FC (Full Path of Source Code File in Diagnostics).
Causes the compiler to display the full path of source code files passed to the compiler in diagnostics.
Syntax
/FC
Remarks
Consider the following code sample:
// compiler_option_FC.cpp
int main( ) {
int i // C2143
}
Without /FC, the diagnostic text would look similar to this diagnostic text:
- compiler_option_FC.cpp(5) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
With /FC, the diagnostic text would look similar to this diagnostic text:
- c:\test\compiler_option_FC.cpp(5) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
/FC is also needed if you want to see the full path of a file name when using the __FILE__ macro. See Predefined Macros for more information on __FILE__.
The /FC option is implied by /ZI. For more information about /ZI, see /Z7, /Zi, /ZI (Debug Information Format).
