ARTICLE: "tools.errors" "Batch error reporting"
"Some tools, such as the " { $link "compiler" } ", " { $link "tools.test" } " and " { $link "help.lint" } " need to report multiple errors at a time. Each error is associated with a source file, line number, and optionally, a definition. " { $link "errors" } " cannot be used for this purpose, so the " { $vocab-link "source-files.errors" } " vocabulary provides an alternative mechanism. Note that the words in this vocabulary are used for implementation only; to actually list errors, consult the documentation for the relevant tools."
