Eclipse IDE: Show help on tool errors

When you encounter errors or warnings, they are displayed in the Problems view in Eclipse.

Possible solution

To get more details or information about errors or warnings encountered during the build process:

1. Right-click on an error or warning in the Problems view.

2. Select Detailed Diagnostics Info.

A pop-up message box appears with more details about the error or warning, as shown below.

In a command prompt, you can use the option --diag=<error number> on a specific tool. For example:

ctc --diag=208
E208: syntax error - token "<token>" inserted before "<text>"
The compiler detected a syntax error, but tried to recover by inserting <token>.
