Remarks

The $WARN directive gives you fine-grained control over individual warning messages.

Syntax Effect
{$WARN identifier ON} Allows the compiler to display the warning specified by the identifier
{$WARN identifier OFF} The specified warning is not displayed
{$WARN identifier ERROR} The specified warning is treated as error
{$WARN identifier DEFAULT} Uses the default settings from the Project Options dialog box.

These warnings relate to symbols or units that use the hint directives, platform, deprecated, and library.

The identifier in the $WARN directive can have any of the following values:


The only warnings that can be turned on/off using $WARN are the ones listed above.

The warnings set by the inline $WARN directive are carried for the compilation unit in which the directive appears, after which it reverts to the previous state. The warnings set by a $WARN directive take effect from that point on in the file.

The $WARNINGS directive also controls the generation of compiler warnings.


Examples

The following $WARN directive results in warnings about all references to experimental symbols in the current module: 

{$WARNINGS ON}
{$WARN SYMBOL_EXPERIMENTAL ON}

procedure Foo; experimental;
begin
end;

begin
	Foo	// Warning: W1003 Symbol 'Foo' is experimental
end.

If that $WARN directive were changed to: 

{$WARN SYMBOL_EXPERIMENTAL ERROR}

then the compiler message would change to: 

 Error: E1003 Symbol 'Foo' is experimental

and this module would not be compiled.


Another example: 

 
{$WARN WIDECHAR_REDUCED OFF} 
  if c in ['a', 'b'] then 
    // ... 
{$WARN WIDECHAR_REDUCED DEFAULT}
