Informix Error -4145: Too many errors, compiler will quit.
Cause and resolution
Too many errors, compiler will quit.
Too many compiler errors have been detected. The compiler reports the errors it has found to this point and quits.
Oninit® Troubleshooting Guidance
Reasons / Common Causes
-4145 fires when the compiler has detected too many errors to continue — per the official guidance, the compiler reports the errors found so far and quits.
- The source module has accumulated more compiler errors than the compiler will continue past, per the official guidance — the direct, only cause.
Solutions / Resolution
- Fix the errors already reported, then recompile — later errors may be consequences of earlier ones and disappear once those are fixed.
Examples
Working through a large error list
Fix the earliest-reported errors first, since parse errors early in a module often cascade into many spurious follow-on errors; recompile after each round of fixes.
Diagnostic Checks
- Fix the errors already reported, starting from the earliest, and recompile to see how many remain.
