Summary of Progress (December 9 – December 15)

This week, I focused on understanding and planning the next steps for handling verrors=context based on guidance from my mentor. The main goal is to ensure verrors=context is enabled globally for users while keeping the test suite clean and manageable. The work is being divided into two phases:

1. Implementing verrors=simple without altering existing test cases.
2. Updating the test suite when verrors=context is enabled globally.

What I Worked On

• Guidance from Mentor:

  • Received the plan to first implement verrors=simple as a new option in the compiler without modifying any test cases.
  • Planned to use this option later to selectively disable verrors=context in tests while enabling it globally for users.

• Initial Preparations:

  • Began work on creating a new PR specifically for adding the verrors=simple option.

Next Steps

• Finalize verrors=simple Implementation:

  • Complete and test the basic functionality of verrors=simple in the new PR.
  • Ensure backward compatibility and minimal impact on existing workflows.

• Prepare for Global Enablement of verrors=context:

  • Once the verrors=simple PR is merged, start enabling verrors=context globally for the compiler.
  • Update test cases to include verrors=simple where necessary to reduce visual noise.
