Best Way to Specify Compiler Options ?

[amckinlay]

One of the recent changes was that unhandled values in a switch statement will throw an exception. Some people are finding this a problem with existing code. (For new code, just include a default: if you want to ignore other values.)

So we should probably have an option to disable this new feature.

The question is how to specify the option:

– a command line option e.g. -switchdefaultthrow

– a function e.g. SetSuneidoOption(switchDefaultThrow: false)

– a special member in the global Suneido object e.g. Suneido.SwitchDefaultThrow = false

Note: the second two would have to be done before any of the applicable code was used

What do you think?

I went with setting a member in the Suneido object because it was the simplest to implement.

We’ll see how it works.
