How to increase error limit in Visual Studio?

Question

When building an application in Visual Studio. It shows the following error when exceeding the error count

    fatal error C1003: error count exceeds 100; sto         


        

Answer 1

Workaround to reduce number of reported errors:

• rename cl.exe to cl-orig.exe
• roll your own cl.exe that launches cl-orig.exe, capturing its stdout / stderr
• parse stderr, looking for error messages and counting them
• breaks after first n errors
