“too many errors emitted stopping now” - How to increase or remove the limit?

Question

So I'm doing some refactoring and it's really annoying that I don't get all the errors up front. How can I either increase the limit or remove the limit, so that the compiler will output all the errors it can find?

Answer 1

So I found how to do it. You add this compiler flag:

-ferror-limit=0

0 means that it will not stop because of too many errors.

This seems to be a question and answer that explains how to add a compiler flag in Xcode 4:

Xcode Project-Wide compiler flag

Answer 2

Maybe this:

Preferences > General > Continue Building After Errors

Answer 3

Here is the complete syntax to compile and pass the flags to the make command

make install CFLAGS="-ferror-limit=0"
