Class CompilerDevelopmentCodes

java.lang.Object
org.ek9lang.compiler.common.CompilerDevelopmentCodes
public final class CompilerDevelopmentCodes extends Object
THE one statement of which error codes concern COMPILER DEVELOPMENT rather than writing a program (site-examples spec ยง6, Steve 2026-10-11, Q5): E50200 to E50390, the codes the development directives report - @Error, @Resolved, @Complexity, @IR, @BYTECODE, @Probe, @Squirrelled, @InputVariety, @Obligations and the rest. Steve: "Other than @Test all the other directives are compiler development tooling and not designed for mainstream programs."

So these codes keep their page (and ek9 -h, which must still explain them), but they have no user example - a user is never to write such a directive, and an example would teach it - and the site lists them in a category of their own, at the end, titled for compiler development. The error catalogue's codes-without-example ratchet exempts exactly this set, for exactly this reason, in this one place: never list them anywhere else.
