cause first spectre ERROR to terminate?

drdanmc

A spectre input file may have multiple analysis commands in it.  It appears that by default if an analysis fails, spectre will move on to the others in the file.  Is there some way to cause spectre to stop on the first error?  For example if the result of a first analysis is then used by a later analysis, I'd rather just quit if the first fails rather than simulating all the rest with perhaps garbage input from the failed first one.   I didn't spot anything in the spectre manual but I could have overlooked something.

Thanks

    Dan,

    I can't see a way of doing this. I was wondering whether using the spectre option warning_change_severity together with warning_id to increase the severity of a message from the failing analysis might do it, but the one example I tried was already an error and there's no higher level. What might be a reasonable enhancement request to for warning_change_severity to also support a fatal choice which will stop immediately rather than continuing on to the next analysis. If you'd like something like that, I suggest contacting customer support.

    Regards,

    Andrew
