O Code fatal errors

Hi.

I have been writing some G code, using named variables and O codes.

I have it working now, so this is for future reference.

If the syntax is wrong, the program causes linuxcnc to have a fatal error and require shutting down. (Gmoccapy).

From the O code manual:
"To make these errors non-fatal warnings on stderr, set bit 0x20 in the [RS274NGC]FEATURE= mask ini option."

I currently have the .ini set thus:
[RS274NGC]
PARAMETER_FILE = linuxcnc.var
RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = G7 G18 G61 G97
FEATURES = 12

Firstly, the manual says feature(singular) whereas the .ini files I have seen say features(plural).
Secondly, I have only ever seen a numerical entry for this field. Can someone therefore enlighten me as to what the O code manual is inferring please?

Next time I do this, I am hoping to be able to have the g code error out, but without needing to restart linuxcnc, i.e. fix the code and try again. Following this I can return FEATURE(S) to the previous setting again.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Marty.

The ini setting for [RS274NGC]FEATURES is a bitmask
Bit weights are typically specified in hexadecimal:
Ini entries for FEATURES are expressed in decimal.

So, to specify bits 4 and 8, use the decimal sum (4+8):
FEATURES=12

To specify bits 4,8, and 0x20, use the decimal sum (4+8+32):
FEATURES=44

Excellent explanation.

Thanks kindly!!
