[cfe-dev] Disable #error?

[Sean Silva]

Just do:

$ sed -i -e 's/#error.*//' **/*.h

Really, ignoring the semantics of the program being analyzed (i.e. that it
requests compilation to be aborted) is just as much of a hack as using sed
to modify the headers. In both cases, you are forcefully trampling the
source code's request.
