[cfe-dev] aborting a compilation with illegal arguments

[Jonas Paulsson via cfe-dev]

Hi Hal,

thanks for help!

The FeaturesVec is however empty in initFeatureMap(). Passing -fzvector 
is recognized in ParseLangArgs():

   if (Args.hasArg(OPT_fzvector))
     Opts.ZVector = 1;

It however does not seem like this flag is accessible in 
initFeatureMap(). What should I do?

/Jonas
