To my knowledge, research, and testing, sourcepawn does not have the ability to add preprocessor messages to the compiler output like some C languages.

e.g.

#warning "SHOW THIS MESSAGE AS A WARNING DURING COMPILE"

or

#pragma message "SHOW THIS MESSAGE AS A WARNING DURING COMPILE"

Am I mistaken? If not, would I submit a "bug" report to ask to have it added, or how would I go about asking?

In case you're wondering, I use conditional processing to include or not include certain bits of code in plugins (e.g. debug modes). I wanted my compiler to print a warning under certain conditions.

e.g.

#if defined(DEBUG_MODE) || defined(SOME_OTHER_DEFINE)
	#warning "DEBUG MODE IS ENABLED!!"
#endif

or even..

#if defined(DEBUG_MODE) || defined(SOME_OTHER_DEFINE)
	#include <some_include_file>
	#warning "SOME NOTE HERE!"
#endif

This would be helpful for coders to realize if they forgot to do something. Heck, you could even use it as a "to do" list, sending yourself warnings until you write in the "to do" code and remove the warning. Thoughts?

Pawn itself doesn't have any such options, so I feel it would be quite unexpected for it to be in SourcePawn. Pawn does offer #error and #assert which would offer the same effect of causing you to go back and realize you had done something unintended or comment the ASSERT.

Yea, i didnt want to abort the compile...just wanted to give a nice colored note when i compile in NPP. I'm hoping there is a way I dont know about to echo the messages.
