[Implemented] CompilerWarning

[StarBootics]

Hello,

CompilerError generate an error message and stop compiling the source code. It' nice in some case but I need sometthing that will just tell me something and continue the compiling process.

So I suggest to add CompilerWarning keyword for this purpose.

Something like this will be useful for telling about Deprecated user procedures for example.

Settings for things like this (i.e. stop, warnings only, or ignore) are already available in the Debugger.

IMHO you wouldn't want to make compiler errors optional as they are usually show stoppers.

Could be useful for a library if you deprecate a function before it gets removed in a later version.

+1 for CompilerWarning / CompilerOutput / CompilerPrint / CompilerMessage. Just outputs a message without abortion, independent from any settings.
Could even be a license or copyright message, whatever.

Another use for CompilerWarning

I requested the same thing in 2012

ts-soft posted a nice method to do this, using Import.

In other languages, I use compiler warnings all the time (for example: to indicate that Debugging features are still enabled, and should be disabled for final builds).
