Unless I've missed something obvious, which is entirely possible, adding a --syntax-check-only switch was very easy. I've submitted a pull request with the change: https://github.com/ccrma/chuck/pull/126 I'm going ahead to work on my vscode extension assuming this will (eventually) be there. I doubt I will have it done any time soon because I have no clue what I'm doing, but one day vscode will be able to highlight ChucK syntax errors.

I'm not sure if it has one, but it would be pretty straightforward to add one -- just delete the code generated from the compilation process instead of sporking it. See chuck_main.cpp: https://github.com/ccrma/chuck/blob/master/src/host/chuck_main.cpp

I'm looking at trying to add more to my ChucK vscode extension, and I'd love to be able to run chuck on the code being edited so that I can parse and highlight the errors.

However, I don't know how you would run chuck to just generate syntax errors. I see there is a --silent switch, which would work for the purpose, but would be an unnecessary waste of resources just to get the possible syntax errors.

Csound has a --syntax-check-only command-line option. Is there something like this for ChucK? If not, would it be straightforward to add one?
