How do I turn off compiler warning messages?

Setting the flag

  Compiler.Control.printWarnings : bool ref

to false will suppress all warning messages. This is generally not a good idea. One situation where you might want to do this is when using the "next-error" ("^C`") command in the emacs sml-mode to step through compiler error messages.

How do I turn off garbage collection messages?

The function

  SMLofNJ.Internals.GC.messages : bool -> unit

will turn off garbage collection messages if it is applied to false. Applying it to true turns them back on. See the documentation for the GC signature.
