You may have some compiler output in /tmp/*.varnish.

Otherwise you can compile it on demand with a running varnishd:

$ varnishadm -S /etc/varnish/secrect -T localhost:6082 vcl.load
name_the_vcl /etc/varnish/default.vcl

(I'm using 2.1, so varnishadm in 3.0 may be different).

Failure to compile will produce 'classic' compiler type output.

Moons ago I had a problem when compiler would fail when I copied and
pasted something some the web, it felt like it was a funny line ending
character.
