Previously, I suggested XML output piped to a colorizing filter and you indicated a lack of interest in going that way. Which is no problem; it's your contribution, and there are definitely downsides to a pipeline approach. But I continue to think that XML output a la ecmake would enable a lot of useful post-processing, so the only feedback I have on this patch is a suggestion that instead of --color=(yes|no) you use something like --output-format=(color|plain) where of course "plain" is the default. All your work to do table-driven formatting via a standard output function could easily be applied to XML generation and it could be supported at the UI level without adding another flag by allowing --output-format=xml. -David Boyce _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
