Issue ID: 17396
Summary: Colorize error messages emitted by dmd
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Some basic colorization has already been implemented as the solution to
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12273
But we can go further with that by taking inspiration from Ddoc. In
verrorPrint(), the message string can be scanned for text enclosed by `...`.
This text can then be syntax color highlighted analogously to the way Ddoc does
it. This should nicely improve the look of error messages.
