I am the maintainer of compiler/gcc.vim and I would like to propose
the following change to its errorformat:
@@ -20,7 +20,8 @@ setlocal errorformat=
\\"%f\"\\,\ line\ %l%*\\D%c%*[^\ ]\ %m,
\%D%*\\a[%*\\d]:\ Entering\ directory\ `%f',
\%X%*\\a[%*\\d]:\ Leaving\ directory\ `%f',
- \%DMaking\ %*\\a\ in\ %f
+ \%DMaking\ %*\\a\ in\ %f,
+ \%-G%.%#
let &cpo = s:cpo_save
unlet s:cpo_save
The reason for this change is that I find it tiresome that whenever a
successful build it built, I have to press enter twice to first get
through the "shell output is finished, please hit Enter" prompt and
then "Hi, I'm gcc command-line number one that successfully compiled
file so and so, and hey, there are 18 more of these commands waiting
for you to look through, so please begin by hitting Enter".
So the addition of %-G%.%# to exclude anything but the defined formats
from the listing saves us the trouble of seeing useless compiler
command-lines in the list of changes.
However, this is a rather drastic measure, and may cause messages that
people rely on to go missing. If so, then this patch is perhaps not
for public consumption. We do have the chance to add these messages
to the errorformat, however, so if someone has any suggestions, please
do pass them on.
Any comments?
Thanks.
