Hugh,
Vim will use the first matching pattern in your efm, so put the more
specific patterns at the beginning, the more general patterns at the
end. So try putting the new lines at the front of the efm:
\%E%f:%l:\ multiple\ definitions\ of\ %m,
\%Z%*\\s:%f:%l:\ first\ defined\ here,
\\"%f\"%*\\D%l:\ %m,
\%-G%f:%l:\ %trror:\ (Each\ undeclared\ identifier\ is\ reported\
only\ once,
\%-G%f:%l:\ %trror:\ for\ each\ function\ it\ appears\ in.),
\%f:%l:\ %m,
\\"%f\"\\,\ line\ %l%*\\D%c%*[^\ ]\ %m,
\%D%*\\a[%*\\d]:\ Entering\ directory\ `%f',
David

This was originally posted to vim@vim.org but I've not
had a reply. Maybe it's better posted here, anyway. This
is the concise form of the message. Longer versions are
in the archives, but I'll explain more if needed.

I have been trying to improve the quickfix facilities
obtainable from gcc and I have modified it thusly:

But when I get results like:
/home/hgs/fsv/rawimage.c:97: multiple definition of `image_check_is_png'
image.o:/home/hgs/fsv/image.c:97: first defined here
vim tries to pickup a file called image.o:/home/hgs/fsv/image.c
for the second line (:cn) which clearly doesn't exist.
I have tried the following forms of this second line in order to modify
what is detected before the %f :-
\%Z%*\\s:%f:%l:\ first\ defined\ here,
\%Z%.%#:%f:%l:\ first\ defined\ here,
\%Z%*[^:]:%f:%l:\ first\ defined\ here,
\%Z%m:%f:%l:\ first\ defined\ here,
\%Z%*f:%f:%l:\ first\ defined\ here,
The latter of which complains about 2 %f symbols in the line, despite
the
first having a * in it.
How do I NOT pickup the object file before the ":%f:\ first\ defined\
here"?
Hugh
