This could be a quite dangerous measure as any unrecognised line will be
totally ignored. Moreover, many Makefiles include other commands, and
their output should generally not be lost.
Precisely the point. If Vim can't determine how the output of a
command should be interpreted it should be ignored. It's as simple as
that. If you have some special needs, it really should be treated
separately.
If you add this feature, I propose not to make it the default. This
feature is not only useful with gcc, so the variable used to activate it
could have a general name and be used in several compiler files.
True, that could be useful, but it should be on by default.
By the way, here is two lines coming from the default errorformat
option:
\%D%*\\a:\ Entering\ directory\ `%f',
\%X%*\\a:\ Leaving\ directory\ `%f',
They are useful when using the -C option from the vim command line.
What do you think of adding them?
OK, I'll add them.
