Compiler error formating

Compiler error formating

    I am writing a compiler. I have a question regarding errors. I am fairly sure they should be written to stdout. Does anybody know the formating recognized by the IDE. That is being able to Goto source line error. I think the line looks some like:

    <file>:<line>:<column>:<text>

    Thanks.

      Take a look at Problem with goto line with error listed in output window after compilation.

      See also Output and Error Message Control in GCC documentation and MSBuild / Visual Studio aware error messages and message formats.

      Common is that a character is used between name of file with path and line number which is is either not allowed in file name like : and / or which are very uncommon in file names like ( and , and ).

        Thanks Mofi. That's what I was looking for. I suppose worming to be the same. Does UES distinguish between them other the program exit code? Does UES recognize specific exit codes? My hard drive has died so be a while before I can get back to work in my project. Probably going to put an a A10-7850 system together this spring.

        Thanks again. Got so much chaff from search engines I gave up on them. Really helpful.

          UEStudio itself does not evaluate the exit codes. But make tool called by UltraEdit to compile all files of a project and finally link them does of course evaluate exit code to determine if next stage on build process should be started or not.

          The general rule is that a compiler exits with 0 on successful compilation without or with warnings. On an error the exit code is greater than 0. Which value greater 0 an exit code has is only important for an analysis of the developer of the compiler or a user really interested in. But scripts and make tools usually just check for an exit code greater 0 to determine further processing steps.

          Note: Errors are usually written to stderr as often also warnings while other messages like which file is compiled are written to stdout.
