E! for Windows - Technical Note #004
********************************************
Lengthy scanning of the compiler output file
********************************************
To find error messages in the compiler output file, E! processes each line
of this file (EWX.OUT) and checks it against the list of files generated by
your Project file. If this list contains numerous files (many wildcards
specifications), scanning the output file will take time. Sometimes minutes.
If you can't wait that much, you may try to shorten the process by giving
hints to E! about the compiler output. This is done through the
'compkeywords' entry of the [sytem] section of EW.INI. Before submitting any
line of the output file to the Analyzer, E! will check whether that line
contains one of the keywords added to this entry (up to 10 keywords, up to
20 characters each).
If at least one of these keywords couldn't be found in the line, it is
discarded, thus sparing the time needed to traverse the list of filenames
belonging to the Project file. The time spared using this technique can be
very big when the Project file and / or the compiler output file contain a
reasonable amount of lines.
