NAME
ccfilter - a compiler's output filter for vim quickfix
SYNOPSIS
ccfilter [
<options>
]
DESCRIPTION
The ccfilter utility "filters" the output of several compilers
and makers (make/gmake) from several platforms (see NOTES below)
to a standardized format which easily fits in vim's quickfix
feature. For further details, see in vim ":help quickfix".
ccfilter reads
'stdin'
and outputs to
'stdout'
.
The need for ccfilter is clear, as some compilers have irregular
and/or multiple line error messages (with the relevant information on
line 2), which makes it impossible for the errorformat to correctly
display them !
When working on different platforms, and with different compilers,
ccfilter eases the utilization of quickfix, due to it's standardized
output, allowing to have in .vimrc a plain
:set errorformat=%f:%l:%c:%t:%m
USAGE
When using ccfilter, one would include the following lines in .vimrc:
:set shellpipe=\\|&ccfilter\\>
:set errorformat=%f:%l:%c:%t:%m
OPTIONS
- -c
-
Decrement column by one. This may be needed, depending on
the compiler being used.
- -r
-
Decrement row by one. This may be needed, depending on
the compiler being used.
- -v
-
Verbose (Outputs also invalid lines).
This option makes ccfilter output also the lines that
couldn't be correctly parsed. This is used mostly for
ccfilter debugging.
- -o <COMPILER>
-
Treat input as <COMPILER>'s output.
Even when configuring ccfilter to assume a default
COMPILER, sometimes it's helpful to be able to specify
the COMPILER used to generate ccfilter's input.
For example, when cross-compiling on a network from a
single machine.
- -h
-
Shows a brief help, describing the configured default COMPILER
and the valid parameters for COMPILER.
NOTES
Currently, ccfilter accepts output from several compilers, as
described below:
- GCC
-
GCC compiler
- AIX
-
AIX's C compiler
- ATT
-
AT&T/NCR's High Performance C Compiler
- IRIX
-
IRIX's MIPS/MIPSpro C compiler
- SOLARIS
-
SOLARIS's SparcWorks C compiler
- HPUX
-
HPUX's C compiler
