NAME
C_MENU - Turn
C
error messages into
vi
menus.
SYNOPSIS
make -k | c_menu; vi
DESCRIPTION
C_menu
reads its standard input and looks for lines of the form:
-
"foo.c", line 19: word undefined.
All such lines are gathered into a set of menus, one for each
C
file, that are useful for locating the errors in the source files using
the
vi
edittor.
The main menu contains the names of the
C
files with errors, selecting a file causes that file to be editted.
Sliding off to the right of the
file name
menu
pops up a list of error messages.
Selecting an error message while in
vi
causes
vi
to move its cursor to the line containing the error.
The most common way to use
c_menu
is with the
MGR
cut
and
paste
facility.
After running a
make
or
cc
that produces
C
error messages,
simply
cut
the error messages, type
c_menu;vi ,
paste
the errors into
c_menu ,
then key
CNTL d.

BUGS
After adding or deleting lines from the file,
c_menu 's
notion of which line contains the error is incorrect.
