3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	27 Vim has a special mode to speedup the edit-compile-edit cycle. This is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	28 inspired by the quickfix option of the Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	29 The idea is to save the error messages from the compiler in a file and use Vim
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	30 to jump to the errors one by one. You can examine each problem and fix it,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	31 without having to remember all the error messages.

170 8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	33 In Vim the quickfix commands are used more generally to find a list of
8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	34 positions in files. For example, \|:vimgrep\| finds pattern matches. You can
231 8eec9649b7a2 updated for version 7.0064 vimboss parents: 170 diff changeset	35 use the positions in a script with the \|getqflist()\| function. Thus you can
170 8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	36 do a lot more than the edit/compile/fix cycle!

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	554 The 'winfixheight' option will be set, which means that the window will mostly

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	573 When the quickfix window has been filled, two autocommand events are
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	574 triggered. First the 'filetype' option is set to "qf", which triggers the
651 bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	575 FileType event. Then the BufReadPost event is triggered, using "quickfix" for
bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	576 the buffer name. This can be used to perform some action on the listed
bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	577 errors. Example: >

7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	581 This prepends the line number to each line. Note the use of "\=" in the

651 bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	584 The BufWinEnter event is also triggered, again using "quickfix" for the buffer

7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	590 Note: Making changes in the quickfix window has no effect on the list of
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	591 errors. 'modifiable' is off to avoid making changes. If you delete or insert
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	592 lines anyway, the relation between the text and the error number is messed up.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	593 If you really want to do this, you could write the contents of the quickfix
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	594 window to a file and use ":cfile" to have it parsed and used as the new error

648 9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	598 The location list window displays the entries in a location list. When you
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	599 open a location list window, it is created below the current window and
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	600 displays the location list for the current window. The location list window
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	601 is similar to the quickfix window, except that you can have more than one
651 bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	602 location list window open at a time. When you use a location list command in
bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	603 this window, the displayed location list is used.
648 9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	604
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	605 When you select a file from the location list window, the following steps are
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	606 used to find a window to edit the file:
644 e4fa26ce8769 updated for version 7.0187 vimboss parents: 626 diff changeset	607
648 9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	608 1. If a window with the location list displayed in the location list window is
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	609 present, then the file is opened in that window.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	610 2. If the above step fails and if the file is already opened in another
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	611 window, then that window is used.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	612 3. If the above step fails then an existing window showing a buffer with
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	613 'buftype' not set is used.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	614 4. If the above step fails, then the file is edited in a new window.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	615
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	616 In all of the above cases, if the location list for the selected window is not
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	617 yet set, then it is set to the location list displayed in the location list

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	830 This is done by passing the command to the shell given with the 'shell'
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	831 option. This works almost like typing

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	839 example: >

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	842 [arguments] is anything that is typed after ":make".
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	843 {shellpipe} is the 'shellpipe' option.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	844 {errorfile} is the 'makeef' option, with ## replaced to make it unique.

2072 4a1bcdd9ea55 Updated runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <bram@zimbu.org> parents: 2033 diff changeset	846 The placeholder "$*" can be used for the argument list in {makeprg} if the
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	847 command needs some additional characters after its arguments. The $* is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	848 replaced then by all arguments. Example: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	849 :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$*}
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	850 or simpler >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	851 :let &mp = 'latex \\nonstopmode \\input\{$*}'
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	852 "$*" can be given multiple times, for example: >

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	855 The 'shellpipe' option defaults to ">" for the Amiga, MS-DOS and Win32. This
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	856 means that the output of the compiler is saved in a file and not shown on the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	857 screen directly. For Unix "\| tee" is used. The compiler output is shown on
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	858 the screen and saved in a file the same time. Depending on the shell used
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	859 "\|& tee" or "2>&1\| tee" is the default, so stderr output will be included.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	861 If 'shellpipe' is empty, the {errorfile} part will be omitted. This is useful
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	862 for compilers that write to an errorfile themselves (e.g., Manx's Amiga C).

f55897d6921d updated for version 7.0026 vimboss parents: 41 diff changeset	893 advantages are:
f55897d6921d updated for version 7.0026 vimboss parents: 41 diff changeset	894 - Line separators and encoding are automatically recognized, as if a file is

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1035 If you have a standard "grep" program installed, the :grep command may work
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1036 well with the defaults. The syntax is very similar to the standard command: >

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1038 :grep foo *.c

7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1041 arguments to :grep are passed straight to the "grep" program, so you can use
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1042 whatever options your "grep" supports.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1043
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1044 By default, :grep invokes grep with the -n option (show file and line
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1045 numbers). You can change this with the 'grepprg' option. You will need to set
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1046 'grepprg' if:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1047
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1048 a) You are using a program that isn't called "grep"
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1049 b) You have to call grep with a full path
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1050 c) You want to pass other options automatically (e.g. case insensitive
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1051 search.)
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1052
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1053 Once "grep" has executed, Vim parses the results using the 'grepformat'
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1054 option. This option works in the same way as the 'errorformat' option - see
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1055 that for details. You may need to change 'grepformat' from the default if
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1056 your grep outputs in a non-standard format, or you are using some other
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1057 program with a special format.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1058
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1059 Once the results are parsed, Vim loads the first file containing a match and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1060 jumps to the appropriate line, in the same way that it jumps to a compiler

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1082 look for functions and the functions they call. For example, suppose that you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1083 have to add an argument to the read_file() function. You enter this command: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1084
41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1085 :vimgrep /\<read_file\>/ *.c

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1087 You use ":cn" to go along the list of matches and add the argument. At one
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1088 place you have to get the new argument from a higher level function msg(), and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1089 need to change that one too. Thus you use: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1090
41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1091 :vimgrep /\<msg\>/ *.c

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1093 While changing the msg() functions, you find another function that needs to
41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1094 get the argument from a higher level. You can again use ":vimgrep" to find
f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1095 these functions. Once you are finished with one function, you can use >

41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1101 This works like browsing a tree: ":vimgrep" goes one level deeper, creating a
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1102 list of branches. ":colder" goes back to the previous level. You can mix
41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1103 this use of ":vimgrep" and "colder" to browse all the locations in a tree-like
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1104 way. If you do this consistently, you will find all locations without the

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1126 To support older Vim versions, the plugins always use "current_compiler" and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1127 not "b:current_compiler". What the command actually does is the following:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1128
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1129 - Delete the "current_compiler" and "b:current_compiler" variables.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1130 - Define the "CompilerSet" user command. With "!" it does ":set", without "!"
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1131 it does ":setlocal".
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1132 - Execute ":runtime! compiler/{name}.vim". The plugins are expected to set
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1133 options with "CompilerSet" and set the "current_compiler" variable to the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1134 name of the compiler.
170 8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	1135 - Delete the "CompilerSet" user command.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1156 To use Vim with Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga you should do the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1157 following:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1158 - Set the CCEDIT environment variable with the command: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1159 mset "CCEDIT=vim -q"
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1160 - Compile with the -qf option. If the compiler finds any errors, Vim is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1161 started and the cursor is positioned on the first error. The error message
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1162 will be displayed on the last line. You can go to other errors with the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1163 commands mentioned above. You can fix the errors and write the file(s).
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1164 - If you exit Vim normally the compiler will re-compile the same file. If you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1165 exit with the :cq command, the compiler will terminate. Do this if you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1166 cannot fix the error, or if another file needs to be compiled first.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1167
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1168 There are some restrictions to the Quickfix mode on the Amiga. The
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1169 compiler only writes the first 25 errors to the errorfile (Manx's
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1170 documentation does not say how to get more). If you want to find the others,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1171 you will have to fix a few errors and exit the editor. After recompiling,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1172 up to 25 remaining errors will be found.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1173
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1174 If Vim was started from the compiler, the :sh and some :! commands will not
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1175 work, because Vim is then running in the same process as the compiler and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1176 stdin (standard input) will not be interactive.

73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1195 starting from version 2.0. For older versions, you can get it from

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1198 When you run your tests with the help of the framework, possible errors
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1199 are parsed by Vim and presented for you in quick-fix mode.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1201 Unfortunately, there is no standard way to run the tests.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1212 Included in the distribution compiler for TeX ($VIMRUNTIME/compiler/tex.vim)
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1213 uses make command if possible. If the compiler finds a file named "Makefile"
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1214 or "makefile" in the current directory, it supposes that you want to process
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1215 your *TeX files with make, and the makefile does the right work. In this case
73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1216 compiler sets 'errorformat' for *TeX output and leaves 'makeprg' untouched. If
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1217 neither "Makefile" nor "makefile" is found, the compiler will not use make.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1218 You can force the compiler to ignore makefiles by defining
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1219 b:tex_ignore_makefile or g:tex_ignore_makefile variable (they are checked for
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1220 existence only).
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1221
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1222 If the compiler chose not to use make, it need to choose a right program for
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1223 processing your input. If b:tex_flavor or g:tex_flavor (in this precedence)
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1224 variable exists, it defines TeX flavor for :make (actually, this is the name
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1225 of executed command), and if both variables do not exist, it defaults to
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1226 "latex". For example, while editing chapter2.tex \input-ed from mypaper.tex

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1238 filename without extension ".tex" and mean this as "make filename.dvi or

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1489 The scanf()-like "%*[]" notation is supported for backward-compatibility
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1490 with previous versions of Vim. However, it is also possible to specify
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1491 (nearly) any Vim supported regular expression in format strings.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1492 Since meta characters of the regular expression language can be part of
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1493 ordinary matching strings or file names (and therefore internally have to
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1494 be escaped), meta symbols have to be written with leading '%':
787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1495 %\ The single '\' character. Note that this has to be
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1496 escaped ("%\\") in ":set errorformat=" definitions.
787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1497 %. The single '.' character.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1498 %# The single '*'(!) character.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1499 %^ The single '^' character. Note that this is not
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1500 useful, the pattern already matches start of line.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1501 %$ The single '$' character. Note that this is not
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1502 useful, the pattern already matches end of line.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1503 %[ The single '[' character for a [] character range.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1504 %~ The single '~' character.
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1505 When using character classes in expressions (see \|/\i\| for an overview),
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1506 terms containing the "\+" quantifier can be written in the scanf() "%*"
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1507 notation. Example: "%\\d%\\+" ("\d\+", "any number") is equivalent to "%*\\d".
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1508 Important note: The $...$ grouping of sub-matches can not be used in format

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1514 To be able to detect output from several compilers, several format patterns
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1515 may be put in 'errorformat', separated by commas (note: blanks after the comma
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1516 are ignored). The first pattern that has a complete match is used. If no
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1517 match is found, matching parts from the last one will be used, although the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1518 file name is removed and the error message is set to the whole message. If
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1519 there is a pattern that may match output from several compilers (but not in a
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1520 right way), put it after one that is more restrictive.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1522 To include a comma in a pattern precede it with a backslash (you have to type
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1523 two in a ":set" command). To include a backslash itself give two backslashes
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1524 (you have to type four in a ":set" command). You also need to put a backslash
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1525 before a space for ":set".

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1580 If you have a compiler that produces error messages that do not fit in the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1581 format string, you could write a program that translates the error messages
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1582 into this format. You can use this program with the ":make" command by
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1583 changing the 'makeprg' option. For example: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1584 :set mp=make\ \\\\|&\ error_filter
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1585 The backslashes before the pipe character are required to avoid it to be
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1586 recognized as a command separator. The backslash before each space is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1587 required for the set command.

237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1609 make output. For GNU-make this is rather simple, as it always prints the

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1616 Maintaining the correct directory is more complicated if you don't use
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1617 GNU-make. AIX-make for example doesn't print any information about its

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1624 messages Vim uses following algorithm:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1625
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1626 1) Check if the given directory is a subdirectory of the current directory.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1627 If this is true, store it as the current directory.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1628 2) If it is not a subdir of the current directory, try if this is a
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1629 subdirectory of one of the upper directories.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1630 3) If the directory still isn't found, it is assumed to be a subdirectory
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1631 of Vim's current directory.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1646 If make processes the directory "./dir1" before the current directory and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1647 there is an error in the file "./file1.c", you will end up with the file

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1827 Note that in some cases file names in the LaTeX output log cannot be parsed
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1828 properly. The parser might have been messed up by unbalanced parentheses
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1829 then. The above example tries to catch the most relevant cases only.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1830 You can customize the given setting to suit your own purposes, for example,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1831 all the annoying "Overfull ..." warnings could be excluded from being
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1832 recognized as an error.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1833 Alternatively to filtering the LaTeX compiler output, it is also possible
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1834 to directly read the *.log file that is produced by the [La]TeX compiler.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1835 This contains even more useful information about possible error causes.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1836 However, to properly parse such a complex file, an external filter should
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1837 be used. See the description further above how to make such a filter known
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1838 by Vim.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1839

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1841 In $VIMRUNTIME/tools you can find the efm_perl.pl script, which filters Perl
