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	603 When the quickfix window has been filled, two autocommand events are
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	604 triggered. First the 'filetype' option is set to "qf", which triggers the
651 bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	605 FileType event. Then the BufReadPost event is triggered, using "quickfix" for
bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	606 the buffer name. This can be used to perform some action on the listed

651 bc95c6c4bac1 updated for version 7.0191 vimboss parents: 648 diff changeset	614 The BufWinEnter event is also triggered, again using "quickfix" for the buffer

7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	620 Note: Making changes in the quickfix window has no effect on the list of

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	623 If you really want to do this, you could write the contents of the quickfix

648 9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	628 The location list window displays the entries in a location list. When you
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	629 open a location list window, it is created below the current window and
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	630 displays the location list for the current window. The location list window
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	631 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	632 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	633 this window, the displayed location list is used.

9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	635 When you select a file from the location list window, the following steps are

648 9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	638 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	639 present, then the file is opened in that window.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	640 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	641 window, then that window is used.
9032e4668296 updated for version 7.0189 vimboss parents: 647 diff changeset	642 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	643 'buftype' not set is used.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	889 "\|& tee" or "2>&1\| tee" is the default, so stderr output will be included.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	891 If 'shellpipe' is empty, the {errorfile} part will be omitted. This is useful
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	892 for compilers that write to an errorfile themselves (e.g., Manx's Amiga C).

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1111 Using the stack of error lists that Vim keeps, you can browse your files to
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1112 look for functions and the functions they call. For example, suppose that you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1113 have to add an argument to the read_file() function. You enter this command: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1114
41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1115 :vimgrep /\<read_file\>/ *.c

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1117 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	1118 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	1119 need to change that one too. Thus you use: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1120
41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1121 :vimgrep /\<msg\>/ *.c

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1123 While changing the msg() functions, you find another function that needs to
41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1124 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	1125 these functions. Once you are finished with one function, you can use >

41 f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1131 This works like browsing a tree: ":vimgrep" goes one level deeper, creating a
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1132 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	1133 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	1134 way. If you do this consistently, you will find all locations without the

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1156 To support older Vim versions, the plugins always use "current_compiler" and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1157 not "b:current_compiler". What the command actually does is the following:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1158
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1159 - Delete the "current_compiler" and "b:current_compiler" variables.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1160 - Define the "CompilerSet" user command. With "!" it does ":set", without "!"
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1161 it does ":setlocal".
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1162 - Execute ":runtime! compiler/{name}.vim". The plugins are expected to set
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1163 options with "CompilerSet" and set the "current_compiler" variable to the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1164 name of the compiler.
170 8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	1165 - Delete the "CompilerSet" user command.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1186 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	1187 following:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1188 - Set the CCEDIT environment variable with the command: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1189 mset "CCEDIT=vim -q"
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1190 - Compile with the -qf option. If the compiler finds any errors, Vim is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1191 started and the cursor is positioned on the first error. The error message
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1192 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	1193 commands mentioned above. You can fix the errors and write the file(s).
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1194 - 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	1195 exit with the :cq command, the compiler will terminate. Do this if you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1196 cannot fix the error, or if another file needs to be compiled first.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1197
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1198 There are some restrictions to the Quickfix mode on the Amiga. The
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1199 compiler only writes the first 25 errors to the errorfile (Manx's
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1200 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	1201 you will have to fix a few errors and exit the editor. After recompiling,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1202 up to 25 remaining errors will be found.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1203
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1204 If Vim was started from the compiler, the :sh and some :! commands will not
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1205 work, because Vim is then running in the same process as the compiler and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1206 stdin (standard input) will not be interactive.

237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1243 uses make command if possible. If the compiler finds a file named "Makefile"
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1244 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	1245 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	1246 compiler sets 'errorformat' for *TeX output and leaves 'makeprg' untouched. If
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1247 neither "Makefile" nor "makefile" is found, the compiler will not use make.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1248 You can force the compiler to ignore makefiles by defining
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1249 b:tex_ignore_makefile or g:tex_ignore_makefile variable (they are checked for

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1283 The 'errorformat' option specifies a list of formats that are recognized. The
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1284 first format that matches with an error message is used. You can add several
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1285 formats for different messages your compiler produces, or even entries for
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1286 multiple compilers. See \|efm-entries\|.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1288 Each entry in 'errorformat' is a scanf-like string that describes the format.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1289 First, you need to know how scanf works. Look in the documentation of your
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1290 C compiler. Below you find the % items that Vim understands. Others are
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1291 invalid.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1292
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1293 Special characters in 'errorformat' are comma and backslash. See
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1294 \|efm-entries\| for how to deal with them. Note that a literal "%" is matched
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1295 by "%%", thus it is not escaped with a backslash.

502 52e76e2b5b65 updated for version 7.0140 vimboss parents: 446 diff changeset	1326 The "%f" and "%m" conversions have to detect the end of the string. This
534 c6296b0ad9ea updated for version 7.0151 vimboss parents: 502 diff changeset	1327 normally happens by matching following characters and items. When nothing is
502 52e76e2b5b65 updated for version 7.0140 vimboss parents: 446 diff changeset	1328 following the rest of the line is matched. If "%f" is followed by a '%' or a
52e76e2b5b65 updated for version 7.0140 vimboss parents: 446 diff changeset	1329 backslash, it will look for a sequence of 'isfname' characters.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1335 The "%p" conversion is normally followed by a "^". It's used for compilers
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1336 that output a line like: >

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1431 Note that the %C string is given before the %A here: since the expression
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1432 ' %.%#' (which stands for the regular expression ' .*') matches every line
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1433 starting with a space, followed by any characters to the end of the line,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1434 it also hides line 7 which would trigger a separate error message otherwise.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1435 Error format strings are always parsed pattern by pattern until the first

98a88a884610 updated for version 7.0230 vimboss parents: 787 diff changeset	1440 For example, if the error looks like this:

787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1449 Important: There is no memory of what part of the errorformat matched before;
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1450 every line in the error file gets a complete new run through the error format
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1451 lines. For example, if one has: >
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1452 setlocal efm=aa,bb,cc,dd,ee
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1453 Where aa, bb, etc. are error format strings. Each line of the error file will
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1454 be matched to the pattern aa, then bb, then cc, etc. Just because cc matched
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1455 the previous error line does _not_ mean that dd will be tried first on the
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1456 current line, even if cc and dd are multi-line errorformat strings.

237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1496 can be used to match several patterns in the same line. Thus it is possible

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1519 The scanf()-like "%*[]" notation is supported for backward-compatibility
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1520 with previous versions of Vim. However, it is also possible to specify

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1522 Since meta characters of the regular expression language can be part of
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1523 ordinary matching strings or file names (and therefore internally have to
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1524 be escaped), meta symbols have to be written with leading '%':
787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1525 %\ The single '\' character. Note that this has to be
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1526 escaped ("%\\") in ":set errorformat=" definitions.
787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1527 %. The single '.' character.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1528 %# The single '*'(!) character.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1529 %^ The single '^' character. Note that this is not
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1530 useful, the pattern already matches start of line.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1531 %$ The single '$' character. Note that this is not
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1532 useful, the pattern already matches end of line.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1533 %[ The single '[' character for a [] character range.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1534 %~ The single '~' character.
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1535 When using character classes in expressions (see \|/\i\| for an overview),
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1536 terms containing the "\+" quantifier can be written in the scanf() "%*"
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1537 notation. Example: "%\\d%\\+" ("\d\+", "any number") is equivalent to "%*\\d".
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1538 Important note: The $...$ grouping of sub-matches can not be used in format
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1539 specifications because it is reserved for internal conversions.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1544 To be able to detect output from several compilers, several format patterns
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1545 may be put in 'errorformat', separated by commas (note: blanks after the comma
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1546 are ignored). The first pattern that has a complete match is used. If no
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1547 match is found, matching parts from the last one will be used, although the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1548 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	1549 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	1550 right way), put it after one that is more restrictive.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1552 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	1553 two in a ":set" command). To include a backslash itself give two backslashes
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1554 (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	1555 before a space for ":set".

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1610 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	1611 format string, you could write a program that translates the error messages
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1612 into this format. You can use this program with the ":make" command by
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1613 changing the 'makeprg' option. For example: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1614 :set mp=make\ \\\\|&\ error_filter
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1615 The backslashes before the pipe character are required to avoid it to be
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1616 recognized as a command separator. The backslash before each space is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1617 required for the set command.

237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1639 make output. For GNU-make this is rather simple, as it always prints the

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1656 1) Check if the given directory is a subdirectory of the current directory.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1657 If this is true, store it as the current directory.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1658 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	1659 subdirectory of one of the upper directories.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1660 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	1677 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	1770 The 'errorformat' can also be configured to handle ant together with either

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1858 properly. The parser might have been messed up by unbalanced parentheses
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1859 then. The above example tries to catch the most relevant cases only.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1860 You can customize the given setting to suit your own purposes, for example,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1861 all the annoying "Overfull ..." warnings could be excluded from being
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1862 recognized as an error.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1863 Alternatively to filtering the LaTeX compiler output, it is also possible
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1864 to directly read the *.log file that is produced by the [La]TeX compiler.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1865 This contains even more useful information about possible error causes.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1866 However, to properly parse such a complex file, an external filter should
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1867 be used. See the description further above how to make such a filter known
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1868 by Vim.
