| 4 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar | |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 This subject is introduced in section |30.1| of the user manual. | |
| 8 | |
| 9 1. Using QuickFix commands |quickfix| | |
| 10 2. The error window |quickfix-window| | |
| 11 3. Using more than one list of errors |quickfix-error-lists| | |
| 12 4. Using :make |:make_makeprg| | |
| 13 5. Using :grep |grep| | |
| 14 6. Selecting a compiler |compiler-select| | |
| 15 7. The error format |error-file-format| | |
| 16 8. The directory stack |quickfix-directory-stack| | |
| 17 9. Specific error file formats |errorformats| | |
| 18 | |
| 19 {Vi does not have any of these commands} | |
| 20 | |
| 21 The quickfix commands are not available when the |+quickfix| feature was | |
| 22 disabled at compile time. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 ============================================================================= | |
| 25 1. Using QuickFix commands *quickfix* *Quickfix* *E42* | |
| 26 | |
| 27 Vim has a special mode to speedup the edit-compile-edit cycle. This is | |
| 28 inspired by the quickfix option of the Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga. | |
| 29 The idea is to save the error messages from the compiler in a file and use Vim | |
| 30 to jump to the errors one by one. You can examine each problem and fix it, | |
| 31 without having to remember all the error messages. | |
| 32 | |
| 170 | 33 In Vim the quickfix commands are used more generally to find a list of |
| 34 positions in files. For example, |:vimgrep| finds pattern matches. You can | |
| 231 | 35 use the positions in a script with the |getqflist()| function. Thus you can |
| 170 | 36 do a lot more than the edit/compile/fix cycle! |
| 37 | |
| 7 | 38 If you are using Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga look here for how to use |
| 39 it with Vim: |quickfix-manx|. If you are using another compiler you should | |
| 40 save the error messages in a file and start Vim with "vim -q filename". An | |
| 41 easy way to do this is with the |:make| command (see below). The | |
| 42 'errorformat' option should be set to match the error messages from your | |
| 43 compiler (see |errorformat| below). | |
| 44 | |
| 644 | 45 *location-list* *E776* |
| 648 | 46 A location list is similar to a quickfix list and contains a list of positions |
| 47 in files. A location list is associated with a window and each window can | |
| 48 have a separate location list. A location list can be associated with only | |
| 49 one window. The location list is independent of the quickfix list. | |
| 644 | 50 |
| 648 | 51 When a window with a location list is split, the new window gets a copy of the |
| 52 location list. When there are no references to a location list, the location | |
| 53 list is destroyed. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 The following quickfix commands can be used. The location list commands are | |
| 56 similar to the quickfix commands, replacing the 'c' prefix in the quickfix | |
| 57 command with 'l'. | |

| 70 work when jumping to another buffer, the current buffer | |
| 71 has been changed, there is the only window for the | |
| 72 buffer and both 'hidden' and 'autowrite' are off. | |
| 73 When jumping to another buffer with [!] any changes to | |

| 150 | |
| 7 | 151 *:cq* *:cquit* |
| 1624 | 152 :cq[uit][!] Quit Vim with an error code, so that the compiler |
| 7 | 153 will not compile the same file again. |
| 1624 | 154 WARNING: All changes in files are lost! Also when the |
| 155 [!] is not used. It works like ":qall!" |:qall|, | |
| 156 except that Vim returns a non-zero exit code. | |
| 7 | 157 |
| 158 *:cf* *:cfile* | |
| 159 :cf[ile][!] [errorfile] Read the error file and jump to the first error. | |
| 160 This is done automatically when Vim is started with | |
| 161 the -q option. You can use this command when you | |
| 162 keep Vim running while compiling. If you give the | |
| 163 name of the errorfile, the 'errorfile' option will | |
| 164 be set to [errorfile]. See |:cc| for [!]. | |
| 165 | |
| 644 | 166 *:lf* *:lfile* |
| 167 :lf[ile][!] [errorfile] Same as ":cfile", except the location list for the | |

| 856 | 172 |
| 1624 | 173 :cg[etfile] [errorfile] *:cg* *:cgetfile* |

| 180 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 181 | |
| 625 | 182 *:caddf* *:caddfile* |
| 183 :caddf[ile] [errorfile] Read the error file and add the errors from the | |
| 446 | 184 errorfile to the current quickfix list. If a quickfix |
| 185 list is not present, then a new list is created. | |
| 186 | |
| 644 | 187 *:laddf* *:laddfile* |
| 188 :laddf[ile] [errorfile] Same as ":caddfile", except the location list for the | |

| 190 | |
| 41 | 191 *:cb* *:cbuffer* *E681* |
| 1084 | 192 :cb[uffer][!] [bufnr] Read the error list from the current buffer. |
| 41 | 193 When [bufnr] is given it must be the number of a |
| 194 loaded buffer. That buffer will then be used instead | |
| 195 of the current buffer. | |
| 196 A range can be specified for the lines to be used. | |
| 197 Otherwise all lines in the buffer are used. | |
| 1084 | 198 See |:cc| for [!]. |
| 41 | 199 |
| 644 | 200 *:lb* *:lbuffer* |
| 1084 | 201 :lb[uffer][!] [bufnr] Same as ":cbuffer", except the location list for the |
| 644 | 202 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. |
| 203 | |
| 798 | 204 *:cgetb* *:cgetbuffer* |
| 205 :cgetb[uffer] [bufnr] Read the error list from the current buffer. Just | |
| 206 like ":cbuffer" but don't jump to the first error. | |
| 207 | |
| 208 *:lgetb* *:lgetbuffer* | |
| 209 :lgetb[uffer] [bufnr] Same as ":cgetbuffer", except the location list for | |
| 210 the current window is used instead of the quickfix | |
| 211 list. | |
| 212 | |
| 5734 | 213 *:cad* *:caddbuffer* |
| 5763 | 214 :cad[dbuffer] [bufnr] Read the error list from the current buffer and add |
| 658 | 215 the errors to the current quickfix list. If a |
| 216 quickfix list is not present, then a new list is | |
| 217 created. Otherwise, same as ":cbuffer". | |
| 218 | |
| 219 *:laddb* *:laddbuffer* | |
| 220 :laddb[uffer] [bufnr] Same as ":caddbuffer", except the location list for | |
| 221 the current window is used instead of the quickfix | |
| 222 list. | |
| 223 | |
| 626 | 224 *:cex* *:cexpr* *E777* |
| 625 | 225 :cex[pr][!] {expr} Create a quickfix list using the result of {expr} and |
| 2833 | 226 jump to the first error. |

230 quickfix list. |
| 2833 | 231 If {expr} is a List, then each String item in the list |
| 232 is processed and added to the quickfix list. Non | |
| 233 String items in the List are ignored. | |
| 234 See |:cc| for [!]. | |
| 446 | 235 Examples: > |
| 236 :cexpr system('grep -n xyz *') | |
| 237 :cexpr getline(1, '$') | |
| 238 < | |
| 644 | 239 *:lex* *:lexpr* |
| 2833 | 240 :lex[pr][!] {expr} Same as |:cexpr|, except the location list for the |
| 644 | 241 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. |
| 242 | |
| 800 | 243 *:cgete* *:cgetexpr* |
| 1624 | 244 :cgete[xpr] {expr} Create a quickfix list using the result of {expr}. |
| 2833 | 245 Just like |:cexpr|, but don't jump to the first error. |
| 800 | 246 |
| 247 *:lgete* *:lgetexpr* | |
| 2833 | 248 :lgete[xpr] {expr} Same as |:cgetexpr|, except the location list for the |
| 800 | 249 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. |
| 250 | |
| 5734 | 251 *:cadde* *:caddexpr* |
| 5763 | 252 :cadde[xpr] {expr} Evaluate {expr} and add the resulting lines to the |
| 625 | 253 current quickfix list. If a quickfix list is not |
| 254 present, then a new list is created. The current | |
| 255 cursor position will not be changed. See |:cexpr| for | |
| 256 more information. | |
| 257 Example: > | |
| 258 :g/mypattern/caddexpr expand("%") . ":" . line(".") . ":" . getline(".") | |
| 259 < | |
| 644 | 260 *:lad* *:laddexpr* |
| 1624 | 261 :lad[dexpr] {expr} Same as ":caddexpr", except the location list for the |
| 644 | 262 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. |
| 263 | |
| 7 | 264 *:cl* *:clist* |
| 265 :cl[ist] [from] [, [to]] | |
| 266 List all errors that are valid |quickfix-valid|. | |
| 267 If numbers [from] and/or [to] are given, the respective | |
| 237 | 268 range of errors is listed. A negative number counts |
| 7 | 269 from the last error backwards, -1 being the last error. |
| 270 The 'switchbuf' settings are respected when jumping | |
| 271 to a buffer. | |
| 272 | |
| 273 :cl[ist]! [from] [, [to]] | |
| 274 List all errors. | |
| 275 | |
| 644 | 276 *:lli* *:llist* |
| 277 :lli[st] [from] [, [to]] | |
| 278 Same as ":clist", except the location list for the | |
| 279 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 280 | |
| 281 :lli[st]! [from] [, [to]] | |
| 282 List all the entries in the location list for the | |
| 283 current window. | |
| 284 | |
| 7 | 285 If you insert or delete lines, mostly the correct error location is still |
| 286 found because hidden marks are used. Sometimes, when the mark has been | |
| 287 deleted for some reason, the message "line changed" is shown to warn you that | |
| 288 the error location may not be correct. If you quit Vim and start again the | |
| 289 marks are lost and the error locations may not be correct anymore. | |
| 290 | |
| 163 | 291 If vim is built with |+autocmd| support, two autocommands are available for |
| 292 running commands before and after a quickfix command (':make', ':grep' and so | |
| 293 on) is executed. See |QuickFixCmdPre| and |QuickFixCmdPost| for details. | |
| 294 | |
| 1624 | 295 *QuickFixCmdPost-example* |
| 296 When 'encoding' differs from the locale, the error messages may have a | |
| 297 different encoding from what Vim is using. To convert the messages you can | |
| 298 use this code: > | |
| 299 function QfMakeConv() | |
| 300 let qflist = getqflist() | |
| 301 for i in qflist | |
| 302 let i.text = iconv(i.text, "cp936", "utf-8") | |
| 303 endfor | |
| 304 call setqflist(qflist) | |
| 305 endfunction | |
| 306 | |
| 307 au QuickfixCmdPost make call QfMakeConv() | |

| 5763 | 384 |
| 7 | 385 When [height] is given, the window becomes that high |
| 5763 | 386 (if there is room). When [height] is omitted the |
| 387 window is made ten lines high. | |
| 388 | |

| 390 the current window. It is not possible to open a | |
| 391 second quickfix window. If [height] is given the | |
| 392 existing window will be resized to it. | |
| 393 | |
| 7 | 394 The window will contain a special buffer, with |
| 395 'buftype' equal to "quickfix". Don't change this! | |
| 5763 | 396 The window will have the w:quickfix_title variable set |
| 397 which will indicate the command that produced the | |

| 647 | 405 the current window is present. You can have more than |
| 406 one location window opened at a time. Otherwise, it | |
| 648 | 407 acts the same as ":copen". |
| 644 | 408 |
| 7 | 409 *:ccl* *:cclose* |
| 410 :ccl[ose] Close the quickfix window. | |
| 411 | |
| 644 | 412 *:lcl* *:lclose* |
| 413 :lcl[ose] Close the window showing the location list for the | |
| 414 current window. | |
| 415 | |
| 7 | 416 *:cw* *:cwindow* |
| 417 :cw[indow] [height] Open the quickfix window when there are recognized | |
| 418 errors. If the window is already open and there are | |
| 419 no recognized errors, close the window. | |
| 420 | |
| 644 | 421 *:lw* *:lwindow* |
| 422 :lw[indow] [height] Same as ":cwindow", except use the window showing the | |
| 423 location list for the current window. | |
| 7 | 424 |
| 425 Normally the quickfix window is at the bottom of the screen. If there are | |
| 426 vertical splits, it's at the bottom of the rightmost column of windows. To | |
| 427 make it always occupy the full width: > | |
| 428 :botright cwindow | |
| 429 You can move the window around with |window-moving| commands. | |
| 430 For example, to move it to the top: CTRL-W K | |
| 431 The 'winfixheight' option will be set, which means that the window will mostly | |
| 432 keep its height, ignoring 'winheight' and 'equalalways'. You can change the | |
| 433 height manually (e.g., by dragging the status line above it with the mouse). | |
| 434 | |
| 435 In the quickfix window, each line is one error. The line number is equal to | |
| 436 the error number. You can use ":.cc" to jump to the error under the cursor. | |
| 170 | 437 Hitting the <Enter> key or double-clicking the mouse on a line has the same |
| 7 | 438 effect. The file containing the error is opened in the window above the |
| 439 quickfix window. If there already is a window for that file, it is used | |
| 440 instead. If the buffer in the used window has changed, and the error is in | |
| 441 another file, jumping to the error will fail. You will first have to make | |
| 442 sure the window contains a buffer which can be abandoned. | |
| 170 | 443 *CTRL-W_<Enter>* *CTRL-W_<CR>* |
| 444 You can use CTRL-W <Enter> to open a new window and jump to the error there. | |
| 7 | 445 |
| 446 When the quickfix window has been filled, two autocommand events are | |
| 447 triggered. First the 'filetype' option is set to "qf", which triggers the | |
| 651 | 448 FileType event. Then the BufReadPost event is triggered, using "quickfix" for |
| 449 the buffer name. This can be used to perform some action on the listed | |
| 450 errors. Example: > | |
| 648 | 451 au BufReadPost quickfix setlocal modifiable |
| 452 \ | silent exe 'g/^/s//\=line(".")." "/' | |
| 453 \ | setlocal nomodifiable | |
| 7 | 454 This prepends the line number to each line. Note the use of "\=" in the |
| 455 substitute string of the ":s" command, which is used to evaluate an | |
| 456 expression. | |
| 651 | 457 The BufWinEnter event is also triggered, again using "quickfix" for the buffer |
| 458 name. | |
| 7 | 459 |
| 460 Note: Making changes in the quickfix window has no effect on the list of | |
| 461 errors. 'modifiable' is off to avoid making changes. If you delete or insert | |
| 462 lines anyway, the relation between the text and the error number is messed up. | |
| 463 If you really want to do this, you could write the contents of the quickfix | |
| 464 window to a file and use ":cfile" to have it parsed and used as the new error | |
| 465 list. | |
| 466 | |
| 644 | 467 *location-list-window* |
| 648 | 468 The location list window displays the entries in a location list. When you |
| 469 open a location list window, it is created below the current window and | |
| 470 displays the location list for the current window. The location list window | |
| 471 is similar to the quickfix window, except that you can have more than one | |
| 651 | 472 location list window open at a time. When you use a location list command in |
| 473 this window, the displayed location list is used. | |
| 648 | 474 |
| 475 When you select a file from the location list window, the following steps are | |
| 476 used to find a window to edit the file: | |
| 644 | 477 |
| 648 | 478 1. If a window with the location list displayed in the location list window is |
| 479 present, then the file is opened in that window. | |
| 480 2. If the above step fails and if the file is already opened in another | |
| 481 window, then that window is used. | |
| 482 3. If the above step fails then an existing window showing a buffer with | |
| 483 'buftype' not set is used. | |
| 484 4. If the above step fails, then the file is edited in a new window. | |
| 485 | |
| 486 In all of the above cases, if the location list for the selected window is not | |
| 487 yet set, then it is set to the location list displayed in the location list | |
| 488 window. | |
| 644 | 489 |
| 7 | 490 ============================================================================= |
| 491 3. Using more than one list of errors *quickfix-error-lists* | |
| 492 | |
| 493 So far has been assumed that there is only one list of errors. Actually the | |
| 494 ten last used lists are remembered. When starting a new list, the previous | |
| 495 ones are automatically kept. Two commands can be used to access older error | |
| 496 lists. They set one of the existing error lists as the current one. | |
| 497 | |
| 498 *:colder* *:col* *E380* | |
| 499 :col[der] [count] Go to older error list. When [count] is given, do | |
| 500 this [count] times. When already at the oldest error | |
| 501 list, an error message is given. | |
| 502 | |
| 644 | 503 *:lolder* *:lol* |
| 504 :lol[der] [count] Same as ":colder", except use the location list for | |
| 505 the current window instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 506 | |
| 7 | 507 *:cnewer* *:cnew* *E381* |
| 508 :cnew[er] [count] Go to newer error list. When [count] is given, do | |
| 509 this [count] times. When already at the newest error | |
| 510 list, an error message is given. | |
| 511 | |
| 644 | 512 *:lnewer* *:lnew* |
| 513 :lnew[er] [count] Same as ":cnewer", except use the location list for | |
| 514 the current window instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 515 | |
| 7 | 516 When adding a new error list, it becomes the current list. |
| 517 | |
| 518 When ":colder" has been used and ":make" or ":grep" is used to add a new error | |
| 519 list, one newer list is overwritten. This is especially useful if you are | |
| 520 browsing with ":grep" |grep|. If you want to keep the more recent error | |
| 521 lists, use ":cnewer 99" first. | |
| 522 | |
| 523 ============================================================================= | |
| 524 4. Using :make *:make_makeprg* | |
| 525 | |
| 526 *:mak* *:make* | |
| 163 | 527 :mak[e][!] [arguments] 1. If vim was built with |+autocmd|, all relevant |
| 528 |QuickFixCmdPre| autocommands are executed. | |
| 529 2. If the 'autowrite' option is on, write any changed | |
| 7 | 530 buffers |
| 163 | 531 3. An errorfile name is made from 'makeef'. If |
| 7 | 532 'makeef' doesn't contain "##", and a file with this |
| 533 name already exists, it is deleted. | |
| 163 | 534 4. The program given with the 'makeprg' option is |
| 7 | 535 started (default "make") with the optional |
| 536 [arguments] and the output is saved in the | |
| 537 errorfile (for Unix it is also echoed on the | |
| 538 screen). | |
| 163 | 539 5. The errorfile is read using 'errorformat'. |
| 1167 | 540 6. If vim was built with |+autocmd|, all relevant |
| 163 | 541 |QuickFixCmdPost| autocommands are executed. |
| 1624 | 542 See example below. |
| 1167 | 543 7. If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to. |
| 544 8. The errorfile is deleted. | |
| 163 | 545 9. You can now move through the errors with commands |
| 7 | 546 like |:cnext| and |:cprevious|, see above. |
| 547 This command does not accept a comment, any " | |
| 548 characters are considered part of the arguments. | |
| 549 | |
| 658 | 550 *:lmak* *:lmake* |
| 551 :lmak[e][!] [arguments] | |
| 552 Same as ":make", except the location list for the | |
| 553 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 554 | |
| 7 | 555 The ":make" command executes the command given with the 'makeprg' option. |
| 556 This is done by passing the command to the shell given with the 'shell' | |
| 557 option. This works almost like typing | |
| 558 | |
| 559 ":!{makeprg} [arguments] {shellpipe} {errorfile}". | |
| 560 | |
| 561 {makeprg} is the string given with the 'makeprg' option. Any command can be | |
| 562 used, not just "make". Characters '%' and '#' are expanded as usual on a | |
| 563 command-line. You can use "%<" to insert the current file name without | |
| 564 extension, or "#<" to insert the alternate file name without extension, for | |
| 565 example: > | |
| 566 :set makeprg=make\ #<.o | |
| 567 | |
| 568 [arguments] is anything that is typed after ":make". | |
| 569 {shellpipe} is the 'shellpipe' option. | |
| 570 {errorfile} is the 'makeef' option, with ## replaced to make it unique. | |
| 571 | |
| 2072 | 572 The placeholder "$*" can be used for the argument list in {makeprg} if the |
| 7 | 573 command needs some additional characters after its arguments. The $* is |
| 574 replaced then by all arguments. Example: > | |
| 575 :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$*} | |
| 576 or simpler > | |
| 577 :let &mp = 'latex \\nonstopmode \\input\{$*}' | |
| 578 "$*" can be given multiple times, for example: > | |
| 579 :set makeprg=gcc\ -o\ $*\ $* | |
| 580 | |
| 581 The 'shellpipe' option defaults to ">" for the Amiga, MS-DOS and Win32. This | |
| 582 means that the output of the compiler is saved in a file and not shown on the | |
| 583 screen directly. For Unix "| tee" is used. The compiler output is shown on | |
| 584 the screen and saved in a file the same time. Depending on the shell used | |
| 585 "|& tee" or "2>&1| tee" is the default, so stderr output will be included. | |
| 586 | |
| 587 If 'shellpipe' is empty, the {errorfile} part will be omitted. This is useful | |
| 588 for compilers that write to an errorfile themselves (e.g., Manx's Amiga C). | |
| 589 | |
| 1624 | 590 |
| 591 Using QuickFixCmdPost to fix the encoding ~ | |
| 592 | |
| 593 It may be that 'encoding' is set to an encoding that differs from the messages | |
| 594 your build program produces. This example shows how to fix this after Vim has | |
| 595 read the error messages: > | |
| 596 | |
| 597 function QfMakeConv() | |
| 598 let qflist = getqflist() | |
| 599 for i in qflist | |
| 600 let i.text = iconv(i.text, "cp936", "utf-8") | |
| 601 endfor | |
| 602 call setqflist(qflist) | |
| 603 endfunction | |
| 604 | |
| 605 au QuickfixCmdPost make call QfMakeConv() | |
| 606 | |
| 607 (Example by Faque Cheng) | |
| 608 | |
| 7 | 609 ============================================================================== |
| 41 | 610 5. Using :vimgrep and :grep *grep* *lid* |
| 611 | |
| 612 Vim has two ways to find matches for a pattern: Internal and external. The | |
| 613 advantage of the internal grep is that it works on all systems and uses the | |
| 614 powerful Vim search patterns. An external grep program can be used when the | |
| 615 Vim grep does not do what you want. | |
| 616 | |
| 43 | 617 The internal method will be slower, because files are read into memory. The |
| 618 advantages are: | |
| 619 - Line separators and encoding are automatically recognized, as if a file is | |
| 620 being edited. | |
| 621 - Uses Vim search patterns. Multi-line patterns can be used. | |
| 622 - When plugins are enabled: compressed and remote files can be searched. | |
| 623 |gzip| |netrw| | |
| 717 | 624 |
| 625 To be able to do this Vim loads each file as if it is being edited. When | |
| 720 | 626 there is no match in the file the associated buffer is wiped out again. The |
| 717 | 627 'hidden' option is ignored here to avoid running out of memory or file |
| 628 descriptors when searching many files. However, when the |:hide| command | |
| 629 modifier is used the buffers are kept loaded. This makes following searches | |
| 630 in the same files a lot faster. | |

| 641 5.1 using Vim's internal grep | |
| 642 | |
| 86 | 643 *:vim* *:vimgrep* *E682* *E683* |
| 170 | 644 :vim[grep][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... |
| 41 | 645 Search for {pattern} in the files {file} ... and set |
| 3682 | 646 the error list to the matches. Files matching |
| 647 'wildignore' are ignored; files in 'suffixes' are | |
| 648 searched last. | |
| 170 | 649 Without the 'g' flag each line is added only once. |
| 650 With 'g' every match is added. | |
| 651 | |
| 652 {pattern} is a Vim search pattern. Instead of | |
| 653 enclosing it in / any non-ID character (see | |
| 654 |'isident'|) can be used, so long as it does not | |
| 655 appear in {pattern}. | |
| 656 'ignorecase' applies. To overrule it put |/\c| in the | |
| 657 pattern to ignore case or |/\C| to match case. | |
| 658 'smartcase' is not used. | |
| 4197 | 659 If {pattern} is empty (e.g. // is specified), the last |
| 660 used search pattern is used. |last-pattern| | |
| 170 | 661 |
| 716 | 662 When a number is put before the command this is used |
| 663 as the maximum number of matches to find. Use | |
| 664 ":1vimgrep pattern file" to find only the first. | |
| 665 Useful if you only want to check if there is a match | |
| 666 and quit quickly when it's found. | |
| 667 | |
| 170 | 668 Without the 'j' flag Vim jumps to the first match. |
| 669 With 'j' only the quickfix list is updated. | |
| 670 With the [!] any changes in the current buffer are | |
| 671 abandoned. | |
| 672 | |
| 123 | 673 Every second or so the searched file name is displayed |
| 674 to give you an idea of the progress made. | |
| 43 | 675 Examples: > |
| 676 :vimgrep /an error/ *.c | |
| 677 :vimgrep /\<FileName\>/ *.h include/* | |
| 445 | 678 :vimgrep /myfunc/ **/*.c |
| 679 < For the use of "**" see |starstar-wildcard|. | |
| 41 | 680 |
| 43 | 681 :vim[grep][!] {pattern} {file} ... |
| 682 Like above, but instead of enclosing the pattern in a | |
| 683 non-ID character use a white-separated pattern. The | |
| 684 pattern must start with an ID character. | |
| 685 Example: > | |
| 686 :vimgrep Error *.c | |
| 687 < | |
| 658 | 688 *:lv* *:lvimgrep* |
| 689 :lv[imgrep][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... | |
| 690 :lv[imgrep][!] {pattern} {file} ... | |
| 691 Same as ":vimgrep", except the location list for the | |
| 692 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 693 | |
| 41 | 694 *:vimgrepa* *:vimgrepadd* |
| 170 | 695 :vimgrepa[dd][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... |
| 696 :vimgrepa[dd][!] {pattern} {file} ... | |
| 41 | 697 Just like ":vimgrep", but instead of making a new list |
| 698 of errors the matches are appended to the current | |
| 699 list. | |
| 700 | |
| 658 | 701 *:lvimgrepa* *:lvimgrepadd* |
| 702 :lvimgrepa[dd][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... | |
| 703 :lvimgrepa[dd][!] {pattern} {file} ... | |
| 704 Same as ":vimgrepadd", except the location list for | |
| 705 the current window is used instead of the quickfix | |
| 706 list. | |
| 41 | 707 |
| 708 5.2 External grep | |
| 7 | 709 |
| 710 Vim can interface with "grep" and grep-like programs (such as the GNU | |
| 711 id-utils) in a similar way to its compiler integration (see |:make| above). | |
| 712 | |
| 713 [Unix trivia: The name for the Unix "grep" command comes from ":g/re/p", where | |
| 714 "re" stands for Regular Expression.] | |
| 715 | |
| 716 *:gr* *:grep* | |
| 717 :gr[ep][!] [arguments] Just like ":make", but use 'grepprg' instead of | |
| 718 'makeprg' and 'grepformat' instead of 'errorformat'. | |
| 41 | 719 When 'grepprg' is "internal" this works like |
| 720 |:vimgrep|. Note that the pattern needs to be | |
| 721 enclosed in separator characters then. | |
| 658 | 722 |
| 723 *:lgr* *:lgrep* | |
| 724 :lgr[ep][!] [arguments] Same as ":grep", except the location list for the | |
| 725 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 726 | |
| 7 | 727 *:grepa* *:grepadd* |
| 728 :grepa[dd][!] [arguments] | |
| 729 Just like ":grep", but instead of making a new list of | |
| 730 errors the matches are appended to the current list. | |

| 750 | |
| 41 | 751 5.3 Setting up external grep |
| 7 | 752 |
| 753 If you have a standard "grep" program installed, the :grep command may work | |
| 237 | 754 well with the defaults. The syntax is very similar to the standard command: > |
| 7 | 755 |
| 756 :grep foo *.c | |
| 757 | |
| 237 | 758 Will search all files with the .c extension for the substring "foo". The |
| 7 | 759 arguments to :grep are passed straight to the "grep" program, so you can use |
| 760 whatever options your "grep" supports. | |
| 761 | |
| 762 By default, :grep invokes grep with the -n option (show file and line | |
| 237 | 763 numbers). You can change this with the 'grepprg' option. You will need to set |
| 7 | 764 'grepprg' if: |
| 765 | |
| 766 a) You are using a program that isn't called "grep" | |
| 767 b) You have to call grep with a full path | |
| 768 c) You want to pass other options automatically (e.g. case insensitive | |
| 769 search.) | |
| 770 | |
| 771 Once "grep" has executed, Vim parses the results using the 'grepformat' | |
| 772 option. This option works in the same way as the 'errorformat' option - see | |
| 773 that for details. You may need to change 'grepformat' from the default if | |
| 774 your grep outputs in a non-standard format, or you are using some other | |
| 775 program with a special format. | |
| 776 | |
| 777 Once the results are parsed, Vim loads the first file containing a match and | |
| 778 jumps to the appropriate line, in the same way that it jumps to a compiler | |
| 779 error in |quickfix| mode. You can then use the |:cnext|, |:clist|, etc. | |
| 780 commands to see the other matches. | |
| 781 | |
| 782 | |
| 41 | 783 5.4 Using :grep with id-utils |
| 7 | 784 |
| 785 You can set up :grep to work with the GNU id-utils like this: > | |
| 786 | |
| 787 :set grepprg=lid\ -Rgrep\ -s | |
| 788 :set grepformat=%f:%l:%m | |
| 789 | |
| 790 then > | |
| 791 :grep (regexp) | |
| 792 | |
| 793 works just as you'd expect. | |
| 794 (provided you remembered to mkid first :) | |
| 795 | |
| 796 | |
| 41 | 797 5.5 Browsing source code with :vimgrep or :grep |
| 7 | 798 |
| 799 Using the stack of error lists that Vim keeps, you can browse your files to | |
| 800 look for functions and the functions they call. For example, suppose that you | |
| 801 have to add an argument to the read_file() function. You enter this command: > | |
| 802 | |
| 41 | 803 :vimgrep /\<read_file\>/ *.c |
| 7 | 804 |
| 805 You use ":cn" to go along the list of matches and add the argument. At one | |
| 806 place you have to get the new argument from a higher level function msg(), and | |
| 807 need to change that one too. Thus you use: > | |
| 808 | |
| 41 | 809 :vimgrep /\<msg\>/ *.c |
| 7 | 810 |
| 811 While changing the msg() functions, you find another function that needs to | |
| 41 | 812 get the argument from a higher level. You can again use ":vimgrep" to find |
| 813 these functions. Once you are finished with one function, you can use > | |
| 7 | 814 |
| 815 :colder | |
| 816 | |
| 817 to go back to the previous one. | |
| 818 | |
| 41 | 819 This works like browsing a tree: ":vimgrep" goes one level deeper, creating a |
| 7 | 820 list of branches. ":colder" goes back to the previous level. You can mix |
| 41 | 821 this use of ":vimgrep" and "colder" to browse all the locations in a tree-like |
| 7 | 822 way. If you do this consistently, you will find all locations without the |
| 823 need to write down a "todo" list. | |
| 824 | |
| 825 ============================================================================= | |
| 826 6. Selecting a compiler *compiler-select* | |
| 827 | |
| 828 *:comp* *:compiler* *E666* | |
| 829 :comp[iler][!] {name} Set options to work with compiler {name}. | |
| 830 Without the "!" options are set for the | |
| 831 current buffer. With "!" global options are | |
| 832 set. | |
| 833 If you use ":compiler foo" in "file.foo" and | |
| 834 then ":compiler! bar" in another buffer, Vim | |
| 835 will keep on using "foo" in "file.foo". | |
| 836 {not available when compiled without the | |
| 837 |+eval| feature} | |
| 838 | |
| 839 | |
| 840 The Vim plugins in the "compiler" directory will set options to use the | |
| 841 selected compiler. For ":compiler" local options are set, for ":compiler!" | |
| 842 global options. | |
| 843 *current_compiler* | |
| 844 To support older Vim versions, the plugins always use "current_compiler" and | |
| 845 not "b:current_compiler". What the command actually does is the following: | |
| 846 | |
| 847 - Delete the "current_compiler" and "b:current_compiler" variables. | |
| 848 - Define the "CompilerSet" user command. With "!" it does ":set", without "!" | |
| 849 it does ":setlocal". | |
| 850 - Execute ":runtime! compiler/{name}.vim". The plugins are expected to set | |
| 851 options with "CompilerSet" and set the "current_compiler" variable to the | |
| 852 name of the compiler. | |
| 170 | 853 - Delete the "CompilerSet" user command. |
| 7 | 854 - Set "b:current_compiler" to the value of "current_compiler". |
| 855 - Without "!" the old value of "current_compiler" is restored. | |
| 856 | |
| 857 | |
| 858 For writing a compiler plugin, see |write-compiler-plugin|. | |
| 859 | |
| 860 | |
| 1228 | 861 GCC *quickfix-gcc* *compiler-gcc* |
| 862 | |
| 863 There's one variable you can set for the GCC compiler: | |
| 864 | |
| 865 g:compiler_gcc_ignore_unmatched_lines | |
| 866 Ignore lines that don't match any patterns | |
| 867 defined for GCC. Useful if output from | |
| 868 commands run from make are generating false | |
| 869 positives. | |
| 870 | |
| 871 | |
| 7 | 872 MANX AZTEC C *quickfix-manx* *compiler-manx* |
| 873 | |
| 874 To use Vim with Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga you should do the | |
| 875 following: | |
| 876 - Set the CCEDIT environment variable with the command: > | |
| 877 mset "CCEDIT=vim -q" | |
| 878 - Compile with the -qf option. If the compiler finds any errors, Vim is | |
| 879 started and the cursor is positioned on the first error. The error message | |
| 880 will be displayed on the last line. You can go to other errors with the | |
| 881 commands mentioned above. You can fix the errors and write the file(s). | |
| 882 - If you exit Vim normally the compiler will re-compile the same file. If you | |
| 883 exit with the :cq command, the compiler will terminate. Do this if you | |
| 884 cannot fix the error, or if another file needs to be compiled first. | |
| 885 | |
| 886 There are some restrictions to the Quickfix mode on the Amiga. The | |
| 887 compiler only writes the first 25 errors to the errorfile (Manx's | |
| 888 documentation does not say how to get more). If you want to find the others, | |
| 889 you will have to fix a few errors and exit the editor. After recompiling, | |
| 890 up to 25 remaining errors will be found. | |
| 891 | |
| 892 If Vim was started from the compiler, the :sh and some :! commands will not | |
| 893 work, because Vim is then running in the same process as the compiler and | |
| 894 stdin (standard input) will not be interactive. | |
| 895 | |
| 896 | |
| 1624 | 897 PERL *quickfix-perl* *compiler-perl* |
| 898 | |
| 899 The Perl compiler plugin doesn't actually compile, but invokes Perl's internal | |
| 900 syntax checking feature and parses the output for possible errors so you can | |
| 901 correct them in quick-fix mode. | |
| 902 | |
| 903 Warnings are forced regardless of "no warnings" or "$^W = 0" within the file | |
| 904 being checked. To disable this set g:perl_compiler_force_warnings to a zero | |
| 905 value. For example: > | |
| 906 let g:perl_compiler_force_warnings = 0 | |
| 907 | |
| 908 | |
| 7 | 909 PYUNIT COMPILER *compiler-pyunit* |
| 910 | |
| 911 This is not actually a compiler, but a unit testing framework for the | |
| 237 | 912 Python language. It is included into standard Python distribution |
| 913 starting from version 2.0. For older versions, you can get it from | |
| 7 | 914 http://pyunit.sourceforge.net. |
| 915 | |
| 916 When you run your tests with the help of the framework, possible errors | |
| 917 are parsed by Vim and presented for you in quick-fix mode. | |
| 918 | |
| 919 Unfortunately, there is no standard way to run the tests. | |
| 920 The alltests.py script seems to be used quite often, that's all. | |
| 921 Useful values for the 'makeprg' options therefore are: | |
| 922 setlocal makeprg=./alltests.py " Run a testsuite | |
| 5690 | 923 setlocal makeprg=python\ %:S " Run a single testcase |
| 7 | 924 |
| 925 Also see http://vim.sourceforge.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=280. | |
| 926 | |
| 927 | |
| 928 TEX COMPILER *compiler-tex* | |
| 929 | |
| 930 Included in the distribution compiler for TeX ($VIMRUNTIME/compiler/tex.vim) | |
| 237 | 931 uses make command if possible. If the compiler finds a file named "Makefile" |
| 7 | 932 or "makefile" in the current directory, it supposes that you want to process |
| 237 | 933 your *TeX files with make, and the makefile does the right work. In this case |
| 934 compiler sets 'errorformat' for *TeX output and leaves 'makeprg' untouched. If | |
| 7 | 935 neither "Makefile" nor "makefile" is found, the compiler will not use make. |
| 936 You can force the compiler to ignore makefiles by defining | |
| 937 b:tex_ignore_makefile or g:tex_ignore_makefile variable (they are checked for | |
| 938 existence only). | |
| 939 | |
| 940 If the compiler chose not to use make, it need to choose a right program for | |
| 237 | 941 processing your input. If b:tex_flavor or g:tex_flavor (in this precedence) |
| 7 | 942 variable exists, it defines TeX flavor for :make (actually, this is the name |
| 943 of executed command), and if both variables do not exist, it defaults to | |
| 237 | 944 "latex". For example, while editing chapter2.tex \input-ed from mypaper.tex |
| 7 | 945 written in AMS-TeX: > |
| 946 | |
| 947 :let b:tex_flavor = 'amstex' | |
| 948 :compiler tex | |
| 949 < [editing...] > | |
| 950 :make mypaper | |
| 951 | |
| 952 Note that you must specify a name of the file to process as an argument (to | |
| 953 process the right file when editing \input-ed or \include-ed file; portable | |
| 237 | 954 solution for substituting % for no arguments is welcome). This is not in the |
| 7 | 955 semantics of make, where you specify a target, not source, but you may specify |
| 956 filename without extension ".tex" and mean this as "make filename.dvi or | |
| 957 filename.pdf or filename.some_result_extension according to compiler". | |
| 958 | |
| 959 Note: tex command line syntax is set to usable both for MikTeX (suggestion | |
| 237 | 960 by Srinath Avadhanula) and teTeX (checked by Artem Chuprina). Suggestion |
| 7 | 961 from |errorformat-LaTeX| is too complex to keep it working for different |
| 962 shells and OSes and also does not allow to use other available TeX options, | |
| 237 | 963 if any. If your TeX doesn't support "-interaction=nonstopmode", please |
| 7 | 964 report it with different means to express \nonstopmode from the command line. |
| 965 | |
| 966 ============================================================================= | |
| 967 7. The error format *error-file-format* | |
| 968 | |
| 969 *errorformat* *E372* *E373* *E374* | |
| 970 *E375* *E376* *E377* *E378* | |
| 971 The 'errorformat' option specifies a list of formats that are recognized. The | |
| 972 first format that matches with an error message is used. You can add several | |
| 973 formats for different messages your compiler produces, or even entries for | |
| 974 multiple compilers. See |efm-entries|. | |
| 975 | |
| 976 Each entry in 'errorformat' is a scanf-like string that describes the format. | |
| 977 First, you need to know how scanf works. Look in the documentation of your | |
| 978 C compiler. Below you find the % items that Vim understands. Others are | |
| 979 invalid. | |
| 980 | |
| 981 Special characters in 'errorformat' are comma and backslash. See | |
| 982 |efm-entries| for how to deal with them. Note that a literal "%" is matched | |
| 983 by "%%", thus it is not escaped with a backslash. | |
| 5277 | 984 Keep in mind that in the `:make` and `:grep` output all NUL characters are |
| 985 replaced with SOH (0x01). | |
| 7 | 986 |
| 987 Note: By default the difference between upper and lowercase is ignored. If | |
| 988 you want to match case, add "\C" to the pattern |/\C|. | |
| 989 | |
| 990 | |
| 991 Basic items | |
| 992 | |
| 993 %f file name (finds a string) | |
| 994 %l line number (finds a number) | |
| 995 %c column number (finds a number representing character | |
| 996 column of the error, (1 <tab> == 1 character column)) | |
| 997 %v virtual column number (finds a number representing | |
| 998 screen column of the error (1 <tab> == 8 screen | |
| 237 | 999 columns)) |
| 7 | 1000 %t error type (finds a single character) |
| 1001 %n error number (finds a number) | |
| 1002 %m error message (finds a string) | |
| 1003 %r matches the "rest" of a single-line file message %O/P/Q | |
| 3557 | 1004 %p pointer line (finds a sequence of '-', '.', ' ' or |
| 1005 tabs and uses the length for the column number) | |
| 7 | 1006 %*{conv} any scanf non-assignable conversion |
| 1007 %% the single '%' character | |
| 231 | 1008 %s search text (finds a string) |
| 7 | 1009 |
| 502 | 1010 The "%f" conversion may depend on the current 'isfname' setting. "~/" is |
| 279 | 1011 expanded to the home directory and environment variables are expanded. |
| 7 | 1012 |
| 502 | 1013 The "%f" and "%m" conversions have to detect the end of the string. This |
| 534 | 1014 normally happens by matching following characters and items. When nothing is |
| 502 | 1015 following the rest of the line is matched. If "%f" is followed by a '%' or a |
| 1016 backslash, it will look for a sequence of 'isfname' characters. | |
| 7 | 1017 |
| 1018 On MS-DOS, MS-Windows and OS/2 a leading "C:" will be included in "%f", even | |
| 1019 when using "%f:". This means that a file name which is a single alphabetical | |
| 1020 letter will not be detected. | |
| 1021 | |
| 1022 The "%p" conversion is normally followed by a "^". It's used for compilers | |
| 1023 that output a line like: > | |
| 1024 ^ | |
| 1025 or > | |
| 1026 ---------^ | |
| 1027 to indicate the column of the error. This is to be used in a multi-line error | |
| 1028 message. See |errorformat-javac| for a useful example. | |
| 1029 | |
| 231 | 1030 The "%s" conversion specifies the text to search for to locate the error line. |
| 1031 The text is used as a literal string. The anchors "^" and "$" are added to | |
| 1032 the text to locate the error line exactly matching the search text and the | |
| 1033 text is prefixed with the "\V" atom to make it "very nomagic". The "%s" | |
| 1034 conversion can be used to locate lines without a line number in the error | |
| 1035 output. Like the output of the "grep" shell command. | |
| 1036 When the pattern is present the line number will not be used. | |
| 7 | 1037 |
| 1038 Changing directory | |
| 1039 | |
| 1040 The following uppercase conversion characters specify the type of special | |
| 1041 format strings. At most one of them may be given as a prefix at the begin | |
| 1042 of a single comma-separated format pattern. | |
| 1043 Some compilers produce messages that consist of directory names that have to | |
| 237 | 1044 be prepended to each file name read by %f (example: GNU make). The following |
| 7 | 1045 codes can be used to scan these directory names; they will be stored in an |
| 1046 internal directory stack. *E379* | |
| 1047 %D "enter directory" format string; expects a following | |
| 1048 %f that finds the directory name | |
| 1049 %X "leave directory" format string; expects following %f | |
| 1050 | |
| 1051 When defining an "enter directory" or "leave directory" format, the "%D" or | |
| 237 | 1052 "%X" has to be given at the start of that substring. Vim tracks the directory |
| 7 | 1053 changes and prepends the current directory to each erroneous file found with a |
| 1054 relative path. See |quickfix-directory-stack| for details, tips and | |
| 1055 limitations. | |
| 1056 | |
| 1057 | |
| 1058 Multi-line messages *errorformat-multi-line* | |
| 1059 | |
| 1060 It is possible to read the output of programs that produce multi-line | |
| 237 | 1061 messages, i.e. error strings that consume more than one line. Possible |
| 7 | 1062 prefixes are: |
| 1063 %E start of a multi-line error message | |
| 1064 %W start of a multi-line warning message | |
| 1065 %I start of a multi-line informational message | |
| 1066 %A start of a multi-line message (unspecified type) | |
| 791 | 1067 %> for next line start with current pattern again |efm-%>| |
| 7 | 1068 %C continuation of a multi-line message |
| 1069 %Z end of a multi-line message | |
| 1070 These can be used with '+' and '-', see |efm-ignore| below. | |
| 1071 | |
| 787 | 1072 Using "\n" in the pattern won't work to match multi-line messages. |
| 1073 | |
| 7 | 1074 Example: Your compiler happens to write out errors in the following format |
| 1075 (leading line numbers not being part of the actual output): | |
| 1076 | |
| 787 | 1077 1 Error 275 ~ |
| 1078 2 line 42 ~ | |
| 1079 3 column 3 ~ | |
| 1080 4 ' ' expected after '--' ~ | |
| 7 | 1081 |
| 1082 The appropriate error format string has to look like this: > | |
| 1083 :set efm=%EError\ %n,%Cline\ %l,%Ccolumn\ %c,%Z%m | |
| 1084 | |
| 1085 And the |:clist| error message generated for this error is: | |
| 1086 | |
| 1087 1:42 col 3 error 275: ' ' expected after '--' | |
| 1088 | |
| 1089 Another example: Think of a Python interpreter that produces the following | |
| 1090 error message (line numbers are not part of the actual output): | |
| 1091 | |
| 1092 1 ============================================================== | |
| 1093 2 FAIL: testGetTypeIdCachesResult (dbfacadeTest.DjsDBFacadeTest) | |
| 1094 3 -------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 1095 4 Traceback (most recent call last): | |
| 1096 5 File "unittests/dbfacadeTest.py", line 89, in testFoo | |
| 1097 6 self.assertEquals(34, dtid) | |
| 1098 7 File "/usr/lib/python2.2/unittest.py", line 286, in | |
| 1099 8 failUnlessEqual | |
| 1100 9 raise self.failureException, \ | |
| 1101 10 AssertionError: 34 != 33 | |
| 1102 11 | |
| 1103 12 -------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 1104 13 Ran 27 tests in 0.063s | |
| 1105 | |
| 1106 Say you want |:clist| write the relevant information of this message only, | |
| 1107 namely: | |
| 1108 5 unittests/dbfacadeTest.py:89: AssertionError: 34 != 33 | |
| 1109 | |
| 1110 Then the error format string could be defined as follows: > | |
| 1111 :set efm=%C\ %.%#,%A\ \ File\ \"%f\"\\,\ line\ %l%.%#,%Z%[%^\ ]%\\@=%m | |
| 1112 | |
| 1113 Note that the %C string is given before the %A here: since the expression | |
| 1114 ' %.%#' (which stands for the regular expression ' .*') matches every line | |
| 1115 starting with a space, followed by any characters to the end of the line, | |
| 1116 it also hides line 7 which would trigger a separate error message otherwise. | |
| 1117 Error format strings are always parsed pattern by pattern until the first | |
| 1118 match occurs. | |
| 791 | 1119 *efm-%>* |
| 1120 The %> item can be used to avoid trying patterns that appear earlier in | |
| 1121 'errorformat'. This is useful for patterns that match just about anything. | |
| 1122 For example, if the error looks like this: | |
| 1123 | |
| 1124 Error in line 123 of foo.c: ~ | |
| 1125 unknown variable "i" ~ | |
| 1126 | |
| 1127 This can be found with: > | |
| 1128 :set efm=xxx,%E%>Error in line %l of %f:,%Z%m | |
| 1129 Where "xxx" has a pattern that would also match the second line. | |
| 7 | 1130 |
| 787 | 1131 Important: There is no memory of what part of the errorformat matched before; |
| 1132 every line in the error file gets a complete new run through the error format | |
| 1133 lines. For example, if one has: > | |
| 1134 setlocal efm=aa,bb,cc,dd,ee | |
| 1135 Where aa, bb, etc. are error format strings. Each line of the error file will | |
| 1136 be matched to the pattern aa, then bb, then cc, etc. Just because cc matched | |
| 1137 the previous error line does _not_ mean that dd will be tried first on the | |
| 1138 current line, even if cc and dd are multi-line errorformat strings. | |
| 1139 | |
| 1140 | |
| 7 | 1141 |
| 1142 Separate file name *errorformat-separate-filename* | |
| 1143 | |
| 1144 These prefixes are useful if the file name is given once and multiple messages | |
| 1145 follow that refer to this file name. | |
| 1146 %O single-line file message: overread the matched part | |
| 1147 %P single-line file message: push file %f onto the stack | |
| 1148 %Q single-line file message: pop the last file from stack | |
| 1149 | |
| 1150 Example: Given a compiler that produces the following error logfile (without | |
| 1151 leading line numbers): | |
| 1152 | |
| 1153 1 [a1.tt] | |
| 1154 2 (1,17) error: ';' missing | |
| 1155 3 (21,2) warning: variable 'z' not defined | |
| 1156 4 (67,3) error: end of file found before string ended | |
| 1157 5 | |
| 1158 6 [a2.tt] | |
| 1159 7 | |
| 1160 8 [a3.tt] | |
| 1161 9 NEW compiler v1.1 | |
| 1162 10 (2,2) warning: variable 'x' not defined | |
| 1163 11 (67,3) warning: 's' already defined | |
| 1164 | |
| 1165 This logfile lists several messages for each file enclosed in [...] which are | |
| 1166 properly parsed by an error format like this: > | |
| 1167 :set efm=%+P[%f],(%l\\,%c)%*[\ ]%t%*[^:]:\ %m,%-Q | |
| 1168 | |
| 1169 A call of |:clist| writes them accordingly with their correct filenames: | |
| 1170 | |
| 1171 2 a1.tt:1 col 17 error: ';' missing | |
| 1172 3 a1.tt:21 col 2 warning: variable 'z' not defined | |
| 1173 4 a1.tt:67 col 3 error: end of file found before string ended | |
| 1174 8 a3.tt:2 col 2 warning: variable 'x' not defined | |
| 1175 9 a3.tt:67 col 3 warning: 's' already defined | |
| 1176 | |
| 1177 Unlike the other prefixes that all match against whole lines, %P, %Q and %O | |
| 237 | 1178 can be used to match several patterns in the same line. Thus it is possible |
| 7 | 1179 to parse even nested files like in the following line: |
| 1180 {"file1" {"file2" error1} error2 {"file3" error3 {"file4" error4 error5}}} | |
| 1181 The %O then parses over strings that do not contain any push/pop file name | |
| 1182 information. See |errorformat-LaTeX| for an extended example. | |
| 1183 | |
| 1184 | |
| 1185 Ignoring and using whole messages *efm-ignore* | |
| 1186 | |
| 1187 The codes '+' or '-' can be combined with the uppercase codes above; in that | |
| 237 | 1188 case they have to precede the letter, e.g. '%+A' or '%-G': |
| 7 | 1189 %- do not include the matching multi-line in any output |
| 1190 %+ include the whole matching line in the %m error string | |
| 1191 | |
| 237 | 1192 One prefix is only useful in combination with '+' or '-', namely %G. It parses |
| 7 | 1193 over lines containing general information like compiler version strings or |
| 1194 other headers that can be skipped. | |
| 1195 %-G ignore this message | |
| 1196 %+G general message | |
| 1197 | |
| 1198 | |
| 1199 Pattern matching | |
| 1200 | |
| 1201 The scanf()-like "%*[]" notation is supported for backward-compatibility | |
| 1202 with previous versions of Vim. However, it is also possible to specify | |
| 1203 (nearly) any Vim supported regular expression in format strings. | |
| 1204 Since meta characters of the regular expression language can be part of | |
| 1205 ordinary matching strings or file names (and therefore internally have to | |
| 1206 be escaped), meta symbols have to be written with leading '%': | |
| 787 | 1207 %\ The single '\' character. Note that this has to be |
| 7 | 1208 escaped ("%\\") in ":set errorformat=" definitions. |
| 787 | 1209 %. The single '.' character. |
| 1210 %# The single '*'(!) character. | |
| 1211 %^ The single '^' character. Note that this is not | |
| 1212 useful, the pattern already matches start of line. | |
| 1213 %$ The single '$' character. Note that this is not | |
| 1214 useful, the pattern already matches end of line. | |
| 1215 %[ The single '[' character for a [] character range. | |
| 1216 %~ The single '~' character. | |
| 7 | 1217 When using character classes in expressions (see |/\i| for an overview), |
| 1218 terms containing the "\+" quantifier can be written in the scanf() "%*" | |
| 237 | 1219 notation. Example: "%\\d%\\+" ("\d\+", "any number") is equivalent to "%*\\d". |
| 7 | 1220 Important note: The \(...\) grouping of sub-matches can not be used in format |
| 1221 specifications because it is reserved for internal conversions. | |
| 1222 | |
| 1223 | |
| 1224 Multiple entries in 'errorformat' *efm-entries* | |
| 1225 | |
| 1226 To be able to detect output from several compilers, several format patterns | |
| 1227 may be put in 'errorformat', separated by commas (note: blanks after the comma | |
| 1228 are ignored). The first pattern that has a complete match is used. If no | |
| 1229 match is found, matching parts from the last one will be used, although the | |
| 1230 file name is removed and the error message is set to the whole message. If | |
| 1231 there is a pattern that may match output from several compilers (but not in a | |
| 1232 right way), put it after one that is more restrictive. | |
| 1233 | |
| 1234 To include a comma in a pattern precede it with a backslash (you have to type | |
| 1235 two in a ":set" command). To include a backslash itself give two backslashes | |
| 1236 (you have to type four in a ":set" command). You also need to put a backslash | |
| 1237 before a space for ":set". | |
| 1238 | |
| 1239 | |
| 1240 Valid matches *quickfix-valid* | |
| 1241 | |
| 1242 If a line does not completely match one of the entries in 'errorformat', the | |
| 1243 whole line is put in the error message and the entry is marked "not valid" | |
| 1244 These lines are skipped with the ":cn" and ":cp" commands (unless there is | |
| 1245 no valid line at all). You can use ":cl!" to display all the error messages. | |
| 1246 | |
| 1247 If the error format does not contain a file name Vim cannot switch to the | |
| 1248 correct file. You will have to do this by hand. | |
| 1249 | |
| 1250 | |
| 1251 Examples | |
| 1252 | |
| 1253 The format of the file from the Amiga Aztec compiler is: | |
| 1254 | |
| 1255 filename>linenumber:columnnumber:errortype:errornumber:errormessage | |
| 1256 | |
| 1257 filename name of the file in which the error was detected | |
| 1258 linenumber line number where the error was detected | |
| 1259 columnnumber column number where the error was detected | |
| 1260 errortype type of the error, normally a single 'E' or 'W' | |
| 1261 errornumber number of the error (for lookup in the manual) | |
| 1262 errormessage description of the error | |
| 1263 | |
| 1264 This can be matched with this 'errorformat' entry: | |
| 1265 %f>%l:%c:%t:%n:%m | |
| 1266 | |
| 1267 Some examples for C compilers that produce single-line error outputs: | |
| 1268 %f:%l:\ %t%*[^0123456789]%n:\ %m for Manx/Aztec C error messages | |
| 1269 (scanf() doesn't understand [0-9]) | |
| 1270 %f\ %l\ %t%*[^0-9]%n:\ %m for SAS C | |
| 1271 \"%f\"\\,%*[^0-9]%l:\ %m for generic C compilers | |
| 1272 %f:%l:\ %m for GCC | |
| 1273 %f:%l:\ %m,%Dgmake[%*\\d]:\ Entering\ directory\ `%f', | |
| 1274 %Dgmake[%*\\d]:\ Leaving\ directory\ `%f' | |
| 1275 for GCC with gmake (concat the lines!) | |
| 1276 %f(%l)\ :\ %*[^:]:\ %m old SCO C compiler (pre-OS5) | |
| 1277 %f(%l)\ :\ %t%*[^0-9]%n:\ %m idem, with error type and number | |
| 1278 %f:%l:\ %m,In\ file\ included\ from\ %f:%l:,\^I\^Ifrom\ %f:%l%m | |
| 1279 for GCC, with some extras | |
| 1280 | |
| 1281 Extended examples for the handling of multi-line messages are given below, | |
| 1282 see |errorformat-Jikes| and |errorformat-LaTeX|. | |
| 1283 | |
| 1284 Note the backslash in front of a space and double quote. It is required for | |
| 1285 the :set command. There are two backslashes in front of a comma, one for the | |
| 1286 :set command and one to avoid recognizing the comma as a separator of error | |
| 1287 formats. | |
| 1288 | |
| 1289 | |
| 1290 Filtering messages | |
| 1291 | |
| 1292 If you have a compiler that produces error messages that do not fit in the | |
| 1293 format string, you could write a program that translates the error messages | |
| 1294 into this format. You can use this program with the ":make" command by | |
| 1295 changing the 'makeprg' option. For example: > | |
| 1296 :set mp=make\ \\\|&\ error_filter | |
| 1297 The backslashes before the pipe character are required to avoid it to be | |
| 1298 recognized as a command separator. The backslash before each space is | |
| 1299 required for the set command. | |
| 1300 | |
| 1301 ============================================================================= | |
| 1302 8. The directory stack *quickfix-directory-stack* | |
| 1303 | |
| 1304 Quickfix maintains a stack for saving all used directories parsed from the | |
| 237 | 1305 make output. For GNU-make this is rather simple, as it always prints the |
| 1306 absolute path of all directories it enters and leaves. Regardless if this is | |
| 7 | 1307 done via a 'cd' command in the makefile or with the parameter "-C dir" (change |
| 237 | 1308 to directory before reading the makefile). It may be useful to use the switch |
| 7 | 1309 "-w" to force GNU-make to print out the working directory before and after |
| 1310 processing. | |
| 1311 | |
| 1312 Maintaining the correct directory is more complicated if you don't use | |
| 237 | 1313 GNU-make. AIX-make for example doesn't print any information about its |
| 1314 working directory. Then you need to enhance the makefile. In the makefile of | |
| 1315 LessTif there is a command which echoes "Making {target} in {dir}". The | |
| 2072 | 1316 special problem here is that it doesn't print information on leaving the |
| 237 | 1317 directory and that it doesn't print the absolute path. |
| 7 | 1318 |
| 1319 To solve the problem with relative paths and missing "leave directory" | |
| 1320 messages Vim uses following algorithm: | |
| 1321 | |
| 1322 1) Check if the given directory is a subdirectory of the current directory. | |
| 1323 If this is true, store it as the current directory. | |
| 1324 2) If it is not a subdir of the current directory, try if this is a | |
| 1325 subdirectory of one of the upper directories. | |
| 1326 3) If the directory still isn't found, it is assumed to be a subdirectory | |
| 1327 of Vim's current directory. | |
| 1328 | |
| 1329 Additionally it is checked for every file, if it really exists in the | |
| 1330 identified directory. If not, it is searched in all other directories of the | |
| 237 | 1331 directory stack (NOT the directory subtree!). If it is still not found, it is |
| 7 | 1332 assumed that it is in Vim's current directory. |
| 1333 | |

1334 There are limitations in this algorithm. These examples assume that make just |
| 7 | 1335 prints information about entering a directory in the form "Making all in dir". |
| 1336 | |
| 1337 1) Assume you have following directories and files: | |
| 1338 ./dir1 | |
| 1339 ./dir1/file1.c | |
| 1340 ./file1.c | |
| 1341 | |
| 1342 If make processes the directory "./dir1" before the current directory and | |
| 1343 there is an error in the file "./file1.c", you will end up with the file | |
| 1344 "./dir1/file.c" loaded by Vim. | |
| 1345 | |
| 1346 This can only be solved with a "leave directory" message. | |
| 1347 | |
| 1348 2) Assume you have following directories and files: | |
| 1349 ./dir1 | |
| 1350 ./dir1/dir2 | |
| 1351 ./dir2 | |
| 1352 | |
| 1353 You get the following: | |
| 1354 | |
| 1355 Make output Directory interpreted by Vim | |
| 1356 ------------------------ ---------------------------- | |

| 1358 Making all in dir2 ./dir1/dir2 | |
| 1359 Making all in dir2 ./dir1/dir2 | |
| 1360 | |
| 1361 This can be solved by printing absolute directories in the "enter directory" | |
| 1362 message or by printing "leave directory" messages.. | |

1364 To avoid this problem, ensure to print absolute directory names and "leave |
| 7 | 1365 directory" messages. |
| 1366 | |
| 1367 Examples for Makefiles: | |
| 1368 | |
| 1369 Unix: | |
| 1370 libs: | |
| 1371 for dn in $(LIBDIRS); do \ | |
| 1372 (cd $$dn; echo "Entering dir '$$(pwd)'"; make); \ | |
| 1373 echo "Leaving dir"; \ | |
| 1374 done | |
| 1375 | |
| 1376 Add | |
| 1377 %DEntering\ dir\ '%f',%XLeaving\ dir | |
| 1378 to your 'errorformat' to handle the above output. | |
| 1379 | |
| 1380 Note that Vim doesn't check if the directory name in a "leave directory" | |
| 237 | 1381 messages is the current directory. This is why you could just use the message |
| 7 | 1382 "Leaving dir". |
| 1383 | |
| 1384 ============================================================================= | |
| 1385 9. Specific error file formats *errorformats* | |
| 1386 | |
| 1387 *errorformat-Jikes* | |
| 1388 Jikes(TM), a source-to-bytecode Java compiler published by IBM Research, | |
| 1389 produces simple multi-line error messages. | |
| 1390 | |
| 1391 An 'errorformat' string matching the produced messages is shown below. | |
| 1392 The following lines can be placed in the user's |vimrc| to overwrite Vim's | |
| 1393 recognized default formats, or see |:set+=| how to install this format | |
| 1394 additionally to the default. > | |
| 1395 | |
| 1396 :set efm=%A%f:%l:%c:%*\\d:%*\\d:, | |
| 1397 \%C%*\\s%trror:%m, | |
| 1398 \%+C%*[^:]%trror:%m, | |
| 1399 \%C%*\\s%tarning:%m, | |
| 1400 \%C%m | |
| 1401 < | |
| 1402 Jikes(TM) produces a single-line error message when invoked with the option | |
| 1403 "+E", and can be matched with the following: > | |
| 1404 | |
| 1167 | 1405 :setl efm=%f:%l:%v:%*\\d:%*\\d:%*\\s%m |
| 7 | 1406 < |
| 1407 *errorformat-javac* | |
| 1408 This 'errorformat' has been reported to work well for javac, which outputs a | |
| 1409 line with "^" to indicate the column of the error: > | |
| 1167 | 1410 :setl efm=%A%f:%l:\ %m,%-Z%p^,%-C%.%# |
| 7 | 1411 or: > |
| 1167 | 1412 :setl efm=%A%f:%l:\ %m,%+Z%p^,%+C%.%#,%-G%.%# |
| 7 | 1413 < |
| 1167 | 1414 Here is an alternative from Michael F. Lamb for Unix that filters the errors |
| 1415 first: > | |
| 1416 :setl errorformat=%Z%f:%l:\ %m,%A%p^,%-G%*[^sl]%.%# | |
| 5690 | 1417 :setl makeprg=javac\ %:S\ 2>&1\ \\\|\ vim-javac-filter |
| 1167 | 1418 |
| 1419 You need to put the following in "vim-javac-filter" somewhere in your path | |
| 1420 (e.g., in ~/bin) and make it executable: > | |
| 1421 #!/bin/sed -f | |
| 1422 /\^$/s/\t/\ /g;/:[0-9]\+:/{h;d};/^[ \t]*\^/G; | |
| 1423 | |
| 1424 In English, that sed script: | |
| 1425 - Changes single tabs to single spaces and | |
| 1426 - Moves the line with the filename, line number, error message to just after | |
| 1427 the pointer line. That way, the unused error text between doesn't break | |
| 1428 vim's notion of a "multi-line message" and also doesn't force us to include | |
| 1429 it as a "continuation of a multi-line message." | |
| 1430 | |
| 7 | 1431 *errorformat-ant* |
| 1432 For ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/) the above errorformat has to be modified | |
| 1433 to honour the leading [javac] in front of each javac output line: > | |
| 1434 :set efm=%A\ %#[javac]\ %f:%l:\ %m,%-Z\ %#[javac]\ %p^,%-C%.%# | |
| 1435 | |
| 1436 The 'errorformat' can also be configured to handle ant together with either | |
| 1437 javac or jikes. If you're using jikes, you should tell ant to use jikes' +E | |
| 1438 command line switch which forces jikes to generate one-line error messages. | |
| 1439 This is what the second line (of a build.xml file) below does: > | |
| 1440 <property name = "build.compiler" value = "jikes"/> | |
| 1441 <property name = "build.compiler.emacs" value = "true"/> | |
| 1442 | |
| 1443 The 'errorformat' which handles ant with both javac and jikes is: > | |
| 1444 :set efm=\ %#[javac]\ %#%f:%l:%c:%*\\d:%*\\d:\ %t%[%^:]%#:%m, | |
| 1445 \%A\ %#[javac]\ %f:%l:\ %m,%-Z\ %#[javac]\ %p^,%-C%.%# | |
| 1446 < | |
| 1447 *errorformat-jade* | |
| 1448 parsing jade (see http://www.jclark.com/) errors is simple: > | |
| 1449 :set efm=jade:%f:%l:%c:%t:%m | |
| 1450 < | |
| 1451 *errorformat-LaTeX* | |
| 1452 The following is an example how an 'errorformat' string can be specified | |
| 1453 for the (La)TeX typesetting system which displays error messages over | |
| 1454 multiple lines. The output of ":clist" and ":cc" etc. commands displays | |
| 1455 multi-lines in a single line, leading white space is removed. | |
| 1456 It should be easy to adopt the above LaTeX errorformat to any compiler output | |
| 1457 consisting of multi-line errors. | |
| 1458 | |
| 1459 The commands can be placed in a |vimrc| file or some other Vim script file, | |
| 237 | 1460 e.g. a script containing LaTeX related stuff which is loaded only when editing |
| 7 | 1461 LaTeX sources. |
| 1462 Make sure to copy all lines of the example (in the given order), afterwards | |
| 1463 remove the comment lines. For the '\' notation at the start of some lines see | |
| 1464 |line-continuation|. | |
| 1465 | |
| 1466 First prepare 'makeprg' such that LaTeX will report multiple | |
| 1467 errors; do not stop when the first error has occurred: > | |
| 1468 :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$*} | |
| 1469 < | |
| 1470 Start of multi-line error messages: > | |
| 1471 :set efm=%E!\ LaTeX\ %trror:\ %m, | |
| 1472 \%E!\ %m, | |
| 1473 < Start of multi-line warning messages; the first two also | |
| 237 | 1474 include the line number. Meaning of some regular expressions: |
| 7 | 1475 - "%.%#" (".*") matches a (possibly empty) string |
| 1476 - "%*\\d" ("\d\+") matches a number > | |
| 1477 \%+WLaTeX\ %.%#Warning:\ %.%#line\ %l%.%#, | |
| 1478 \%+W%.%#\ at\ lines\ %l--%*\\d, | |
| 1479 \%WLaTeX\ %.%#Warning:\ %m, | |
| 1480 < Possible continuations of error/warning messages; the first | |
| 1481 one also includes the line number: > | |
| 1482 \%Cl.%l\ %m, | |
| 1483 \%+C\ \ %m., | |
| 1484 \%+C%.%#-%.%#, | |
| 1485 \%+C%.%#[]%.%#, | |
| 1486 \%+C[]%.%#, | |
| 1487 \%+C%.%#%[{}\\]%.%#, | |
| 1488 \%+C<%.%#>%.%#, | |
| 1489 \%C\ \ %m, | |
| 1490 < Lines that match the following patterns do not contain any | |
| 1491 important information; do not include them in messages: > | |
| 1492 \%-GSee\ the\ LaTeX%m, | |
| 1493 \%-GType\ \ H\ <return>%m, | |
| 1494 \%-G\ ...%.%#, | |
| 1495 \%-G%.%#\ (C)\ %.%#, | |
| 1496 \%-G(see\ the\ transcript%.%#), | |
| 1497 < Generally exclude any empty or whitespace-only line from | |
| 1498 being displayed: > | |
| 1499 \%-G\\s%#, | |
| 1500 < The LaTeX output log does not specify the names of erroneous | |
| 1501 source files per line; rather they are given globally, | |
| 1502 enclosed in parentheses. | |
| 1503 The following patterns try to match these names and store | |
| 1504 them in an internal stack. The patterns possibly scan over | |
| 1505 the same input line (one after another), the trailing "%r" | |
| 1506 conversion indicates the "rest" of the line that will be | |
| 1507 parsed in the next go until the end of line is reached. | |
| 1508 | |
| 1509 Overread a file name enclosed in '('...')'; do not push it | |
| 1510 on a stack since the file apparently does not contain any | |
| 1511 error: > | |
| 1512 \%+O(%f)%r, | |
| 237 | 1513 < Push a file name onto the stack. The name is given after '(': > |
| 7 | 1514 \%+P(%f%r, |
| 1515 \%+P\ %\\=(%f%r, | |
| 1516 \%+P%*[^()](%f%r, | |
| 1517 \%+P[%\\d%[^()]%#(%f%r, | |
| 1518 < Pop the last stored file name when a ')' is scanned: > | |
| 1519 \%+Q)%r, | |
| 1520 \%+Q%*[^()])%r, | |
| 1521 \%+Q[%\\d%*[^()])%r | |
| 1522 | |
| 1523 Note that in some cases file names in the LaTeX output log cannot be parsed | |
| 1524 properly. The parser might have been messed up by unbalanced parentheses | |
| 1525 then. The above example tries to catch the most relevant cases only. | |
| 1526 You can customize the given setting to suit your own purposes, for example, | |
| 1527 all the annoying "Overfull ..." warnings could be excluded from being | |
| 1528 recognized as an error. | |
| 1529 Alternatively to filtering the LaTeX compiler output, it is also possible | |
| 1530 to directly read the *.log file that is produced by the [La]TeX compiler. | |
| 1531 This contains even more useful information about possible error causes. | |
| 1532 However, to properly parse such a complex file, an external filter should | |
| 1533 be used. See the description further above how to make such a filter known | |
| 1534 by Vim. | |
| 1535 | |
| 1536 *errorformat-Perl* | |
| 1537 In $VIMRUNTIME/tools you can find the efm_perl.pl script, which filters Perl | |
| 1538 error messages into a format that quickfix mode will understand. See the | |
| 1624 | 1539 start of the file about how to use it. (This script is deprecated, see |
| 1540 |compiler-perl|.) | |
