| 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! |

44 The 'errorformat' option should be set to match the error messages from your |
| 7 | 45 compiler (see |errorformat| below). |
| 46 | |
| 644 | 47 *location-list* *E776* |
| 648 | 48 A location list is similar to a quickfix list and contains a list of positions |
| 49 in files. A location list is associated with a window and each window can | |
| 50 have a separate location list. A location list can be associated with only | |
| 51 one window. The location list is independent of the quickfix list. | |
| 644 | 52 |
| 648 | 53 When a window with a location list is split, the new window gets a copy of the |

55 the location list is destroyed. |
| 648 | 56 |
| 57 The following quickfix commands can be used. The location list commands are | |
| 58 similar to the quickfix commands, replacing the 'c' prefix in the quickfix | |

| 161 :cf[ile][!] [errorfile] Read the error file and jump to the first error. | |
| 162 This is done automatically when Vim is started with | |
| 163 the -q option. You can use this command when you | |
| 164 keep Vim running while compiling. If you give the | |
| 165 name of the errorfile, the 'errorfile' option will | |
| 166 be set to [errorfile]. See |:cc| for [!]. | |

| 185 :caddf[ile] [errorfile] Read the error file and add the errors from the | |
| 446 | 186 errorfile to the current quickfix list. If a quickfix |
| 187 list is not present, then a new list is created. | |
| 188 | |

| 41 | 195 When [bufnr] is given it must be the number of a |
| 196 loaded buffer. That buffer will then be used instead | |
| 197 of the current buffer. | |
| 198 A range can be specified for the lines to be used. | |
| 199 Otherwise all lines in the buffer are used. | |
| 1084 | 200 See |:cc| for [!]. |

| 205 | |
| 798 | 206 *:cgetb* *:cgetbuffer* |
| 207 :cgetb[uffer] [bufnr] Read the error list from the current buffer. Just | |
| 208 like ":cbuffer" but don't jump to the first error. | |
| 209 | |
| 210 *:lgetb* *:lgetbuffer* | |
| 211 :lgetb[uffer] [bufnr] Same as ":cgetbuffer", except the location list for | |
| 212 the current window is used instead of the quickfix | |
| 213 list. | |
| 214 | |
| 5734 | 215 *:cad* *:caddbuffer* |
| 5763 | 216 :cad[dbuffer] [bufnr] Read the error list from the current buffer and add |
| 658 | 217 the errors to the current quickfix list. If a |
| 218 quickfix list is not present, then a new list is | |
| 219 created. Otherwise, same as ":cbuffer". | |
| 220 | |
| 221 *:laddb* *:laddbuffer* | |
| 222 :laddb[uffer] [bufnr] Same as ":caddbuffer", except the location list for | |

| 2833 | 233 If {expr} is a List, then each String item in the list |
| 234 is processed and added to the quickfix list. Non | |

| 644 | 243 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. |
| 244 | |
| 800 | 245 *:cgete* *:cgetexpr* |
| 1624 | 246 :cgete[xpr] {expr} Create a quickfix list using the result of {expr}. |
| 2833 | 247 Just like |:cexpr|, but don't jump to the first error. |
| 800 | 248 |
| 249 *:lgete* *:lgetexpr* | |
| 2833 | 250 :lgete[xpr] {expr} Same as |:cgetexpr|, except the location list for the |
| 800 | 251 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. |
| 252 | |
| 5734 | 253 *:cadde* *:caddexpr* |
| 5763 | 254 :cadde[xpr] {expr} Evaluate {expr} and add the resulting lines to the |
| 625 | 255 current quickfix list. If a quickfix list is not |
| 256 present, then a new list is created. The current | |
| 257 cursor position will not be changed. See |:cexpr| for | |
| 258 more information. | |
| 259 Example: > | |
| 260 :g/mypattern/caddexpr expand("%") . ":" . line(".") . ":" . getline(".") | |
| 261 < | |
| 644 | 262 *:lad* *:laddexpr* |

| 644 | 264 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. |
| 265 | |
| 7 | 266 *:cl* *:clist* |
| 267 :cl[ist] [from] [, [to]] | |
| 268 List all errors that are valid |quickfix-valid|. | |
| 269 If numbers [from] and/or [to] are given, the respective | |
| 237 | 270 range of errors is listed. A negative number counts |
| 7 | 271 from the last error backwards, -1 being the last error. |
| 272 The 'switchbuf' settings are respected when jumping | |
| 273 to a buffer. | |

| 301 found because hidden marks are used. Sometimes, when the mark has been | |
| 302 deleted for some reason, the message "line changed" is shown to warn you that | |
| 303 the error location may not be correct. If you quit Vim and start again the | |
| 304 marks are lost and the error locations may not be correct anymore. | |
| 305 | |
| 163 | 306 If vim is built with |+autocmd| support, two autocommands are available for |
| 307 running commands before and after a quickfix command (':make', ':grep' and so | |
| 308 on) is executed. See |QuickFixCmdPre| and |QuickFixCmdPost| for details. | |
| 309 | |
| 1624 | 310 *QuickFixCmdPost-example* |
| 311 When 'encoding' differs from the locale, the error messages may have a | |
| 312 different encoding from what Vim is using. To convert the messages you can | |
| 313 use this code: > | |
| 314 function QfMakeConv() | |
| 315 let qflist = getqflist() | |
| 316 for i in qflist | |
| 317 let i.text = iconv(i.text, "cp936", "utf-8") | |
| 318 endfor | |
| 319 call setqflist(qflist) | |
| 320 endfunction | |
| 321 | |
| 322 au QuickfixCmdPost make call QfMakeConv() | |

| 5763 | 411 The window will have the w:quickfix_title variable set |
| 412 which will indicate the command that produced the | |

| 7 | 451 Normally the quickfix window is at the bottom of the screen. If there are |
| 452 vertical splits, it's at the bottom of the rightmost column of windows. To | |
| 453 make it always occupy the full width: > | |
| 454 :botright cwindow | |
| 455 You can move the window around with |window-moving| commands. | |
| 456 For example, to move it to the top: CTRL-W K | |
| 457 The 'winfixheight' option will be set, which means that the window will mostly | |
| 458 keep its height, ignoring 'winheight' and 'equalalways'. You can change the | |
| 459 height manually (e.g., by dragging the status line above it with the mouse). | |
| 460 | |
| 461 In the quickfix window, each line is one error. The line number is equal to | |
| 462 the error number. You can use ":.cc" to jump to the error under the cursor. | |
| 170 | 463 Hitting the <Enter> key or double-clicking the mouse on a line has the same |
| 7 | 464 effect. The file containing the error is opened in the window above the |
| 465 quickfix window. If there already is a window for that file, it is used | |
| 466 instead. If the buffer in the used window has changed, and the error is in | |
| 467 another file, jumping to the error will fail. You will first have to make | |
| 468 sure the window contains a buffer which can be abandoned. | |
| 170 | 469 *CTRL-W_<Enter>* *CTRL-W_<CR>* |
| 470 You can use CTRL-W <Enter> to open a new window and jump to the error there. | |
| 7 | 471 |
| 472 When the quickfix window has been filled, two autocommand events are | |
| 473 triggered. First the 'filetype' option is set to "qf", which triggers the | |
| 651 | 474 FileType event. Then the BufReadPost event is triggered, using "quickfix" for |
| 475 the buffer name. This can be used to perform some action on the listed | |
| 476 errors. Example: > | |
| 648 | 477 au BufReadPost quickfix setlocal modifiable |
| 478 \ | silent exe 'g/^/s//\=line(".")." "/' | |
| 479 \ | setlocal nomodifiable | |
| 7 | 480 This prepends the line number to each line. Note the use of "\=" in the |
| 481 substitute string of the ":s" command, which is used to evaluate an | |
| 482 expression. | |
| 651 | 483 The BufWinEnter event is also triggered, again using "quickfix" for the buffer |
| 484 name. | |
| 7 | 485 |

| 7 | 489 Note: Making changes in the quickfix window has no effect on the list of |
| 490 errors. 'modifiable' is off to avoid making changes. If you delete or insert | |
| 491 lines anyway, the relation between the text and the error number is messed up. | |
| 492 If you really want to do this, you could write the contents of the quickfix | |
| 493 window to a file and use ":cfile" to have it parsed and used as the new error | |
| 494 list. | |
| 495 | |
| 644 | 496 *location-list-window* |
| 648 | 497 The location list window displays the entries in a location list. When you |
| 498 open a location list window, it is created below the current window and | |
| 499 displays the location list for the current window. The location list window | |
| 500 is similar to the quickfix window, except that you can have more than one | |
| 651 | 501 location list window open at a time. When you use a location list command in |
| 502 this window, the displayed location list is used. | |
| 648 | 503 |
| 504 When you select a file from the location list window, the following steps are | |
| 505 used to find a window to edit the file: | |
| 644 | 506 |
| 648 | 507 1. If a window with the location list displayed in the location list window is |
| 508 present, then the file is opened in that window. | |
| 509 2. If the above step fails and if the file is already opened in another | |
| 510 window, then that window is used. | |
| 511 3. If the above step fails then an existing window showing a buffer with | |
| 512 'buftype' not set is used. | |
| 513 4. If the above step fails, then the file is edited in a new window. | |
| 514 | |
| 515 In all of the above cases, if the location list for the selected window is not | |
| 516 yet set, then it is set to the location list displayed in the location list | |
| 517 window. | |
| 644 | 518 |
| 7 | 519 ============================================================================= |
| 520 3. Using more than one list of errors *quickfix-error-lists* | |
| 521 | |
| 522 So far has been assumed that there is only one list of errors. Actually the | |
| 523 ten last used lists are remembered. When starting a new list, the previous | |
| 524 ones are automatically kept. Two commands can be used to access older error | |
| 525 lists. They set one of the existing error lists as the current one. | |
| 526 | |
| 527 *:colder* *:col* *E380* | |
| 528 :col[der] [count] Go to older error list. When [count] is given, do | |
| 529 this [count] times. When already at the oldest error | |
| 530 list, an error message is given. | |

| 7 | 556 When adding a new error list, it becomes the current list. |
| 557 | |
| 558 When ":colder" has been used and ":make" or ":grep" is used to add a new error | |
| 559 list, one newer list is overwritten. This is especially useful if you are | |
| 560 browsing with ":grep" |grep|. If you want to keep the more recent error | |
| 561 lists, use ":cnewer 99" first. | |
| 562 | |
| 563 ============================================================================= | |
| 564 4. Using :make *:make_makeprg* | |
| 565 | |
| 566 *:mak* *:make* | |
| 163 | 567 :mak[e][!] [arguments] 1. If vim was built with |+autocmd|, all relevant |
| 568 |QuickFixCmdPre| autocommands are executed. | |
| 569 2. If the 'autowrite' option is on, write any changed | |
| 7 | 570 buffers |
| 163 | 571 3. An errorfile name is made from 'makeef'. If |
| 7 | 572 'makeef' doesn't contain "##", and a file with this |
| 573 name already exists, it is deleted. | |
| 163 | 574 4. The program given with the 'makeprg' option is |
| 7 | 575 started (default "make") with the optional |
| 576 [arguments] and the output is saved in the | |
| 577 errorfile (for Unix it is also echoed on the | |
| 578 screen). | |
| 163 | 579 5. The errorfile is read using 'errorformat'. |
| 1167 | 580 6. If vim was built with |+autocmd|, all relevant |
| 163 | 581 |QuickFixCmdPost| autocommands are executed. |
| 1624 | 582 See example below. |
| 1167 | 583 7. If [!] is not given the first error is jumped to. |
| 584 8. The errorfile is deleted. | |
| 163 | 585 9. You can now move through the errors with commands |
| 7 | 586 like |:cnext| and |:cprevious|, see above. |
| 587 This command does not accept a comment, any " | |
| 588 characters are considered part of the arguments. | |
| 589 | |
| 658 | 590 *:lmak* *:lmake* |
| 591 :lmak[e][!] [arguments] | |
| 592 Same as ":make", except the location list for the | |
| 593 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 594 | |
| 7 | 595 The ":make" command executes the command given with the 'makeprg' option. |
| 596 This is done by passing the command to the shell given with the 'shell' | |
| 597 option. This works almost like typing | |
| 598 | |
| 599 ":!{makeprg} [arguments] {shellpipe} {errorfile}". | |
| 600 | |
| 601 {makeprg} is the string given with the 'makeprg' option. Any command can be | |
| 602 used, not just "make". Characters '%' and '#' are expanded as usual on a | |
| 603 command-line. You can use "%<" to insert the current file name without | |
| 604 extension, or "#<" to insert the alternate file name without extension, for | |
| 605 example: > | |
| 606 :set makeprg=make\ #<.o | |
| 607 | |
| 608 [arguments] is anything that is typed after ":make". | |
| 609 {shellpipe} is the 'shellpipe' option. | |
| 610 {errorfile} is the 'makeef' option, with ## replaced to make it unique. | |
| 611 | |
| 2072 | 612 The placeholder "$*" can be used for the argument list in {makeprg} if the |
| 7 | 613 command needs some additional characters after its arguments. The $* is |
| 614 replaced then by all arguments. Example: > | |
| 615 :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$*} | |
| 616 or simpler > | |
| 617 :let &mp = 'latex \\nonstopmode \\input\{$*}' | |
| 618 "$*" can be given multiple times, for example: > | |
| 619 :set makeprg=gcc\ -o\ $*\ $* | |
| 620 | |
| 621 The 'shellpipe' option defaults to ">" for the Amiga, MS-DOS and Win32. This | |
| 622 means that the output of the compiler is saved in a file and not shown on the | |
| 623 screen directly. For Unix "| tee" is used. The compiler output is shown on | |
| 624 the screen and saved in a file the same time. Depending on the shell used | |
| 625 "|& tee" or "2>&1| tee" is the default, so stderr output will be included. | |
| 626 | |
| 627 If 'shellpipe' is empty, the {errorfile} part will be omitted. This is useful | |
| 628 for compilers that write to an errorfile themselves (e.g., Manx's Amiga C). | |
| 629 | |
| 1624 | 630 |
| 631 Using QuickFixCmdPost to fix the encoding ~ | |
| 632 | |
| 633 It may be that 'encoding' is set to an encoding that differs from the messages | |
| 634 your build program produces. This example shows how to fix this after Vim has | |
| 635 read the error messages: > | |
| 636 | |
| 637 function QfMakeConv() | |
| 638 let qflist = getqflist() | |
| 639 for i in qflist | |
| 640 let i.text = iconv(i.text, "cp936", "utf-8") | |
| 641 endfor | |
| 642 call setqflist(qflist) | |
| 643 endfunction | |
| 644 | |
| 645 au QuickfixCmdPost make call QfMakeConv() | |
| 646 | |
| 647 (Example by Faque Cheng) | |
| 648 | |
| 7 | 649 ============================================================================== |
| 41 | 650 5. Using :vimgrep and :grep *grep* *lid* |
| 651 | |
| 652 Vim has two ways to find matches for a pattern: Internal and external. The | |
| 653 advantage of the internal grep is that it works on all systems and uses the | |
| 654 powerful Vim search patterns. An external grep program can be used when the | |
| 655 Vim grep does not do what you want. | |
| 656 | |
| 43 | 657 The internal method will be slower, because files are read into memory. The |
| 658 advantages are: | |
| 659 - Line separators and encoding are automatically recognized, as if a file is | |
| 660 being edited. | |
| 661 - Uses Vim search patterns. Multi-line patterns can be used. | |
| 662 - When plugins are enabled: compressed and remote files can be searched. | |
| 663 |gzip| |netrw| | |
| 717 | 664 |
| 665 To be able to do this Vim loads each file as if it is being edited. When | |
| 720 | 666 there is no match in the file the associated buffer is wiped out again. The |
| 717 | 667 'hidden' option is ignored here to avoid running out of memory or file |
| 668 descriptors when searching many files. However, when the |:hide| command | |
| 669 modifier is used the buffers are kept loaded. This makes following searches | |
| 670 in the same files a lot faster. | |

| 681 5.1 using Vim's internal grep | |
| 682 | |
| 86 | 683 *:vim* *:vimgrep* *E682* *E683* |
| 170 | 684 :vim[grep][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... |
| 41 | 685 Search for {pattern} in the files {file} ... and set |
| 3682 | 686 the error list to the matches. Files matching |
| 687 'wildignore' are ignored; files in 'suffixes' are | |
| 688 searched last. | |
| 170 | 689 Without the 'g' flag each line is added only once. |
| 690 With 'g' every match is added. | |
| 691 | |
| 692 {pattern} is a Vim search pattern. Instead of | |
| 693 enclosing it in / any non-ID character (see | |
| 694 |'isident'|) can be used, so long as it does not | |
| 695 appear in {pattern}. | |
| 696 'ignorecase' applies. To overrule it put |/\c| in the | |
| 697 pattern to ignore case or |/\C| to match case. | |
| 698 'smartcase' is not used. | |
| 4197 | 699 If {pattern} is empty (e.g. // is specified), the last |
| 700 used search pattern is used. |last-pattern| | |
| 170 | 701 |
| 716 | 702 When a number is put before the command this is used |
| 703 as the maximum number of matches to find. Use | |
| 704 ":1vimgrep pattern file" to find only the first. | |
| 705 Useful if you only want to check if there is a match | |
| 706 and quit quickly when it's found. | |
| 707 | |
| 170 | 708 Without the 'j' flag Vim jumps to the first match. |
| 709 With 'j' only the quickfix list is updated. | |
| 710 With the [!] any changes in the current buffer are | |
| 711 abandoned. | |
| 712 | |
| 123 | 713 Every second or so the searched file name is displayed |
| 714 to give you an idea of the progress made. | |
| 43 | 715 Examples: > |
| 716 :vimgrep /an error/ *.c | |
| 717 :vimgrep /\<FileName\>/ *.h include/* | |
| 445 | 718 :vimgrep /myfunc/ **/*.c |
| 719 < For the use of "**" see |starstar-wildcard|. | |
| 41 | 720 |
| 43 | 721 :vim[grep][!] {pattern} {file} ... |
| 722 Like above, but instead of enclosing the pattern in a | |
| 723 non-ID character use a white-separated pattern. The | |
| 724 pattern must start with an ID character. | |
| 725 Example: > | |
| 726 :vimgrep Error *.c | |
| 727 < | |
| 658 | 728 *:lv* *:lvimgrep* |
| 729 :lv[imgrep][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... | |
| 730 :lv[imgrep][!] {pattern} {file} ... | |
| 731 Same as ":vimgrep", except the location list for the | |
| 732 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 733 | |
| 41 | 734 *:vimgrepa* *:vimgrepadd* |
| 170 | 735 :vimgrepa[dd][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... |
| 736 :vimgrepa[dd][!] {pattern} {file} ... | |
| 41 | 737 Just like ":vimgrep", but instead of making a new list |
| 738 of errors the matches are appended to the current | |
| 739 list. | |
| 740 | |
| 658 | 741 *:lvimgrepa* *:lvimgrepadd* |
| 742 :lvimgrepa[dd][!] /{pattern}/[g][j] {file} ... | |
| 743 :lvimgrepa[dd][!] {pattern} {file} ... | |
| 744 Same as ":vimgrepadd", except the location list for | |
| 745 the current window is used instead of the quickfix | |
| 746 list. | |
| 41 | 747 |
| 748 5.2 External grep | |
| 7 | 749 |
| 750 Vim can interface with "grep" and grep-like programs (such as the GNU | |
| 751 id-utils) in a similar way to its compiler integration (see |:make| above). | |
| 752 | |
| 753 [Unix trivia: The name for the Unix "grep" command comes from ":g/re/p", where | |
| 754 "re" stands for Regular Expression.] | |
| 755 | |
| 756 *:gr* *:grep* | |
| 757 :gr[ep][!] [arguments] Just like ":make", but use 'grepprg' instead of | |
| 758 'makeprg' and 'grepformat' instead of 'errorformat'. | |
| 41 | 759 When 'grepprg' is "internal" this works like |
| 760 |:vimgrep|. Note that the pattern needs to be | |
| 761 enclosed in separator characters then. | |
| 658 | 762 |
| 763 *:lgr* *:lgrep* | |
| 764 :lgr[ep][!] [arguments] Same as ":grep", except the location list for the | |
| 765 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 766 | |
| 7 | 767 *:grepa* *:grepadd* |
| 768 :grepa[dd][!] [arguments] | |
| 769 Just like ":grep", but instead of making a new list of | |
| 770 errors the matches are appended to the current list. | |

| 658 | 786 *:lgrepa* *:lgrepadd* |
| 787 :lgrepa[dd][!] [arguments] | |
| 788 Same as ":grepadd", except the location list for the | |
| 789 current window is used instead of the quickfix list. | |
| 790 | |
| 41 | 791 5.3 Setting up external grep |
| 7 | 792 |
| 793 If you have a standard "grep" program installed, the :grep command may work | |
| 237 | 794 well with the defaults. The syntax is very similar to the standard command: > |
| 7 | 795 |
| 796 :grep foo *.c | |
| 797 | |
| 237 | 798 Will search all files with the .c extension for the substring "foo". The |
| 7 | 799 arguments to :grep are passed straight to the "grep" program, so you can use |
| 800 whatever options your "grep" supports. | |
| 801 | |
| 802 By default, :grep invokes grep with the -n option (show file and line | |
| 237 | 803 numbers). You can change this with the 'grepprg' option. You will need to set |
| 7 | 804 'grepprg' if: |
| 805 | |
| 806 a) You are using a program that isn't called "grep" | |
| 807 b) You have to call grep with a full path | |
| 808 c) You want to pass other options automatically (e.g. case insensitive | |
| 809 search.) | |
| 810 | |
| 811 Once "grep" has executed, Vim parses the results using the 'grepformat' | |
| 812 option. This option works in the same way as the 'errorformat' option - see | |
| 813 that for details. You may need to change 'grepformat' from the default if | |
| 814 your grep outputs in a non-standard format, or you are using some other | |
| 815 program with a special format. | |
| 816 | |
| 817 Once the results are parsed, Vim loads the first file containing a match and | |
| 818 jumps to the appropriate line, in the same way that it jumps to a compiler | |
| 819 error in |quickfix| mode. You can then use the |:cnext|, |:clist|, etc. | |
| 820 commands to see the other matches. | |
| 821 | |
| 822 | |
| 41 | 823 5.4 Using :grep with id-utils |
| 7 | 824 |
| 825 You can set up :grep to work with the GNU id-utils like this: > | |
| 826 | |
| 827 :set grepprg=lid\ -Rgrep\ -s | |
| 828 :set grepformat=%f:%l:%m | |
| 829 | |
| 830 then > | |
| 831 :grep (regexp) | |
| 832 | |
| 833 works just as you'd expect. | |
| 834 (provided you remembered to mkid first :) | |
| 835 | |
| 836 | |
| 41 | 837 5.5 Browsing source code with :vimgrep or :grep |
| 7 | 838 |
| 839 Using the stack of error lists that Vim keeps, you can browse your files to | |
| 840 look for functions and the functions they call. For example, suppose that you | |
| 841 have to add an argument to the read_file() function. You enter this command: > | |
| 842 | |
| 41 | 843 :vimgrep /\<read_file\>/ *.c |
| 7 | 844 |
| 845 You use ":cn" to go along the list of matches and add the argument. At one | |
| 846 place you have to get the new argument from a higher level function msg(), and | |
| 847 need to change that one too. Thus you use: > | |
| 848 | |
| 41 | 849 :vimgrep /\<msg\>/ *.c |
| 7 | 850 |
| 851 While changing the msg() functions, you find another function that needs to | |
| 41 | 852 get the argument from a higher level. You can again use ":vimgrep" to find |
| 853 these functions. Once you are finished with one function, you can use > | |
| 7 | 854 |
| 855 :colder | |
| 856 | |
| 857 to go back to the previous one. | |
| 858 | |
| 41 | 859 This works like browsing a tree: ":vimgrep" goes one level deeper, creating a |
| 7 | 860 list of branches. ":colder" goes back to the previous level. You can mix |
| 41 | 861 this use of ":vimgrep" and "colder" to browse all the locations in a tree-like |
| 7 | 862 way. If you do this consistently, you will find all locations without the |
| 863 need to write down a "todo" list. | |
| 864 | |
| 865 ============================================================================= | |
| 866 6. Selecting a compiler *compiler-select* | |
| 867 | |
| 868 *:comp* *:compiler* *E666* | |
| 869 :comp[iler][!] {name} Set options to work with compiler {name}. | |
| 870 Without the "!" options are set for the | |
| 871 current buffer. With "!" global options are | |
| 872 set. | |
| 873 If you use ":compiler foo" in "file.foo" and | |
| 874 then ":compiler! bar" in another buffer, Vim | |
| 875 will keep on using "foo" in "file.foo". | |
| 876 {not available when compiled without the | |
| 877 |+eval| feature} | |
| 878 | |
| 879 | |
| 880 The Vim plugins in the "compiler" directory will set options to use the | |
| 881 selected compiler. For ":compiler" local options are set, for ":compiler!" | |
| 882 global options. | |
| 883 *current_compiler* | |
| 884 To support older Vim versions, the plugins always use "current_compiler" and | |
| 885 not "b:current_compiler". What the command actually does is the following: | |
| 886 | |
| 887 - Delete the "current_compiler" and "b:current_compiler" variables. | |
| 888 - Define the "CompilerSet" user command. With "!" it does ":set", without "!" | |
| 889 it does ":setlocal". | |
| 890 - Execute ":runtime! compiler/{name}.vim". The plugins are expected to set | |
| 891 options with "CompilerSet" and set the "current_compiler" variable to the | |
| 892 name of the compiler. | |
| 170 | 893 - Delete the "CompilerSet" user command. |
| 7 | 894 - Set "b:current_compiler" to the value of "current_compiler". |
| 895 - Without "!" the old value of "current_compiler" is restored. | |
| 896 | |
| 897 | |
| 898 For writing a compiler plugin, see |write-compiler-plugin|. | |
| 899 | |
| 900 | |
| 1228 | 901 GCC *quickfix-gcc* *compiler-gcc* |
| 902 | |
| 903 There's one variable you can set for the GCC compiler: | |
| 904 | |
| 905 g:compiler_gcc_ignore_unmatched_lines | |
| 906 Ignore lines that don't match any patterns | |
| 907 defined for GCC. Useful if output from | |
| 908 commands run from make are generating false | |
| 909 positives. | |
| 910 | |
| 911 | |
| 7 | 912 MANX AZTEC C *quickfix-manx* *compiler-manx* |
| 913 | |
| 914 To use Vim with Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga you should do the | |
| 915 following: | |
| 916 - Set the CCEDIT environment variable with the command: > | |
| 917 mset "CCEDIT=vim -q" | |
| 918 - Compile with the -qf option. If the compiler finds any errors, Vim is | |
| 919 started and the cursor is positioned on the first error. The error message | |
| 920 will be displayed on the last line. You can go to other errors with the | |
| 921 commands mentioned above. You can fix the errors and write the file(s). | |
| 922 - If you exit Vim normally the compiler will re-compile the same file. If you | |
| 923 exit with the :cq command, the compiler will terminate. Do this if you | |
| 924 cannot fix the error, or if another file needs to be compiled first. | |
| 925 | |
| 926 There are some restrictions to the Quickfix mode on the Amiga. The | |
| 927 compiler only writes the first 25 errors to the errorfile (Manx's | |
| 928 documentation does not say how to get more). If you want to find the others, | |
| 929 you will have to fix a few errors and exit the editor. After recompiling, | |
| 930 up to 25 remaining errors will be found. | |
| 931 | |
| 932 If Vim was started from the compiler, the :sh and some :! commands will not | |
| 933 work, because Vim is then running in the same process as the compiler and | |
| 934 stdin (standard input) will not be interactive. | |
| 935 | |
| 936 | |
| 1624 | 937 PERL *quickfix-perl* *compiler-perl* |
| 938 | |
| 939 The Perl compiler plugin doesn't actually compile, but invokes Perl's internal | |
| 940 syntax checking feature and parses the output for possible errors so you can | |
| 941 correct them in quick-fix mode. | |
| 942 | |
| 943 Warnings are forced regardless of "no warnings" or "$^W = 0" within the file | |
| 944 being checked. To disable this set g:perl_compiler_force_warnings to a zero | |
| 945 value. For example: > | |
| 946 let g:perl_compiler_force_warnings = 0 | |
| 947 | |
| 948 | |
| 7 | 949 PYUNIT COMPILER *compiler-pyunit* |
| 950 | |
| 951 This is not actually a compiler, but a unit testing framework for the | |
| 237 | 952 Python language. It is included into standard Python distribution |
| 953 starting from version 2.0. For older versions, you can get it from | |
| 7 | 954 http://pyunit.sourceforge.net. |
| 955 | |
| 956 When you run your tests with the help of the framework, possible errors | |
| 957 are parsed by Vim and presented for you in quick-fix mode. | |
| 958 | |
| 959 Unfortunately, there is no standard way to run the tests. | |
| 960 The alltests.py script seems to be used quite often, that's all. | |
| 961 Useful values for the 'makeprg' options therefore are: | |
| 962 setlocal makeprg=./alltests.py " Run a testsuite | |
| 5690 | 963 setlocal makeprg=python\ %:S " Run a single testcase |
| 7 | 964 |
| 965 Also see http://vim.sourceforge.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=280. | |
| 966 | |
| 967 | |
| 968 TEX COMPILER *compiler-tex* | |
| 969 | |
| 970 Included in the distribution compiler for TeX ($VIMRUNTIME/compiler/tex.vim) | |
| 237 | 971 uses make command if possible. If the compiler finds a file named "Makefile" |
| 7 | 972 or "makefile" in the current directory, it supposes that you want to process |
| 237 | 973 your *TeX files with make, and the makefile does the right work. In this case |
| 974 compiler sets 'errorformat' for *TeX output and leaves 'makeprg' untouched. If | |
| 7 | 975 neither "Makefile" nor "makefile" is found, the compiler will not use make. |
| 976 You can force the compiler to ignore makefiles by defining | |
| 977 b:tex_ignore_makefile or g:tex_ignore_makefile variable (they are checked for | |
| 978 existence only). | |
| 979 | |
| 980 If the compiler chose not to use make, it need to choose a right program for | |
| 237 | 981 processing your input. If b:tex_flavor or g:tex_flavor (in this precedence) |
| 7 | 982 variable exists, it defines TeX flavor for :make (actually, this is the name |
| 983 of executed command), and if both variables do not exist, it defaults to | |
| 237 | 984 "latex". For example, while editing chapter2.tex \input-ed from mypaper.tex |
| 7 | 985 written in AMS-TeX: > |
| 986 | |
| 987 :let b:tex_flavor = 'amstex' | |
| 988 :compiler tex | |
| 989 < [editing...] > | |
| 990 :make mypaper | |
| 991 | |
| 992 Note that you must specify a name of the file to process as an argument (to | |
| 993 process the right file when editing \input-ed or \include-ed file; portable | |
| 237 | 994 solution for substituting % for no arguments is welcome). This is not in the |
| 7 | 995 semantics of make, where you specify a target, not source, but you may specify |
| 996 filename without extension ".tex" and mean this as "make filename.dvi or | |
| 997 filename.pdf or filename.some_result_extension according to compiler". | |
| 998 | |
| 999 Note: tex command line syntax is set to usable both for MikTeX (suggestion | |
| 237 | 1000 by Srinath Avadhanula) and teTeX (checked by Artem Chuprina). Suggestion |
| 7 | 1001 from |errorformat-LaTeX| is too complex to keep it working for different |
| 1002 shells and OSes and also does not allow to use other available TeX options, | |
| 237 | 1003 if any. If your TeX doesn't support "-interaction=nonstopmode", please |
| 7 | 1004 report it with different means to express \nonstopmode from the command line. |
| 1005 | |
| 1006 ============================================================================= | |
| 1007 7. The error format *error-file-format* | |
| 1008 | |
| 1009 *errorformat* *E372* *E373* *E374* | |
| 1010 *E375* *E376* *E377* *E378* | |
| 1011 The 'errorformat' option specifies a list of formats that are recognized. The | |
| 1012 first format that matches with an error message is used. You can add several | |
| 1013 formats for different messages your compiler produces, or even entries for | |
| 1014 multiple compilers. See |efm-entries|. | |
| 1015 | |
| 1016 Each entry in 'errorformat' is a scanf-like string that describes the format. | |
| 1017 First, you need to know how scanf works. Look in the documentation of your | |
| 1018 C compiler. Below you find the % items that Vim understands. Others are | |
| 1019 invalid. | |
| 1020 | |
| 1021 Special characters in 'errorformat' are comma and backslash. See | |
| 1022 |efm-entries| for how to deal with them. Note that a literal "%" is matched | |
| 1023 by "%%", thus it is not escaped with a backslash. | |
| 5277 | 1024 Keep in mind that in the `:make` and `:grep` output all NUL characters are |
| 1025 replaced with SOH (0x01). | |
| 7 | 1026 |
| 1027 Note: By default the difference between upper and lowercase is ignored. If | |
| 1028 you want to match case, add "\C" to the pattern |/\C|. | |
| 1029 | |
| 1030 | |
| 1031 Basic items | |
| 1032 | |
| 1033 %f file name (finds a string) | |
| 1034 %l line number (finds a number) | |
| 1035 %c column number (finds a number representing character | |
| 1036 column of the error, (1 <tab> == 1 character column)) | |
| 1037 %v virtual column number (finds a number representing | |
| 1038 screen column of the error (1 <tab> == 8 screen | |
| 237 | 1039 columns)) |
| 7 | 1040 %t error type (finds a single character) |
| 1041 %n error number (finds a number) | |
| 1042 %m error message (finds a string) | |
| 1043 %r matches the "rest" of a single-line file message %O/P/Q | |
| 3557 | 1044 %p pointer line (finds a sequence of '-', '.', ' ' or |
| 1045 tabs and uses the length for the column number) | |
| 7 | 1046 %*{conv} any scanf non-assignable conversion |
| 1047 %% the single '%' character | |
| 231 | 1048 %s search text (finds a string) |
| 7 | 1049 |
| 502 | 1050 The "%f" conversion may depend on the current 'isfname' setting. "~/" is |
| 279 | 1051 expanded to the home directory and environment variables are expanded. |
| 7 | 1052 |
| 502 | 1053 The "%f" and "%m" conversions have to detect the end of the string. This |
| 534 | 1054 normally happens by matching following characters and items. When nothing is |
| 502 | 1055 following the rest of the line is matched. If "%f" is followed by a '%' or a |
| 1056 backslash, it will look for a sequence of 'isfname' characters. | |
| 7 | 1057 |
| 1058 On MS-DOS, MS-Windows and OS/2 a leading "C:" will be included in "%f", even | |
| 1059 when using "%f:". This means that a file name which is a single alphabetical | |
| 1060 letter will not be detected. | |
| 1061 | |
| 1062 The "%p" conversion is normally followed by a "^". It's used for compilers | |
| 1063 that output a line like: > | |
| 1064 ^ | |
| 1065 or > | |
| 1066 ---------^ | |
| 1067 to indicate the column of the error. This is to be used in a multi-line error | |
| 1068 message. See |errorformat-javac| for a useful example. | |
| 1069 | |
| 231 | 1070 The "%s" conversion specifies the text to search for to locate the error line. |
| 1071 The text is used as a literal string. The anchors "^" and "$" are added to | |
| 1072 the text to locate the error line exactly matching the search text and the | |
| 1073 text is prefixed with the "\V" atom to make it "very nomagic". The "%s" | |
| 1074 conversion can be used to locate lines without a line number in the error | |
| 1075 output. Like the output of the "grep" shell command. | |
| 1076 When the pattern is present the line number will not be used. | |
| 7 | 1077 |
| 1078 Changing directory | |
| 1079 | |
| 1080 The following uppercase conversion characters specify the type of special | |
| 1081 format strings. At most one of them may be given as a prefix at the begin | |
| 1082 of a single comma-separated format pattern. | |
| 1083 Some compilers produce messages that consist of directory names that have to | |
| 237 | 1084 be prepended to each file name read by %f (example: GNU make). The following |
| 7 | 1085 codes can be used to scan these directory names; they will be stored in an |
| 1086 internal directory stack. *E379* | |
| 1087 %D "enter directory" format string; expects a following | |
| 1088 %f that finds the directory name | |
| 1089 %X "leave directory" format string; expects following %f | |
| 1090 | |
| 1091 When defining an "enter directory" or "leave directory" format, the "%D" or | |
| 237 | 1092 "%X" has to be given at the start of that substring. Vim tracks the directory |
| 7 | 1093 changes and prepends the current directory to each erroneous file found with a |
| 1094 relative path. See |quickfix-directory-stack| for details, tips and | |
| 1095 limitations. | |
| 1096 | |
| 1097 | |
| 1098 Multi-line messages *errorformat-multi-line* | |
| 1099 | |
| 1100 It is possible to read the output of programs that produce multi-line | |
| 237 | 1101 messages, i.e. error strings that consume more than one line. Possible |
| 7 | 1102 prefixes are: |
| 1103 %E start of a multi-line error message | |
| 1104 %W start of a multi-line warning message | |
| 1105 %I start of a multi-line informational message | |
| 1106 %A start of a multi-line message (unspecified type) | |
| 791 | 1107 %> for next line start with current pattern again |efm-%>| |
| 7 | 1108 %C continuation of a multi-line message |
| 1109 %Z end of a multi-line message | |
| 1110 These can be used with '+' and '-', see |efm-ignore| below. | |
| 1111 | |
| 787 | 1112 Using "\n" in the pattern won't work to match multi-line messages. |
| 1113 | |
| 7 | 1114 Example: Your compiler happens to write out errors in the following format |
| 1115 (leading line numbers not being part of the actual output): | |
| 1116 | |
| 787 | 1117 1 Error 275 ~ |
| 1118 2 line 42 ~ | |
| 1119 3 column 3 ~ | |
| 1120 4 ' ' expected after '--' ~ | |
| 7 | 1121 |
| 1122 The appropriate error format string has to look like this: > | |
| 1123 :set efm=%EError\ %n,%Cline\ %l,%Ccolumn\ %c,%Z%m | |
| 1124 | |
| 1125 And the |:clist| error message generated for this error is: | |
| 1126 | |
| 1127 1:42 col 3 error 275: ' ' expected after '--' | |
| 1128 | |
| 1129 Another example: Think of a Python interpreter that produces the following | |
| 1130 error message (line numbers are not part of the actual output): | |
| 1131 | |
| 1132 1 ============================================================== | |
| 1133 2 FAIL: testGetTypeIdCachesResult (dbfacadeTest.DjsDBFacadeTest) | |
| 1134 3 -------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 1135 4 Traceback (most recent call last): | |
| 1136 5 File "unittests/dbfacadeTest.py", line 89, in testFoo | |
| 1137 6 self.assertEquals(34, dtid) | |
| 1138 7 File "/usr/lib/python2.2/unittest.py", line 286, in | |
| 1139 8 failUnlessEqual | |
| 1140 9 raise self.failureException, \ | |
| 1141 10 AssertionError: 34 != 33 | |
| 1142 11 | |
| 1143 12 -------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 1144 13 Ran 27 tests in 0.063s | |
| 1145 | |
| 1146 Say you want |:clist| write the relevant information of this message only, | |
| 1147 namely: | |
| 1148 5 unittests/dbfacadeTest.py:89: AssertionError: 34 != 33 | |
| 1149 | |
| 1150 Then the error format string could be defined as follows: > | |
| 1151 :set efm=%C\ %.%#,%A\ \ File\ \"%f\"\\,\ line\ %l%.%#,%Z%[%^\ ]%\\@=%m | |
| 1152 | |
| 1153 Note that the %C string is given before the %A here: since the expression | |
| 1154 ' %.%#' (which stands for the regular expression ' .*') matches every line | |
| 1155 starting with a space, followed by any characters to the end of the line, | |
| 1156 it also hides line 7 which would trigger a separate error message otherwise. | |
| 1157 Error format strings are always parsed pattern by pattern until the first | |
| 1158 match occurs. | |
| 791 | 1159 *efm-%>* |
| 1160 The %> item can be used to avoid trying patterns that appear earlier in | |
| 1161 'errorformat'. This is useful for patterns that match just about anything. | |
| 1162 For example, if the error looks like this: | |
| 1163 | |
| 1164 Error in line 123 of foo.c: ~ | |
| 1165 unknown variable "i" ~ | |
| 1166 | |
| 1167 This can be found with: > | |
| 1168 :set efm=xxx,%E%>Error in line %l of %f:,%Z%m | |
| 1169 Where "xxx" has a pattern that would also match the second line. | |
| 7 | 1170 |
| 787 | 1171 Important: There is no memory of what part of the errorformat matched before; |
| 1172 every line in the error file gets a complete new run through the error format | |
| 1173 lines. For example, if one has: > | |
| 1174 setlocal efm=aa,bb,cc,dd,ee | |
| 1175 Where aa, bb, etc. are error format strings. Each line of the error file will | |
| 1176 be matched to the pattern aa, then bb, then cc, etc. Just because cc matched | |
| 1177 the previous error line does _not_ mean that dd will be tried first on the | |
| 1178 current line, even if cc and dd are multi-line errorformat strings. | |
| 1179 | |
| 1180 | |
| 7 | 1181 |
| 1182 Separate file name *errorformat-separate-filename* | |
| 1183 | |
| 1184 These prefixes are useful if the file name is given once and multiple messages | |
| 1185 follow that refer to this file name. | |
| 1186 %O single-line file message: overread the matched part | |
| 1187 %P single-line file message: push file %f onto the stack | |
| 1188 %Q single-line file message: pop the last file from stack | |
| 1189 | |
| 1190 Example: Given a compiler that produces the following error logfile (without | |
| 1191 leading line numbers): | |
| 1192 | |
| 1193 1 [a1.tt] | |
| 1194 2 (1,17) error: ';' missing | |
| 1195 3 (21,2) warning: variable 'z' not defined | |
| 1196 4 (67,3) error: end of file found before string ended | |
| 1197 5 | |
| 1198 6 [a2.tt] | |
| 1199 7 | |
| 1200 8 [a3.tt] | |
| 1201 9 NEW compiler v1.1 | |
| 1202 10 (2,2) warning: variable 'x' not defined | |
| 1203 11 (67,3) warning: 's' already defined | |
| 1204 | |
| 1205 This logfile lists several messages for each file enclosed in [...] which are | |
| 1206 properly parsed by an error format like this: > | |
| 1207 :set efm=%+P[%f],(%l\\,%c)%*[\ ]%t%*[^:]:\ %m,%-Q | |
| 1208 | |
| 1209 A call of |:clist| writes them accordingly with their correct filenames: | |
| 1210 | |
| 1211 2 a1.tt:1 col 17 error: ';' missing | |
| 1212 3 a1.tt:21 col 2 warning: variable 'z' not defined | |
| 1213 4 a1.tt:67 col 3 error: end of file found before string ended | |
| 1214 8 a3.tt:2 col 2 warning: variable 'x' not defined | |
| 1215 9 a3.tt:67 col 3 warning: 's' already defined | |
| 1216 | |
| 1217 Unlike the other prefixes that all match against whole lines, %P, %Q and %O | |
| 237 | 1218 can be used to match several patterns in the same line. Thus it is possible |
| 7 | 1219 to parse even nested files like in the following line: |
| 1220 {"file1" {"file2" error1} error2 {"file3" error3 {"file4" error4 error5}}} | |
| 1221 The %O then parses over strings that do not contain any push/pop file name | |
| 1222 information. See |errorformat-LaTeX| for an extended example. | |
| 1223 | |
| 1224 | |
| 1225 Ignoring and using whole messages *efm-ignore* | |
| 1226 | |
| 1227 The codes '+' or '-' can be combined with the uppercase codes above; in that | |
| 237 | 1228 case they have to precede the letter, e.g. '%+A' or '%-G': |
| 7 | 1229 %- do not include the matching multi-line in any output |
| 1230 %+ include the whole matching line in the %m error string | |
| 1231 | |
| 237 | 1232 One prefix is only useful in combination with '+' or '-', namely %G. It parses |
| 7 | 1233 over lines containing general information like compiler version strings or |
| 1234 other headers that can be skipped. | |
| 1235 %-G ignore this message | |
| 1236 %+G general message | |
| 1237 | |
| 1238 | |
| 1239 Pattern matching | |
| 1240 | |
| 1241 The scanf()-like "%*[]" notation is supported for backward-compatibility | |
| 1242 with previous versions of Vim. However, it is also possible to specify | |
| 1243 (nearly) any Vim supported regular expression in format strings. | |
| 1244 Since meta characters of the regular expression language can be part of | |
| 1245 ordinary matching strings or file names (and therefore internally have to | |
| 1246 be escaped), meta symbols have to be written with leading '%': | |
| 787 | 1247 %\ The single '\' character. Note that this has to be |
| 7 | 1248 escaped ("%\\") in ":set errorformat=" definitions. |
| 787 | 1249 %. The single '.' character. |
| 1250 %# The single '*'(!) character. | |
| 1251 %^ The single '^' character. Note that this is not | |
| 1252 useful, the pattern already matches start of line. | |
| 1253 %$ The single '$' character. Note that this is not | |
| 1254 useful, the pattern already matches end of line. | |
| 1255 %[ The single '[' character for a [] character range. | |
| 1256 %~ The single '~' character. | |
| 7 | 1257 When using character classes in expressions (see |/\i| for an overview), |
| 1258 terms containing the "\+" quantifier can be written in the scanf() "%*" | |
| 237 | 1259 notation. Example: "%\\d%\\+" ("\d\+", "any number") is equivalent to "%*\\d". |
| 7 | 1260 Important note: The \(...\) grouping of sub-matches can not be used in format |
| 1261 specifications because it is reserved for internal conversions. | |
| 1262 | |
| 1263 | |
| 1264 Multiple entries in 'errorformat' *efm-entries* | |
| 1265 | |
| 1266 To be able to detect output from several compilers, several format patterns | |
| 1267 may be put in 'errorformat', separated by commas (note: blanks after the comma | |
| 1268 are ignored). The first pattern that has a complete match is used. If no | |
| 1269 match is found, matching parts from the last one will be used, although the | |
| 1270 file name is removed and the error message is set to the whole message. If | |
| 1271 there is a pattern that may match output from several compilers (but not in a | |
| 1272 right way), put it after one that is more restrictive. | |
| 1273 | |
| 1274 To include a comma in a pattern precede it with a backslash (you have to type | |
| 1275 two in a ":set" command). To include a backslash itself give two backslashes | |
| 1276 (you have to type four in a ":set" command). You also need to put a backslash | |
| 1277 before a space for ":set". | |
| 1278 | |
| 1279 | |
| 1280 Valid matches *quickfix-valid* | |
| 1281 | |
| 1282 If a line does not completely match one of the entries in 'errorformat', the | |
| 1283 whole line is put in the error message and the entry is marked "not valid" | |
| 1284 These lines are skipped with the ":cn" and ":cp" commands (unless there is | |
| 1285 no valid line at all). You can use ":cl!" to display all the error messages. | |
| 1286 | |
| 1287 If the error format does not contain a file name Vim cannot switch to the | |
| 1288 correct file. You will have to do this by hand. | |
| 1289 | |
| 1290 | |
| 1291 Examples | |
| 1292 | |
| 1293 The format of the file from the Amiga Aztec compiler is: | |
| 1294 | |
| 1295 filename>linenumber:columnnumber:errortype:errornumber:errormessage | |
| 1296 | |
| 1297 filename name of the file in which the error was detected | |
| 1298 linenumber line number where the error was detected | |
| 1299 columnnumber column number where the error was detected | |
| 1300 errortype type of the error, normally a single 'E' or 'W' | |
| 1301 errornumber number of the error (for lookup in the manual) | |
| 1302 errormessage description of the error | |
| 1303 | |
| 1304 This can be matched with this 'errorformat' entry: | |
| 1305 %f>%l:%c:%t:%n:%m | |
| 1306 | |
| 1307 Some examples for C compilers that produce single-line error outputs: | |
| 1308 %f:%l:\ %t%*[^0123456789]%n:\ %m for Manx/Aztec C error messages | |
| 1309 (scanf() doesn't understand [0-9]) | |
| 1310 %f\ %l\ %t%*[^0-9]%n:\ %m for SAS C | |
| 1311 \"%f\"\\,%*[^0-9]%l:\ %m for generic C compilers | |
| 1312 %f:%l:\ %m for GCC | |
| 1313 %f:%l:\ %m,%Dgmake[%*\\d]:\ Entering\ directory\ `%f', | |
| 1314 %Dgmake[%*\\d]:\ Leaving\ directory\ `%f' | |

| 1319 for GCC, with some extras | |
| 1320 | |
| 1321 Extended examples for the handling of multi-line messages are given below, | |
| 1322 see |errorformat-Jikes| and |errorformat-LaTeX|. | |
| 1323 | |
| 1324 Note the backslash in front of a space and double quote. It is required for | |
| 1325 the :set command. There are two backslashes in front of a comma, one for the | |
| 1326 :set command and one to avoid recognizing the comma as a separator of error | |
| 1327 formats. | |
| 1328 | |
| 1329 | |
| 1330 Filtering messages | |
| 1331 | |
| 1332 If you have a compiler that produces error messages that do not fit in the | |
| 1333 format string, you could write a program that translates the error messages | |
| 1334 into this format. You can use this program with the ":make" command by | |
| 1335 changing the 'makeprg' option. For example: > | |
| 1336 :set mp=make\ \\\|&\ error_filter | |
| 1337 The backslashes before the pipe character are required to avoid it to be | |
| 1338 recognized as a command separator. The backslash before each space is | |
| 1339 required for the set command. | |
| 1340 | |

| 1342 8. The directory stack *quickfix-directory-stack* | |
| 1343 | |
| 1344 Quickfix maintains a stack for saving all used directories parsed from the | |
| 237 | 1345 make output. For GNU-make this is rather simple, as it always prints the |
| 1346 absolute path of all directories it enters and leaves. Regardless if this is | |
| 7 | 1347 done via a 'cd' command in the makefile or with the parameter "-C dir" (change |
| 237 | 1348 to directory before reading the makefile). It may be useful to use the switch |
| 7 | 1349 "-w" to force GNU-make to print out the working directory before and after |
| 1350 processing. | |
| 1351 | |
| 1352 Maintaining the correct directory is more complicated if you don't use | |
| 237 | 1353 GNU-make. AIX-make for example doesn't print any information about its |
| 1354 working directory. Then you need to enhance the makefile. In the makefile of | |
| 1355 LessTif there is a command which echoes "Making {target} in {dir}". The | |
| 2072 | 1356 special problem here is that it doesn't print information on leaving the |
| 237 | 1357 directory and that it doesn't print the absolute path. |
| 7 | 1358 |
| 1359 To solve the problem with relative paths and missing "leave directory" | |
| 1360 messages Vim uses following algorithm: | |
| 1361 | |
| 1362 1) Check if the given directory is a subdirectory of the current directory. | |
| 1363 If this is true, store it as the current directory. | |
| 1364 2) If it is not a subdir of the current directory, try if this is a | |
| 1365 subdirectory of one of the upper directories. | |
| 1366 3) If the directory still isn't found, it is assumed to be a subdirectory | |
| 1367 of Vim's current directory. | |
| 1368 | |
| 1369 Additionally it is checked for every file, if it really exists in the | |
| 1370 identified directory. If not, it is searched in all other directories of the | |
| 237 | 1371 directory stack (NOT the directory subtree!). If it is still not found, it is |
| 7 | 1372 assumed that it is in Vim's current directory. |
| 1373 | |

1374 There are limitations in this algorithm. These examples assume that make just |
| 7 | 1375 prints information about entering a directory in the form "Making all in dir". |
| 1376 | |
| 1377 1) Assume you have following directories and files: | |
| 1378 ./dir1 | |
| 1379 ./dir1/file1.c | |
| 1380 ./file1.c | |
| 1381 | |
| 1382 If make processes the directory "./dir1" before the current directory and | |
| 1383 there is an error in the file "./file1.c", you will end up with the file | |
| 1384 "./dir1/file.c" loaded by Vim. | |
| 1385 | |
| 1386 This can only be solved with a "leave directory" message. | |
| 1387 | |
| 1388 2) Assume you have following directories and files: | |
| 1389 ./dir1 | |
| 1390 ./dir1/dir2 | |
| 1391 ./dir2 | |
| 1392 | |
| 1393 You get the following: | |
| 1394 | |
| 1395 Make output Directory interpreted by Vim | |
| 1396 ------------------------ ---------------------------- | |

| 1398 Making all in dir2 ./dir1/dir2 | |
| 1399 Making all in dir2 ./dir1/dir2 | |
| 1400 | |
| 1401 This can be solved by printing absolute directories in the "enter directory" | |
| 1402 message or by printing "leave directory" messages.. | |

1404 To avoid this problem, ensure to print absolute directory names and "leave |
| 7 | 1405 directory" messages. |
| 1406 | |
| 1407 Examples for Makefiles: | |
| 1408 | |
| 1409 Unix: | |
| 1410 libs: | |
| 1411 for dn in $(LIBDIRS); do \ | |
| 1412 (cd $$dn; echo "Entering dir '$$(pwd)'"; make); \ | |
| 1413 echo "Leaving dir"; \ | |
| 1414 done | |
| 1415 | |
| 1416 Add | |
| 1417 %DEntering\ dir\ '%f',%XLeaving\ dir | |
| 1418 to your 'errorformat' to handle the above output. | |
| 1419 | |
| 1420 Note that Vim doesn't check if the directory name in a "leave directory" | |
| 237 | 1421 messages is the current directory. This is why you could just use the message |
| 7 | 1422 "Leaving dir". |
| 1423 | |

| 1425 9. Specific error file formats *errorformats* | |
| 1426 | |
| 1427 *errorformat-Jikes* | |
| 1428 Jikes(TM), a source-to-bytecode Java compiler published by IBM Research, | |
| 1429 produces simple multi-line error messages. | |
| 1430 | |
| 1431 An 'errorformat' string matching the produced messages is shown below. | |
| 1432 The following lines can be placed in the user's |vimrc| to overwrite Vim's | |
| 1433 recognized default formats, or see |:set+=| how to install this format | |
| 1434 additionally to the default. > | |
| 1435 | |
| 1436 :set efm=%A%f:%l:%c:%*\\d:%*\\d:, | |
| 1437 \%C%*\\s%trror:%m, | |
| 1438 \%+C%*[^:]%trror:%m, | |
| 1439 \%C%*\\s%tarning:%m, | |
| 1440 \%C%m | |
| 1441 < | |
| 1442 Jikes(TM) produces a single-line error message when invoked with the option | |
| 1443 "+E", and can be matched with the following: > | |
| 1444 | |
| 1167 | 1445 :setl efm=%f:%l:%v:%*\\d:%*\\d:%*\\s%m |
| 7 | 1446 < |
| 1447 *errorformat-javac* | |
| 1448 This 'errorformat' has been reported to work well for javac, which outputs a | |
| 1449 line with "^" to indicate the column of the error: > | |
| 1167 | 1450 :setl efm=%A%f:%l:\ %m,%-Z%p^,%-C%.%# |
| 7 | 1451 or: > |
| 1167 | 1452 :setl efm=%A%f:%l:\ %m,%+Z%p^,%+C%.%#,%-G%.%# |
| 7 | 1453 < |
| 1167 | 1454 Here is an alternative from Michael F. Lamb for Unix that filters the errors |
| 1455 first: > | |
| 1456 :setl errorformat=%Z%f:%l:\ %m,%A%p^,%-G%*[^sl]%.%# | |
| 5690 | 1457 :setl makeprg=javac\ %:S\ 2>&1\ \\\|\ vim-javac-filter |
| 1167 | 1458 |
| 1459 You need to put the following in "vim-javac-filter" somewhere in your path | |
| 1460 (e.g., in ~/bin) and make it executable: > | |
| 1461 #!/bin/sed -f | |
| 1462 /\^$/s/\t/\ /g;/:[0-9]\+:/{h;d};/^[ \t]*\^/G; | |
| 1463 | |
| 1464 In English, that sed script: | |
| 1465 - Changes single tabs to single spaces and | |
| 1466 - Moves the line with the filename, line number, error message to just after | |
| 1467 the pointer line. That way, the unused error text between doesn't break | |
| 1468 vim's notion of a "multi-line message" and also doesn't force us to include | |
| 1469 it as a "continuation of a multi-line message." | |
| 1470 | |
| 7 | 1471 *errorformat-ant* |
| 1472 For ant (http://jakarta.apache.org/) the above errorformat has to be modified | |
| 1473 to honour the leading [javac] in front of each javac output line: > | |
| 1474 :set efm=%A\ %#[javac]\ %f:%l:\ %m,%-Z\ %#[javac]\ %p^,%-C%.%# | |
| 1475 | |
| 1476 The 'errorformat' can also be configured to handle ant together with either | |
| 1477 javac or jikes. If you're using jikes, you should tell ant to use jikes' +E | |
| 1478 command line switch which forces jikes to generate one-line error messages. | |
| 1479 This is what the second line (of a build.xml file) below does: > | |
| 1480 <property name = "build.compiler" value = "jikes"/> | |
| 1481 <property name = "build.compiler.emacs" value = "true"/> | |
| 1482 | |
| 1483 The 'errorformat' which handles ant with both javac and jikes is: > | |
| 1484 :set efm=\ %#[javac]\ %#%f:%l:%c:%*\\d:%*\\d:\ %t%[%^:]%#:%m, | |
| 1485 \%A\ %#[javac]\ %f:%l:\ %m,%-Z\ %#[javac]\ %p^,%-C%.%# | |
| 1486 < | |
| 1487 *errorformat-jade* | |
| 1488 parsing jade (see http://www.jclark.com/) errors is simple: > | |
| 1489 :set efm=jade:%f:%l:%c:%t:%m | |
| 1490 < | |
| 1491 *errorformat-LaTeX* | |
| 1492 The following is an example how an 'errorformat' string can be specified | |
| 1493 for the (La)TeX typesetting system which displays error messages over | |
| 1494 multiple lines. The output of ":clist" and ":cc" etc. commands displays | |
| 1495 multi-lines in a single line, leading white space is removed. | |
| 1496 It should be easy to adopt the above LaTeX errorformat to any compiler output | |
| 1497 consisting of multi-line errors. | |
| 1498 | |
| 1499 The commands can be placed in a |vimrc| file or some other Vim script file, | |
| 237 | 1500 e.g. a script containing LaTeX related stuff which is loaded only when editing |
| 7 | 1501 LaTeX sources. |
| 1502 Make sure to copy all lines of the example (in the given order), afterwards | |
| 1503 remove the comment lines. For the '\' notation at the start of some lines see | |
| 1504 |line-continuation|. | |
| 1505 | |
| 1506 First prepare 'makeprg' such that LaTeX will report multiple | |
| 1507 errors; do not stop when the first error has occurred: > | |
| 1508 :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$*} | |
| 1509 < | |
| 1510 Start of multi-line error messages: > | |
| 1511 :set efm=%E!\ LaTeX\ %trror:\ %m, | |
| 1512 \%E!\ %m, | |
| 1513 < Start of multi-line warning messages; the first two also | |
| 237 | 1514 include the line number. Meaning of some regular expressions: |
| 7 | 1515 - "%.%#" (".*") matches a (possibly empty) string |
| 1516 - "%*\\d" ("\d\+") matches a number > | |
| 1517 \%+WLaTeX\ %.%#Warning:\ %.%#line\ %l%.%#, | |
| 1518 \%+W%.%#\ at\ lines\ %l--%*\\d, | |
| 1519 \%WLaTeX\ %.%#Warning:\ %m, | |
| 1520 < Possible continuations of error/warning messages; the first | |
| 1521 one also includes the line number: > | |
| 1522 \%Cl.%l\ %m, | |
| 1523 \%+C\ \ %m., | |
| 1524 \%+C%.%#-%.%#, | |
| 1525 \%+C%.%#[]%.%#, | |
| 1526 \%+C[]%.%#, | |
| 1527 \%+C%.%#%[{}\\]%.%#, | |
| 1528 \%+C<%.%#>%.%#, | |
| 1529 \%C\ \ %m, | |
| 1530 < Lines that match the following patterns do not contain any | |
| 1531 important information; do not include them in messages: > | |
| 1532 \%-GSee\ the\ LaTeX%m, | |
| 1533 \%-GType\ \ H\ <return>%m, | |
| 1534 \%-G\ ...%.%#, | |
| 1535 \%-G%.%#\ (C)\ %.%#, | |
| 1536 \%-G(see\ the\ transcript%.%#), | |
| 1537 < Generally exclude any empty or whitespace-only line from | |
| 1538 being displayed: > | |
| 1539 \%-G\\s%#, | |
| 1540 < The LaTeX output log does not specify the names of erroneous | |
| 1541 source files per line; rather they are given globally, | |
| 1542 enclosed in parentheses. | |
| 1543 The following patterns try to match these names and store | |
| 1544 them in an internal stack. The patterns possibly scan over | |
| 1545 the same input line (one after another), the trailing "%r" | |
| 1546 conversion indicates the "rest" of the line that will be | |
| 1547 parsed in the next go until the end of line is reached. | |
| 1548 | |
| 1549 Overread a file name enclosed in '('...')'; do not push it | |
| 1550 on a stack since the file apparently does not contain any | |
| 1551 error: > | |
| 1552 \%+O(%f)%r, | |
| 237 | 1553 < Push a file name onto the stack. The name is given after '(': > |
| 7 | 1554 \%+P(%f%r, |
| 1555 \%+P\ %\\=(%f%r, | |
| 1556 \%+P%*[^()](%f%r, | |
| 1557 \%+P[%\\d%[^()]%#(%f%r, | |
| 1558 < Pop the last stored file name when a ')' is scanned: > | |
| 1559 \%+Q)%r, | |
| 1560 \%+Q%*[^()])%r, | |
| 1561 \%+Q[%\\d%*[^()])%r | |
| 1562 | |
| 1563 Note that in some cases file names in the LaTeX output log cannot be parsed | |
| 1564 properly. The parser might have been messed up by unbalanced parentheses | |
| 1565 then. The above example tries to catch the most relevant cases only. | |
| 1566 You can customize the given setting to suit your own purposes, for example, | |
| 1567 all the annoying "Overfull ..." warnings could be excluded from being | |
| 1568 recognized as an error. | |
| 1569 Alternatively to filtering the LaTeX compiler output, it is also possible | |
| 1570 to directly read the *.log file that is produced by the [La]TeX compiler. | |
| 1571 This contains even more useful information about possible error causes. | |
| 1572 However, to properly parse such a complex file, an external filter should | |
| 1573 be used. See the description further above how to make such a filter known | |
| 1574 by Vim. | |
| 1575 | |
| 1576 *errorformat-Perl* | |
| 1577 In $VIMRUNTIME/tools you can find the efm_perl.pl script, which filters Perl | |
| 1578 error messages into a format that quickfix mode will understand. See the | |
| 1624 | 1579 start of the file about how to use it. (This script is deprecated, see |
| 1580 |compiler-perl|.) | |
