patch 9.0.2128: runtime(swig): add syntax and filetype plugins Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/2e31065a650015892179e520038bf2083a9519b6 Author: Julien Marrec <julien.marrec@gmail.com> Date: Sat Nov 25 15:30:46 2023 +0100 patch 9.0.2128: runtime(swig): add syntax and filetype plugins Add syntax and filetype plugins for SWIG (Simplified Wrapper Interface Generator) description files. The default syntax for .i files highlights comments in a reverse color scheme which doesn't look well. This syntax builds on vim's c++ syntax by adding highlighting for common swig directives and user defined directives. For an alternative syntax, see vimscript #1247 (which I found after writing this). closes: #13562 Co-authored-by: Mat?j Cepl <mcepl@cepl.eu> Co-authored-by: Julien Marrec <julien.marrec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Julien Marrec <julien.marrec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Doug Kearns <dougkearns@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>

My compiler (SGI MIPSpro C compiler - IRIX 6.4) works like this.
I have written a script mve (make vim errors), through which I pipe my make
output, which translates output of the following form:

cfe: Error: syntax.c, line 4: Syntax Error
     int i[12;
 ------------^

into:

 cl.c, line 4, col 12 :  Syntax Error

(in vim notation:  %f, line %l, col %c : %m)

You might be able to tailor this for your compiler's output.
