patch 8.0.0369: a few options are not defined, depending on features commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/c43a8b8de0676caf8a460b6af1310d7aba8221bb Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Sat Feb 25 21:12:29 2017 +0100 patch 8.0.0369: a few options are not defined, depending on features Problem: The 'balloondelay', 'ballooneval' and 'balloonexpr' options are not defined without the +balloon_eval feature. Testing that an option value fails does not work for unsupported options. Solution: Make the options defined but not supported. Don't test if setting unsupported options fails.

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.
