3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	26 Vim has a special mode to speedup the edit-compile-edit cycle. This is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	27 inspired by the quickfix option of the Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	28 The idea is to save the error messages from the compiler in a file and use Vim
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	29 to jump to the errors one by one. You can examine each problem and fix it,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	30 without having to remember all the error messages.

170 8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	32 In Vim the quickfix commands are used more generally to find a list of
8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	33 positions in files. For example, \|:vimgrep\| finds pattern matches. You can
231 8eec9649b7a2 updated for version 7.0064 vimboss parents: 170 diff changeset	34 use the positions in a script with the \|getqflist()\| function. Thus you can
170 8c60f65311fa updated for version 7.0052 vimboss parents: 163 diff changeset	35 do a lot more than the edit/compile/fix cycle!

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1186 Once "grep" has executed, Vim parses the results using the 'grepformat'
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1187 option. This option works in the same way as the 'errorformat' option - see

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1189 your grep outputs in a non-standard format, or you are using some other

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1214 Using the stack of error lists that Vim keeps, you can browse your files to
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1215 look for functions and the functions they call. For example, suppose that you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1216 have to add an argument to the read_file() function. You enter this command: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1217

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1220 You use ":cn" to go along the list of matches and add the argument. At one
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1221 place you have to get the new argument from a higher level function msg(), and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1222 need to change that one too. Thus you use: >

f529edb9bab3 updated for version 7.0025 vimboss parents: 9 diff changeset	1228 these functions. Once you are finished with one function, you can use >

7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1235 list of branches. ":colder" goes back to the previous level. You can mix

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1262 - Delete the "current_compiler" and "b:current_compiler" variables.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1289 To use Vim with Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga you should do the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1290 following:
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1291 - Set the CCEDIT environment variable with the command: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1292 mset "CCEDIT=vim -q"
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1293 - Compile with the -qf option. If the compiler finds any errors, Vim is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1294 started and the cursor is positioned on the first error. The error message
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1295 will be displayed on the last line. You can go to other errors with the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1296 commands mentioned above. You can fix the errors and write the file(s).
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1297 - If you exit Vim normally the compiler will re-compile the same file. If you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1298 exit with the :cq command, the compiler will terminate. Do this if you
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1299 cannot fix the error, or if another file needs to be compiled first.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1300
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1301 There are some restrictions to the Quickfix mode on the Amiga. The
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1302 compiler only writes the first 25 errors to the errorfile (Manx's
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1303 documentation does not say how to get more). If you want to find the others,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1304 you will have to fix a few errors and exit the editor. After recompiling,
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1305 up to 25 remaining errors will be found.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1306
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1307 If Vim was started from the compiler, the :sh and some :! commands will not
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1308 work, because Vim is then running in the same process as the compiler and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1309 stdin (standard input) will not be interactive.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1548 Note that the %C string is given before the %A here: since the expression
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1549 ' %.%#' (which stands for the regular expression ' .*') matches every line

98a88a884610 updated for version 7.0230 vimboss parents: 787 diff changeset	1557 For example, if the error looks like this:

1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1567 every line in the error file gets a complete new run through the error format
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1568 lines. For example, if one has: >
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1569 setlocal efm=aa,bb,cc,dd,ee
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1570 Where aa, bb, etc. are error format strings. Each line of the error file will
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1571 be matched to the pattern aa, then bb, then cc, etc. Just because cc matched
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1572 the previous error line does _not_ mean that dd will be tried first on the
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1573 current line, even if cc and dd are multi-line errorformat strings.

237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1613 can be used to match several patterns in the same line. Thus it is possible

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1636 The scanf()-like "%*[]" notation is supported for backward-compatibility
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1637 with previous versions of Vim. However, it is also possible to specify

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1639 Since meta characters of the regular expression language can be part of

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1641 be escaped), meta symbols have to be written with leading '%':
787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1642 %\ The single '\' character. Note that this has to be
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1643 escaped ("%\\") in ":set errorformat=" definitions.
787 1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1644 %. The single '.' character.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1645 %# The single '*'(!) character.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1646 %^ The single '^' character. Note that this is not
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1647 useful, the pattern already matches start of line.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1648 %$ The single '$' character. Note that this is not
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1649 useful, the pattern already matches end of line.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1650 %[ The single '[' character for a [] character range.
1a44839049ae updated for version 7.0229 vimboss parents: 720 diff changeset	1651 %~ The single '~' character.
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1652 When using character classes in expressions (see \|/\i\| for an overview),
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1653 terms containing the "\+" quantifier can be written in the scanf() "%*"
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1654 notation. Example: "%\\d%\\+" ("\d\+", "any number") is equivalent to "%*\\d".
7 3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1655 Important note: The $...$ grouping of sub-matches can not be used in format

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1661 To be able to detect output from several compilers, several format patterns
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1662 may be put in 'errorformat', separated by commas (note: blanks after the comma
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1663 are ignored). The first pattern that has a complete match is used. If no
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1664 match is found, matching parts from the last one will be used, although the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1665 file name is removed and the error message is set to the whole message. If
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1666 there is a pattern that may match output from several compilers (but not in a
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1667 right way), put it after one that is more restrictive.

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1669 To include a comma in a pattern precede it with a backslash (you have to type
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1670 two in a ":set" command). To include a backslash itself give two backslashes
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1671 (you have to type four in a ":set" command). You also need to put a backslash

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1727 If you have a compiler that produces error messages that do not fit in the
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1728 format string, you could write a program that translates the error messages
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1729 into this format. You can use this program with the ":make" command by
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1730 changing the 'makeprg' option. For example: >
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1731 :set mp=make\ \\\\|&\ error_filter
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1732 The backslashes before the pipe character are required to avoid it to be
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1733 recognized as a command separator. The backslash before each space is
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1734 required for the set command.

237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1740 make output. For GNU-make this is rather simple, as it always prints the

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1747 Maintaining the correct directory is more complicated if you don't use
237 73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1748 GNU-make. AIX-make for example doesn't print any information about its
73354c21f1e4 updated for version 7.0066 vimboss parents: 231 diff changeset	1749 working directory. Then you need to enhance the makefile. In the makefile of

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1757 1) Check if the given directory is a subdirectory of the current directory.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1758 If this is true, store it as the current directory.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1759 2) If it is not a subdir of the current directory, try if this is a
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1760 subdirectory of one of the upper directories.
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1761 3) If the directory still isn't found, it is assumed to be a subdirectory

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1777 If make processes the directory "./dir1" before the current directory and
3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1778 there is an error in the file "./file1.c", you will end up with the file

3fc0f57ecb91 updated for version 7.0001 vimboss parents: diff changeset	1961 You can customize the given setting to suit your own purposes, for example,
