patch 8.2.2933: when 'clipboard' is "unnamed" zp does not work correctly Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/6e0b553fa12fc5ad5d8ee3d8457e7cb16f38b56f Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Fri Jun 4 17:11:47 2021 +0200 patch 8.2.2933: when 'clipboard' is "unnamed" zp does not work correctly Problem: When 'clipboard' is "unnamed" zp and zP do not work correctly. Solution: Pass -1 to str_to_reg() and fix computing the character width instead of using the byte length. (Christian Brabandt, closes #8301, closes #8317)

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.
