patch 8.2.4510: Vim9: shortening commands leads to confusing script Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/204852ae2adfdde10c656ca7f14e5b4207a69172 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Sat Mar 5 12:56:44 2022 +0000 patch 8.2.4510: Vim9: shortening commands leads to confusing script Problem: Vim9: shortening commands leads to confusing script. Solution: In Vim9 script require at least ":cont" for ":continue", "const" instead of "cons", "break" instead of "brea", "catch" instead of "cat", "else" instead of "el" "elseif" instead of "elsei" "endfor" instead of "endfo" "endif" instead of "en" "endtry" instead of "endt", "finally" instead of "fina", "throw" instead of "th", "while" instead of "wh".

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.
