* Introduction  -*-compilation-*-

This shows the different kinds of messages compile recognizes by default and
how they are rendered.  It is intended both to help you decide which matchers
you need and as a test of the matchers.  Move the mouse over a colored part or
use `compilation-message-face', to see how much text was actually matched.

The important part is the symbol(s) line at the beginning of each entry.
These are the symbols you can customize `compilation-error-regexp-alist' for,
to match the messages shown in that entry.  A few complex cases have more than
one symbol, which should be selected together.


* Absoft FORTRAN 77 Compiler 3.1.3

symbol: absoft

Error on line 3 of t.f: Execution error unclassifiable statement
Line 45 of "foo.c": bloofle undefined
error on line 19 of fplot.f: spelling error?

* Ada & Mpatrol (memory leak debugger)

symbol: ada

This matches only the end of line, the beginning is covered by GNU style.

* IBM AIX PS/2 C version 1.1

* Ant Java: works at least for jikes and javac

symbol: ant

The regexps found on http://ant.apache.org/faq.html, and since integrated in
both Emacsen, were hairy.  Why so many numbers for jikes -- is one a column
number?

* IBM jikes

symbols: jikes-file jikes-line

Jikes separates file names from the actual error messages.  For visual
feedback the underline and the word "Error" on the 3rd line is fontified like
a file name would be.

* Microsoft C/C++

symbol: msft

This used to be less selective and allowed characters other than parens around
the line number, but that caused confusion for GNU-style error messages.  This
used to reject spaces and dashes in file names, but they are valid now; so I
made it more strict about the error message that follows.

keyboard handler.c(537) : warning C4005: 'min' : macro redefinition
d:\tmp\test.c(23) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'if'


* Oracle pro*c

symbol: oracle

This stupid precompiler wraps lines at column 80 in the middle of a file name.
There is no obvious way of detecting this or turning it off.  But if you
delete the newline, the file name will automatically be reparsed, so that you
can then go there.

* Sparc Pascal

symbols: sparc-pascal-file sparc-pascal-line sparc-pascal-example

These messages don't contain a file name.  Instead the compiler gives a
message whenever the file being compiled is changed.  For visual feedback the
error code is fontified like a file name would be.

* Directory tracking

Directories are matched via `compilation-directory-matcher'.  Files which are
not shown as full paths are searched for relative to the directory where the
message was issued.

* Miscellaneous

These are not messages that can be gone to.  They are only highlighted via
`compilation-mode-font-lock-keywords' to recognize some useful information at
a glance.
