Subject: Error messages in Caml &co
(sorry if you read this 3 times; i'm reposting it since i'm getting
"Service unavailable" from concorde.inria.fr - perhaps a local problem)
Just a tiny suggestion for proud caml authors
Make caml error messages compatible with Emacs conventions, for
instance compatible with GNU error message convention
filename:number: error message
Otherwise, give a hint regarding the value of the Emacs variable for
parsing error messages; I've added to my ~/.emacs
(setq
compilation-error-regexp-alist
(append compilation-error-regexp-alist
'(
(".*lines? \\([0-9]+\\)[ \t]+of[ \t]+\"?\\([^\":\n]+\\)\"?"
3 2)
)
)
)
But I am not sure it is correct. If people have a better value, please
tell it!
(If Caml followed usual GNU practice, I won't have to add this).
I do know that CAML is not under GNU license, but many published
compilers follow the GNU convention (which I find ok).
