   1 * Introduction  -*-compilation-*-
   2
   3 This shows the different kinds of messages compile recognizes by default and
   4 how they are rendered.  It is intended both to help you decide which matchers
   5 you need and as a test of the matchers.  Move the mouse over a colored part or
   6 use `compilation-message-face', to see how much text was actually matched.
   7
   8 The important part is the symbol(s) line at the beginning of each entry.
   9 These are the symbols you can customize `compilation-error-regexp-alist' for,
  10 to match the messages shown in that entry.  A few complex cases have more than
  11 one symbol, which should be selected together.

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