   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.

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

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