NAME

ooef - OOC error filter

SYNOPSIS

oo2c --error-style char-pos ... | ooef [options]
ooef [options] <file-name> <pos>

DESCRIPTION

The filter program ooef can be used to transform error messages, as emitted by oo2c, into a more convenient format. If no module name is given, ooef reads the output of oo2c from stdin, and writes a modified version to stdout. Error messages are rewritten, and the rest of the input is echoed.

If a file name and a character position are passed as arguments, appropriate output is generated to designate the given position in the module's source text.

NOTE: This tool has not been updated to work with oo2c's default error style. It only parses the old v1 style error format, which can be selected with --error-style char-pos.

OPTIONS

--context, -c: Write an extract of the source text and insert additional lines to point to the error position. This is the default setting. Lines are numbered starting at 1.
--line, -l: Rewrite error message to file:line:error. This will only give an approximation of the exact error position. The first line has the index 1.
--linecol, -L: Rewrite error message to file:line,column:error. The first line has the number 1, likewise the first column.
--config <file>: Use given file as configuration file.
--help, -h: Write short usage summary and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

OO2CRC holds the name of the configuration file. OOC_REPS is a list of repository paths, separated by colons (:). Empty paths are ignored.
