For each error found, the line number is obtained and a error box is displayed in the \SpecialChar LyX screen at that position. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To use this feature to view compilation errors while working with literate documents, we need a program that filters the compilation errors and puts them in a format suitable for \SpecialChar LyX reading it. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In this document we present a filter that recognizes compilation error messages from noweb, gnu C, and the IBM C compiler (xlc). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The filter is required to read from standard input, parse for error messages and copy the error messages to the standard output. During the output process, the filter must present the error messages in a format that \SpecialChar LyX can interpret, currently, the \SpecialChar LaTeX error message format. Of course, nothing will prevent future \SpecialChar LyX releases from being able to read other formats as well (like gcc error messages for example). This mechanism is necessary to fully explore the literate programming tool's capabilities. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Algorithm \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex Chunk status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Function bodies \end_layout \end_inset int \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout main (int argc, char **argv) \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout if (argc == 2) { \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout switch (argv[1][0]) { \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout case 'n': \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout <> \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout break; \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout case 'x': \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout <> \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout break; \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout case 'a': \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout <> \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout break; \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout case 's': \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout case 'b': \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout <> \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout break; \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout case 'g': \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout default: \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout <> \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout break; \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout } else { \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout <> \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex Chunk status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Function prototypes \end_layout \end_inset int main (int argc, char **argv); \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Data Structures \end_layout \begin_layout Standard We resort to some global variables to allow access from several different routines.

Every error message starts with a quoted string with no spaces, a comma, a space, the word \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset line \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset , a space, and some variable text.

Each error can span more than one line in the buffer. The good news is that every buffer line on each error has the same pattern, and share the same line number. Thus the strategy will be to accumulate lines in the buffer while the reported line number is still the same. At the time they differ, all the accumulated lines, except the last one, will belong to one single error message, which now can be output-ed to \SpecialChar LyX . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Every gcc error message contains a string with no space followed by a \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset : \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset . If the next character is a space, then this line is a header of a error message and the next line will detail the line number of the source code where the error was found.
