Introduction
\layout Standard
After typesetting a document, LyX scans the LaTeX log file looking for errors.
For each error found, the line number is obtained and a error box is displayed
in the LyX screen at that position.
\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 LyX reading it.
\layout Standard
In this document we present a filter that recognizes compilation error messages
from noweb, gnu C, and the IBM C compiler (xlc).
\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 LyX can interpret, currently, the LaTeX error message format.
Of course, nothing will prevent future 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.

Data Structures

We resort to some global variables to allow access from several different
routines.
These are the buffer and related pointers used during the parse of the
input.

The output format
\layout Standard
The output format mimics the LaTeX error messages format.
This function prints a number of lines residing in the global variable
\family typewriter
buffer
\family default
, a program name and line number.
There is no special requirement on the input strings, they can be anything.

Functions Implementation
\layout Standard
Both noweave and notangle routines, always output one single line for each
error found, thus to scan the buffer for noweb error messages is enough
to exam one input line at a time.
Note that the noweb software does not provide a line error number, so all
errors boxes related to noweb messages will be displayed at the beginning
of the file.
\layout Scrap
<<Scan input for noweb error messages>>=

{
\newline
last_buf_line = 0;
\newline

\newline
}
\newline
}
\newline

\layout Standard
The examination itself is very inefficient.
Unfortunately noweb doesn't have any characteristic that would help to
identify one of its error messages.
The solution is to collect all possible output messages in an array of
strings, and turn the examination process into a linear search in this
array.
\layout Scrap

\newline
char *noweb_msgs[] = {
\newline
"couldn't open file",
\newline
"couldn't open temporary file",

\newline

A noweb error message can be any string that contains a matching pair of
< <\SpecialChar ~

The xlc compiler always outputs one single line for each error found, thus
to scan the buffer for xlc error messages it is enough to exam one input
line at a time.
\layout Scrap
<<Scan input for xlc error messages>>=
\newline
{
\newline
last_buf_line = 0;
\newline
while (fgets(buffer[last_buf_line], 200, stdin)) {
\newline
if (xlc_try(0))
\newline
output_error(1, err_line, "xlc");
\newline
}
\newline
}
\newline
@
\layout Standard
A xlc error message is easy to identify.
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.
The following routine tests if a given buffer line matches this criteria:
\layout Scrap
<<Function bodies>>=
\newline
int
\newline
xlc_try (int buf_line)
\newline
{
\newline
char *s, *t;
\newline
\newline

s = t+1;
\newline
while (*s != '"' && *s != ' ' && *s != '

\newline
s++;
\newline
if (*t != '"' || *s != '"' || strncmp(s+1, ", line ", 7) != 0)
\newline
return 0;
\newline
s += 8;
\newline
err_line = atoi(s);

return 1;

The gcc compiler error messages are more complicated to scan.
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
LyX.
\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.
Otherwise, the next thing is a integer number followed by another
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
:
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
.

As we mentioned, when the scan of one gcc error message is completed everything
in the buffer except the last line is one single error message.
But if the scan terminates with a EOF or through finding one line that
does not match the gcc error message criteria, then there is no
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
last line
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
in the buffer to be concerned with.
In those cases we empty the buffer completely.

To combine the scan of noweb error messages and xlc error messages is very
simple.
We just try each one for every input line:
\layout Scrap
<<AIX system using both noweb and xlc>>=
\newline
{
\newline
last_buf_line = 0;
\newline
while (fgets(buffer[0], 200, stdin)) {
\newline
if (noweb_try(0))
\newline
output_error(1, 0, "noweb");
\newline
else if (xlc_try(0))
\newline
output_error(1, err_line, "xlc");
\newline
}
\newline
}

\layout Standard
To combine the scan of noweb error messages and gcc error messages is simple
if we realize that it is not possible to find a noweb error message in
the middle of a gcc error message.
So we just repeat the gcc procedure and test for noweb error messages in
the beginning of the scan:
\layout Scrap
<<Solaris and Linux systems using both noweb and gcc>>=
\newline
{
\newline
char *s, *t;
\newline
\newline
last_buf_line = 0;
\newline
while (fgets(buffer[last_buf_line], 200, stdin)) {
\newline
/****** Skip lines until I find an error */
\newline
if (last_buf_line == 0 && noweb_try(0)) {
\newline
output_error(1, 0, "noweb");
\newline
continue;
\newline
}
\newline
s = strpbrk(buffer[last_buf_line], " :");
\newline
if (s == NULL || *s == ' ')
\newline
continue; /* No gcc error found here */
\newline
do {
\newline
<<gcc error message criteria is to find a "...:999:" or a "...: ">>
\newline
/****** OK It is an error, get line number */
\newline
err_line = atoi(s+1);
\newline
if (last_err_line == 0 || last_err_line == err_line) {
\newline
last_err_line = err_line;
\newline
continue; /* It's either a header or a continuation, don't output
yet */
\newline
}
\newline
/****** Completed the scan of one error message, output it to LyX
*/
\newline
discharge_buffer(1);
\newline
break;
\newline
} while (fgets(buffer[last_buf_line], 200, stdin));
\newline

/****** EOF completes the scan of whatever was being scanned */
