Highlights and sets error markers for lines with compile errors

Author: Michael Hofmann
Newest version: https://github.com/mh21/errormarker.vim

Introduction

Hooks the make quickfix command and converts all compiler errors into signs that are placed next to the line with the error. Additionally, lines with errors are highlighted. Hover with your mouse over such a line to get the error message in a tooltip (only gui), or press \cc. The error markers will be updated on every call to :make.

Screenshots

Doxygen in action with a lot of errors:

Installation

Use pathogen.vim.

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/mh21/errormarker.vim

Configuration

To distinguish between warnings and errors for gcc messages, place sth. like this in your .vimrc:

let &errorformat="%f:%l:%c: %t%*[^:]:%m,%f:%l: %t%*[^:]:%m," . &errorformat

If you use a different locale than English, this may be also needed:

set makeprg=LANGUAGE=C\ make
