bug#10981: 23.3; emacs compilation cannot find source file in some case ("In file included from")

[Michel Briand]

Compilation mode works well with error like this :

    ./display.h:899:2: warning: multi-line comment [-Wcomment]

but it fails with error like this :

    In file included from ./internal.h:32:0,                         <-- HERE
                     from world_script/fieldSet.c:33:
    ./display.h:899:2: warning: multi-line comment [-Wcomment]

Make has entered a sub-directory and Emacs has noted it because it offers this message in the minibuffer :

**Find this error in (default ./internal.h:32): /local/wk/michel/conf/cvs/freewrl/freewrl-HEAD/src/lib**

If I make the compilation buffer writable, and I delete the column number to have this line instead :

    In file included from ./internal.h:32,

then it works.


Here is a more complete compilation log to help you understand the

Thanks for the report. I think this (confusion caused by column numbers
in error messages) is already fixed in the Emacs trunk. You might like
to try a pretest from http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ to confirm.
