Re: How to adapt compilation-error-regexp-alist

[Pascal Quesseveur <pquessev@gmail.com>]

I modified compilation-error-regexp-alist as follows ant it works:

(add-to-list 'compilation-error-regexp-alist
             '("^[[:blank:]]+\\([[:alnum:]/\\].*\\):\\([0-9]+\\):[[:blank:]]+\\(?:error\\|\\(warning\\)\\|\\(info\\)\\)"
                   1 2 nil (3 . 4) 1))

(i am not sure there are info messages from javac compiler)

But I have a couple of questions. IIUW my problem comes from the fact
there is at least one regexp in compilation-error-regexp-alist that
matches the error line without removing spaces at beginning of file
name. But there's no mean to identify that regexp. Regexp definitions
are set in compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist and they don't use a
uniform way of coding with makes them difficult to read.

Should'nt the definition of the list change according to the
programming modes used?
