I have GNU Prolog 1.2.18 here (Debian package) and errors in my source code
are reported using the following format:
| ?- ['exp.pl'].
compiling /some/where/exp.pl for byte code...
/some/where/exp.pl:62 error: syntax error: . or operator expected after
expression (char:2)
/some/where/exp.pl:66 error: syntax error: . or operator expected after
expression (char:48)
/some/where/exp.pl:68 error: syntax error: . or operator expected after
expression (char:2)
/some/where/exp.pl:78 error: syntax error: , or ) expected (char:33)
/some/where/exp.pl:95 error: syntax error: . or operator expected after
expression (char:2)
5 error(s)
compilation failed
I think this should be changed to follow the GNU coding convention which
recommend the use of formats such as <file>:<linenb>:<text> or
<file>:<linenb>.<columnnb>:<text>.
The change should be minor and would bring much better integration with
generic IDEs such as Emacs.
