[Tinycc-devel] More details when using tcc_set_error_func

[Richard Brett]

Hello

If I use the function tcc_set_error_func() the function that gets 
called has a text string describing the error.  Is there any 
standardisation of this message line - sometimes it seems to be 
<string>:19: xyz....   Othertimes it has more prefixes to the message.  
What I am really after is the line number likely to be generating the 
error message.   I can extract from the string, but is there some other 
way - not all the error messages have line numbers, so reading the 
string isnt totally robust.

My environment is that I am using libtcc to compile inside another 
program, C is being used as an additional scripting language.  Users 
write their "programs" inside an editor in the program directly.  The 
only problem is if the entered program has an error of some kind, it is 
hard for me to direct the user to the area likely to be causing the 
issue.  Ideally I want to take them back to the editor and highlight the 
line(s) in question.

I am happy to hunt around in the source, but as I'm new to tcc I want to 
check there isnt something obvious I dont know about.
