Compiler error grouping (suggestion)

Post by zzattack »

When using the CLANG compiler, errors are often emitted with references to multiple (chained) locations in source code. When making a project with the IDE's own compiler, these grouped errors are initially presented with only the top-level visible, and more details can be obtained by expanding the entry in the build messages list.

When using TwineCompile, the grouping of these messages is lost. Would it be possible for future versions to support a similar mechanism, so that errors remain grouped and less clutter is shown unless specifically looked for?

Thanks for bringing this up. We'll definitely look into different ways that we could support this.
