[cfe-dev] Visual Studio parsable error output from clang-cl

[Kim]

Hi guys,

I'm working on an extension for visual studio 2013 that will let me 
compile with clang-cl and I want to have the output from clang fully 
integrated into the output pane and error list. The errors I'm getting 
from clang-cl look like this:

C:\Users\Kim\Documents\Visual Studio 
2013\Projects\ConsoleApplication8\ConsoleApplication8\Source.cpp(5,2) :  
error: use of undeclared identifier 'ohno'

While the regular VS error format looks like this:
 >c:\users\kim\documents\visual studio 
2013\projects\consoleapplication8\project1\source.cpp(6): error C2065: 
'safsa' : undeclared identifier

And the clang error line is not parsed for the error list correctly with 
ParseOutputStringForTaskItem:

             while ((line = compileProcess.StandardError.ReadLine()) != 
null)
             {
                 line = line + "\n";
                 uint[] priority = new uint[1];
                 string[] file = new string[1];
                 uint[] line_number = new uint[1];
                 string[] msg = new string[1];
                 int[] found = new int[1];

                 launchpad.ParseOutputStringForTaskItem(line, priority, 
file, line_number, msg, found);

                     OutputPane.OutputTaskItemString(line, 
(Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.VSTASKPRIORITY)priority[0], 
VSTASKCATEGORY.CAT_BUILDCOMPILE,
                       "Error", 
(int)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop._vstaskbitmap.BMP_SQUIGGLE, 
file[0], line_number[0], msg[0]);

             }

             OutputPane.FlushToTaskList();

I get output in the output pane fine (and I can click the message to 
goto source location) but nothing in the error list.

I figure that clang-cl outputs visual studio compatible error messages 
by default but I just wanted to check with the experts. Maybe someone 
here has already got this working.

Thanks,
Kim
