Support for the GNU error message format has been requested.
Issues
The GNU spec isn’t quite specific. The following issues need to be addressed:
- What should be put in as the file name when there is none?
- How does one stuff a URI in the file name field considering that the colon is a field separator?
- What should be done if line breaks occur in the message?
- Do the anticipated consuming apps support UTF-8?
- Should this format only include errors? How does one distinguish informative messages?
- Validator.nu counts columns by UTF-16 code units with a tab simly counting as one column. The GNU format counts “ASCII” columns with 8-stop tab expansion. I really wouldn’t want to do tab expansion.
