Thanks!
Was there a reason to prefer curly braces there, rather than the more
conventional parentheses?
'$(error_fns) \(.*%s[:"], .*(name|file)[^"]*\);$$' *.c; \
I had a slight preference for the curly braces since it was used in a shell
pipeline
and so it's immediately obvious it's a ${variable interpolation}
rather than being misread as a $(command substitution).
cheers,
