Bug #: 55336
Summary: Feature request : message output format XML
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org

Every compiler has its own error output format. It would be better for IDE's if
all would have the same error message output syntax.
Benefits:
- easier parsing for all developmetn environments
- compount errors can be handelt together like
Exanmple:
<error index=0 id=W0004711> !# index starting from zero
<text file=myfile.cpp line=12345>wrong number of arguments in function
xyz</text>
<text file=myfile2 line=54321>error occurs at this position</text>
</error>
In this example you can see how it is possible to connect errors together.
