This could be a quite dangerous measure as any unrecognised line will be
totally ignored. Moreover, many Makefiles include other commands, and
their output should generally not be lost.
If you add this feature, I propose not to make it the default. This
feature is not only useful with gcc, so the variable used to activate it
could have a general name and be used in several compiler files.
By the way, here is two lines coming from the default errorformat
option:
\%D%*\\a:\ Entering\ directory\ `%f',
\%X%*\\a:\ Leaving\ directory\ `%f',
They are useful when using the -C option from the vim command line.
What do you think of adding them?
Thanks,
Nicolas.
