\begin_layout Section
Introduction
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
After typesetting a document, LyX scans the LaTeX log file looking for errors.
 For each error found, the line number is obtained and a error box is displayed
 in the LyX screen at that position.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To use this feature to view compilation errors while working with literate
 documents, we need a program that filters the compilation errors and puts
 them in a format suitable for LyX reading it.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
In this document we present a filter that recognizes compilation error messages
 from noweb, gnu C, and the IBM C compiler (xlc).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The filter is required to read from standard input, parse for error messages
 and copy the error messages to the standard output.
 During the output process, the filter must present the error messages in
 a format that LyX can interpret, currently, the LaTeX error message format.
 Of course, nothing will prevent future LyX releases from being able to
 read other formats as well (like gcc error messages for example).
 This mechanism is necessary to fully explore the literate programming tool's
 capabilities.

The output format mimics the TeX error messages format.
 This function prints a number of lines residing in the global variable

 There is no special requirement on the input strings, they can be anything.

Functions Implementation
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Both noweave and notangle routines, always output one single line for each
 error found, thus to scan the buffer for noweb error messages is enough
 to exam one input line at a time.
 Note that the noweb software does not provide a line error number, so all
 errors boxes related to noweb messages will be displayed at the beginning
 of the file.

\begin_layout Standard
The examination itself is very inefficient.
 Unfortunately noweb doesn't have any characteristic that would help to
 identify one of its error messages.
 The solution is to collect all possible output messages in an array of
 strings, and turn the examination process into a linear search in this
 array.

\begin_layout Standard
The gcc compiler error messages are more complicated to scan.
 Each error can span more than one line in the buffer.
 The good news is that every buffer line on each error has the same pattern,
 and share the same line number.
 Thus the strategy will be to accumulate lines in the buffer while the reported
 line number is still the same.
 At the time they differ, all the accumulated lines, except the last one,
 will belong to one single error message, which now can be output-ed to
 LyX.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Every gcc error message contains a string with no space followed by a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

:
\begin_inset Quotes eld

 If the next character is a space, then this line is a header of a error
 message and the next line will detail the line number of the source code
 where the error was found.
 Otherwise, the next thing is a integer number followed by another

To combine the scan of noweb error messages and gcc error messages is simple
 if we realize that it is not possible to find a noweb error message in
 the middle of a gcc error message.
 So we just repeat the gcc procedure and test for noweb error messages in
 the beginning of the scan:
