catch of multi-line compiler messages

[darmar]

Most of messages from GNU Fortran compiler are multi-line, e.g.:

Code

/home/darius/Other/test_f1/main.f90:17.12:
    implicit non e
            1
Error: Syntax error in IMPLICIT statement at (1)

I can't find a way to catch such messages properly with the current implementation of compiler framework.
Therefore I added few small changes which enables catching such messages.

Maybe somebody could review this patch?

Interesting. Most new compilers (gcc, clang) produce similar multiline messages, so this patch might be useful for them.
I'll take a look.

Here I am sending just a bit modified version of the same patch.

Can you show a screenshot with the results?

The screenshots with added comments are attached.

This is a good one and something that annoyed me,too. Is this still being monitored? Otherwise I would catch it up...

[oBFusCATed]

I've just applied it in my home install, but I'm not sure I can apply the same modifications to gcc or clang compilers.

@Morten: Have you tried this patch? Do you think it is fine to commit it?

I tried it, but as I am on Windows I have no experience with compilers other than GCC and VC.

It is enabled for Fortran only but should work just fine for any other GCC. For now, I see no reason not to commit it. However, before enabling it for (C/C++...) GCC or even VC we need more testing.

In svn, but I'm not sure if we can use this for gcc/clang messages.

Generally we should improve the error/warning handling with clang/gcc, because we're doing it sub-optimally.
We don't show the hints in the build messages, nor do we place the cursor a the correct column.
