Hi
(this is probably FAO Frank/Waldek)
When building a program and there is an error in one of the units used by the program, gpc gives an error in this format:
"timing.pas: In function `GetTimingCounter': timing.pas:123: error: function call used as a statement timing.pas: In main program: timing.pas:160: error: function call used as a statement gpc1.exe: gpc exited with status 1"
Would it be possible to provide the full path name to the source file in which the error occurred? - e.g., "/pas/units/timing.pas: In function `GetTimingCounter': /pas/units/timing.pas:123: error: function call used as a statement /pas/units/timing.pas: In main program: /pas/units/timing.pas:160: error: function call used as a statement gpc1.exe: gpc exited with status 1"
This would be very helpful for those developing IDEs (e.g., me) so that the source file can be opened into the IDE, and the cursor placed on the first line containing the error.
If this is possible, a patch would be fine at this point.
Thanks.

mmm I use three editors for programming: rhIDE, TextPaD, ConTEXT, all which have provisions to launch the compiler (with parameters --automake or --autobuild, --unit-path=...), get the error output into a window, and go to the correct line in the correct file when clicking onto the line in the error window. All three suppose that a non absolute path is relative to the directory in which is located the main file, which is true. This works in all cases.
Now adding what you ask for will give no harm, so why not ?

Hmm ... you're right. I get full pathnames from the command line, but not from my IDE. I need to look into that ...
