gccf

GCC error formatter

Overview

This script parses the data output from gcc's -fdiagnostics-format=json flag. It works with make and possibly other builders as long as the only [{ JSON object }] in its input is gcc's.

Usage

Make sure that the shebang path at the top of the script points to your Python interpreter's location.

#!/usr/bin/python3

Copy the script to your PATH.

$ cp gccf.py ~/.local/bin/gccf
$ gccf -Wall -Wextra -o my_app main.c

See the build_test_files_gccf script for an example of how to import the core function into your own Python script.

Development

$ ./build_test_files_gccf
$ ./build_test_files_gcc
