GCC error formatter

Overview

• Uses the -fdiagnostics-format=json flag
• Works with Make et al. as long as the only [{ JSON objects }] in the output are GCC's

Usage

As import

from gccf import format_gcc_output
command = 'g++ -Wall -Wextra -fdiagnostics-format=json test2.cpp'
format_gcc_output (command)

As script

Edit the gcc_cmd string at the top of gccf.py as needed and run.

$ python gccf.py

# Or as bash script
$ ./gccf.py     # uses /usr/bin/python

Color configuration

Personalize the colors at the top of gccf.py. More colors are available in colors.py.
