Thank you, I have now made the `gnu` rule more robust again. It no longer
accidentally matches the example given.
Rudolf, I suggest you customise your Emacs by adding something like
("^ *ERROR:\\(?1:[^\n:]+\\):\\(?2:[[:digit:]]+\\): " 1 2)
or, equivalently,
`(,(rx
bol (* " ") "ERROR:"
(group-n 1 ; file
(+ (not (in ":\n"))))
":"
(group-n 2 (+ digit)) ; line
": ")
1 2)
to `compilation-regexp-alist`. We (that is, I) have no idea what is emitting
the message and how stable the format is, so adding it to the standard
compilation rule list is a fool's errand. We wouldn't even know what to call it.
If you have deeper knowledge of the tool and how it works then you might want
to help us clarify it or even get the message updated to the standard GNU
format. Some tools are able to use that format even if they do not emit it by
default.
