Re: [emacs] mode-compile with carp output buggy

I just re-ran this entire thing and couldn't replicate. My setup is:

GNU Emacs 25.1.50.8 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.20.6
mode-compile-version is "2.29"
cperl-version is "6.2"

As for the mode-compile relevant section, it's here:>/p>

(defvar perl-compilation-error-regexp-alist
  ;; Contributed by Martin Jost
  '(
    ;; PERL 4
    ("in file \\([^ ]+\\) at line \\([0-9]+\\).*" 1 2)
    ;; PERL 5   Blubber at FILE line XY, <XY> line ab.
    ("at \\([^ ]+\\) line \\([0-9]+\\)," 1 2)
    ;; PERL 5   Blubber at FILE line XY.
    ("at \\([^ ]+\\) line \\([0-9]+\\)." 1 2)
    )
  ;; This look like a paranoiac regexp: could anybody find a better on
+e? (which WORK).
  ;;'(("^[^\n]* \\(file\\|at\\) \\([^ \t\n]+\\) [^\n]*line \\([0-9]+\\
+)[\\.,]" 2 3))
  "Alist that specifies how to match errors in perl output.

See variable compilation-error-regexp-alist for more details.")

Mayhap all you need is to upgrade?

Thanks! The latest stable emacs release is 24.5. That's also the cygwin version I also tested. Did you check mode-compile-version with `c-h v` ? ( my el file says 2.29 too ) Otherwise I don't see where to get this version. The regexes you show shouldn't work, at least with perl-mode. I suspect my cperl-mode.el regexes are ignored because of of aliasing both modes (Perl-mode is default, cPerl-mode must be activated by start up) Will dig into it. As a side note emacs urgently needs test suites... Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l]

Did you check mode-compile-version with c-h v No, you're right, it does say "mode-compile.el,v 2.28" Principle of Least Astonishment: Any language that doesn’t occasionally surprise the novice will pay for it by continually surprising the expert	[reply]
