- diff-mode.el:
A cleanup is included in my compile.el. The question is why this needs
compilation-minor-mode at all, only to override its commands? Even though the
concepts don't quite fit, it might be interesting to derive diff-mode from
compilation-mode and let that do the parsing.
- diff.el:
This little library messes around in internal variables extensively. IMHO
it should be merged into diff-mode, as it offers little extra.
I would be glad if they were merged; it is ugly to have both.
Would you like to do it?
- progmodes/ada-mode.el: ada-compile-goto-error
This apparently deals with multiple file-names to be found in one
message. This is now handled by the default compile.
- progmodes/ada-xref.el:
Probably mostly works. Special setup may required a derived
gnatfind-mode comparable to grep-mode.
It is good if these can be simplified. We need to do the job, though,
in order to install the new compile.el.
- textmodes/tex-mode.el:
Parsing classical TeX output is impossible to get right. Make TeX
use -file-line-error-style or -c-style-errors with normal compile.
Making this work together with comint for interaction is under
study, and will be handled by my library.
It would be nice to improve TeX. I will suggest that, but I don't
know if it will happen. Meanwhile, Emacs should handle the current
TeX error messages at least as well as it did before.
