Hello all
I have a potential patch for a bug that prevents the error
parser from functioning on my VC projects.
The bug has been in bugzilla for some time: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72599
Some MS tools convert filename case in their output. This
prevents VCErrorParser from finding the filename in the HashMap. For my
purposes, it was sufficient to use toLowerCase() when adding filenames to
fFileInProject HashMap in ErrorParserManager’s initErrorParserManager
method and to also convert case before performing the lookup in VCErrorParser.
This appears to be a problem only on Windows platforms where
filenames are case insensitive but case is preserved.
So I was wondering if this should be enabled as a default for Windows platforms
or whether it should it be enabled/disabled as a Preference?
Also, since the entries in the fFileInProject HashMap would
get lowercased (on Win platforms), this would also affect other error parsers
and the case- conversion-before-lookup would be needed in them as well.
Am I missing any potential problems with this approach?
