             Bug #: 55336
           Summary: Feature request : message output format XML
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: clemens1509@web.de


Every compiler has its own error output format. It would be better for IDE's if
all would have the same error message output syntax.

Benefits:
- easier parsing for all developmetn environments
- compount errors can be handelt together like

Exanmple:

<error index=0 id=W0004711>   !# index starting from zero
  <text file=myfile.cpp line=12345>wrong number of arguments in function
xyz</text>
  <text file=myfile2 line=54321>error occurs at this position</text>
</error>

In this example you can see how it is possible to connect errors together.
