Is there a vim errorformat that will catch a function name instead of a line number?

117 views Asked by At

I am trying to write an errorformat for vim that will catch a function name and convert it to a line number so that the errors point at least to the general location of the error. Being able to still include the function name in the error message would be ideal.

Here is an example error message that I would like to catch

(filename.foo) WARNING! Error message about problem in function 'function()'

So what I would like is for it to take the function() part and convert it to the line number on which the function is defined, which would probably require some sort of ctags integration. Is this possible?
