<div class="markdown_content"><p>The comments in CompilerOutputter.h suggest that "%f:%l:" is the default for gcc compilers. This isn't useful for the common use case of this outputter -- stepping through to the next error -- when you're building unit tests in a source tree with many directories.</p> <p>e.g.</p> <p>foo/module1/code.cc<br /> foo/module1/code_test.cc</p> <p>foo/module2/code.cc<br /> foo/module2/code_test.cc</p> <p>with the default of "%f:%l:" you won't know which test an error occurred in, and emacs won't know where to find it.</p> <p>an explicit</p> <p>outputter.setLocationFormat("%p:%l:")</p> <p>does the right thing, but this location format should be the default.</p> <p>Thanks!</p></div>
