From 6ceb8616adc66cbe6a98e116ee0ca2668cabe2be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Schwarze Date: Thu, 19 May 2022 16:09:26 +0000 Subject: Adjust a column number in an error message after the roff_expand() reorganization in roff.c rev. 1.388. The new parsing direction has two effects: 1. Correct output when a line contains more than one expanding escape sequence that has a side effect. 2. Column numbers in diagnostic messages now report the changed column numbers after any expansions left of them have taken place; in the past, column numbers refered to the original input line. Arguably, item 2 was a bit better in its old state, but slightly less helpful diagnostics are a small price to pay for correct output. Besides, when the expansion of user-defined strings or macros is involved, in many cases, mandoc(1) is already unable to report meaningful line and column numbers, so item 2 is not a noteworthy regression. The effort and code complication for fixing that would probably be excessive, in particular since well-written manual pages are not supposed to use such features in the first place. --- regress/roff/return/basic.out_lint | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'regress') diff --git a/regress/roff/return/basic.out_lint b/regress/roff/return/basic.out_lint index f4b15bac..51e1c790 100644 --- a/regress/roff/return/basic.out_lint +++ b/regress/roff/return/basic.out_lint @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ mandoc: basic.in:10:2: ERROR: ignoring request outside macro: return -mandoc: basic.in:18:32: ERROR: using macro argument outside macro: \$1 +mandoc: basic.in:18:28: ERROR: using macro argument outside macro: \$1 mandoc: basic.in:21:2: ERROR: ignoring request outside macro: return -- cgit
