GCC error formatter

Overview

• Uses the -fdiagnostics-format=json flag
• Works with Make et al. as long as the only [{ JSON objects }] in the output are GCC's

Usage

As import

from gccf import format_gcc_output
command = 'g++ -Wall -Wextra -fdiagnostics-format=json test2.cpp'
format_gcc_output (command)

As replacement command for gcc

Make sure that the shebang path at the top of the script points to your python's location.

$ cp gccf.py ~/.local/bin/gcf
$ gcf -Wall -Wextra -o my_app main.c

Personalize the colors at the top of gccf.py.
