Codemap for Preprocessed File

This is an extension for the very useful crate codespan_reporting to deal with preprocessed file through the well-knownm4 or cpp.

Using such a preprocessor allows, among a lost of things, the inclusion of many files which are identified in the bytes sequence with preprecessor directive as:

 #line 42 "/my/preprocessed/file"

This directive breaks the location of the source and so should be correctly processed to make correct location for error reporting.

This is the purpose of this crate: taking a preprocessor output and managing the different underlying locations inside it.

Example

 use codespan_preprocessed::reporting::Diagnostic;
 use codespan_preprocessed::PreprocessedFile;

    let contents = PreprocessedFile::new(
        unindent::unindent(
            r#"
                #line 1 "top_file"
                a first statement;
                another one

                #line 1 "included_file"
                continue...

                #line 5
                another line
                the last one
            "#,
        ),
    );

    // build a diagnostic for reporting
    let diagnostic = Diagnostic::note()
        .with_message("this is just an example")
        .with_primary_label(113..117, "do you see that ?")
        .with_secondary_label(21..26, "is it related to this ?");

Reporting a diagnostic

The first way to make reporting is based of codespan_reporting (see documentation for more details).

 use codespan_reporting::term;
 use codespan_reporting::term::termcolor::{ColorChoice, StandardStream};

 let writer = StandardStream::stderr(ColorChoice::Always);
 let config = codespan_reporting::term::Config::default();
 term::emit(&mut writer.lock(), &config, &contents, &diagnostic.to_diagnostic(&contents));

Easy reporting (alternative)

This crate provides an easier way to report diagnostic based on preprocessed file.

use codespan_preprocessed::reporting::{Diagnostic,EasyReport,EasyReporting};

let report = EasyReporting::new(&contents);
report.emit(diagnostic);

Output

The both previous codes will produce:

note: this is just an example
  ┌─ included_file:6:5
  │
6 │ the last one
  │     ^^^^ do you see that ?
  │
  ┌─ top_file:1:3
  │
1 │ a first statement;
  │   ----- is it related to this ?
