FAKE: A nice tool for compiling programs/w MAKE and fixing errors

This shar file was sent to me, the author doesn't have a reliable way of
posting this himself, so I'm posting it for him as per his request. I
looked at this program briefly and it reminds me of a BSD utility "error"
but much more simplistic, making it easy to use. The manual page
explains the program and how to use it.
Essentially the program ("fake") [I would have called it emake for error/make,
but that's *my* opinion] searches out errors from a spawned of /bin/make
(changable with environment variables) and using a Regular Expression
searching pattern it inserts the compile time errors in a temporary file
intermixed at the line of error. You fix the error, and re-run fake.
[A suggestion from me is to set this in your .profile ... If you use "vi"]
FAKEMASK='^"\(.*\)", line \([0-9]*\):'
EDITOPTS='+/,,/'

| "fake" provides C "error-editing" capabilities similar to those found
|in other environments, such as MS-DOS Quick C or Turbo C. "fake" works
|exactly like make, except that if any errors occur you are immediately
|thrown into your favorite editor, with the error message intermixed at
|the appropriate place, just below the offending line. You can easily
|move from one error to another, always seeing the error message and the
|associated source line.

X If you've done any development work in MS-DOS, you may be aware of
Xthe nifty development environments available in Quick C or Turbo C.
XWhen running a compile, if any errors occur you are immediately thrown
Xinto the editor, with the error message displayed and the cursor on
Xthe offending line. Very nice. You can easily move from one error
Xto another, always seeing the error message and the associated source
Xline.
X "fake" provides similar capabilities.
X Now when you run make and get a ton of errors, you don't have to print
Xthem out or write them down in order to get into vi and fix them. "fake"
Xwill throw you into vi (or EMACS) with source code and error messages
Xintermixed. Simply locate each error, fix it, and get out of the editor.

X.TH FAKE 2.0 1
X.SH "NAME"
Xfake - "fix make" - execute a make and edit errors
X.SH "SYNOPSIS"
X.B fake
X[make options]
X.SH "RIGHTS & LIMITATIONS"
X.B fake
Xis distributed "as is". You assume the risk of any and
Xall damage or loss from use, or inability to use the software.
XThe author does not warrant that the functions of the software will
Xmeet your needs or that the software will be error-free or uninterrupted.
X.B fake
Xhas never been observed to destroy a source file, but I take no
Xresponsibility if it does.
X.SH "DESCRIPTION"
XHow many times does this happen: You run
X.BR make ,
Xget a ton of errors, and either have to print them out or write them down
Xso that you can get into vi and fix them. If you've had this problem,
X.B fake is your salvation.
X.PP
X.B fake
Xruns
X.B make
Xand accepts all make options. If errors occur,
X.B fake
Xcaptures the errors and creates a temporary file which contains
Xthe errors interspersed amongst the source code. The user is thrown into
Xan editor (default is vi). Each error message
Xwill appear just after the line that caused the error. The message is
Xprefixed with a comma-comma (",,"), a phrase which is easy to search for
Xand yet does not normally occur within a C program.
X.PP
XA snippet of what you might see in the editor if compilation errors are
Xfound:
X.PP
X.in +.25i
X.nf
X execvp (argv[0],argv);
X perror (p);
X,, -> "test.c", line 82: p undefined
X exit (1);
X.fi
X.in -.25i
X.PP
XBy repeatedly searching for
Xcomma-comma, you can visit each error message one by one, and repair
Xeach error. (Don't forget to delete the error messages themselves.)
XWhen you leave the editor, the temporary file is copied onto the original
Xsource file.
X.PP
XIf no changes are made to the temporary file, it is not copied back
Xonto the source file.
X.PP
XAn easy way (in vi) to get rid of all the error messages once the problems
Xhave been corrected is:
X.sp
X.ti +.5i
X:g/,,/d
X.PP
XFive environment variables (1 mandatory, 4 optional) are used by
X.BR fake :
X.PP
X.IP FAKEMASK 1i
X(required). This variable contains a regular expression that tells
X.B fake
Xhow to identify an error message and how to extract the file name and line
Xnumber. The regular expression must contain two pairs of parentheses --
X\e( and \e) -- the first surrounding the file name, the second the error
Xline number. For example, if a typical error message looks like this:
X.br
X.in +.5i
X"test.c", line 60: syntax error
X.in -.5i
X.br
Xthen FAKEMASK might be set like this:
X.br
X.in +.5i
X.nf
XFAKEMASK='^"\(.*\)", line \([0-9]*\):'
Xexport FAKEMASK
X.fi
X.in -.5i
X.IP FAKEMARKER 1i
X(optional). Specifies the characters to prepend to the beginning of error
Xmessages, to facilitate searching through the source for the errors.
XIf undefined, comma-comma is used.
X.IP MAKE 1i
XThis is the program run underneath
X.B fake
X-- default is /bin/make.
X.IP EDITOR 1i
X(optional) is the editor to load if errors are detected. Default is vi.
X.IP EDITOPTS 1i
X(optional) specifies an option to be fed to the editor when loaded.
XIf vi is used, specifying EDITOPTS=+/,, will cause the cursor to be
Xpositioned automatically on the first error.
