Description FeepingCreature 2020-01-17 10:44:07 UTC 
Error messages should be reported in GNU style on Linux. This will ease interoperability with existing IDEs.

The GNU style is specified at https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Errors.html . (It is not gcc specific; clang also follows it.)
