[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Compiler error regular expression does match user defined expression and default (#2817)

[torsten-rupp]

The problem is with "more lines" is that the menu function "Next error" does not work as expected. It does not show the next error, but just the next warning or some other line which look like <filename>:<number>. How about to be able to click any line and just handling lines matching the expression as lines which can be found by "Next error"?

In the documentation it is written:
---
error_regex

    This is a Perl-compatible regular expression (PCRE) to parse a filename (absolute or relative) and line number from the build output. If undefined, Geany will fall back to its default error message parsing.
---

This is at least missleading. Geany does not fall back, it always use the default error message parsing if the user defined regular expression does not match.
