errof

errorf is a C library for creating gcc style error and warning messages.

Usage

To generate gcc style error messages you can simply call print_error_header() with a valid file name, line and column number, reason, and supplementary message:

#include "errorf.h"
print_error_header("file.c", 10, 11, "invalid syntax",
                   "a variable name cannot contain an underscore");

This would generate the following error message in the terminal:

file.c:10:11: error: invalid syntax: a variable name cannot contain an underscore
this is an example of a line containing a syntax error in column 11;
           ^~~~~~~
