Request to add file path highlighting in output window #50

Closed mingyEx closed 1 year ago

For the compilation error output of c++ projects, most of the time there are errors in files written by myself as a user of library code. However, the compilation error will be transmitted from the deepest library function error layer by layer, so I need to quickly scroll down the error file path, skip a series of library file paths, and then I can find the error in my file. Have you considered supporting features like the following, e.g. for code snippets:

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include\xutility(5777): message : see reference to function template instantiation '_FwdIt std::lower_bound<_FwdIt,_Ty,std::less<void>>(_FwdIt,const _FwdIt,const _Ty &,_Pr)' being compiled
1>        with
1>        [
1>            _FwdIt=std::_Vector_iterator<std::_Vector_val<std::_Simple_types<vi>>>,
1>            _Ty=int,
1>            _Pr=std::less<void>
1>        ]

Shows the file path section 1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include\xutility(5777): in a separate color.

It will be useful and I am very much looking forward to this feature.
