Re: quickfix information

Hello,

I did not expect that many reactions. This is nice.
Thank you all for your interest in the matter.

Indeed, having "ancillary" data would be much more easier to use. Storing several variables in the w:quickfix_title wouldn't very practical. Actually, I want to export several buffer-local variables to the quickfix buffer. I use some of them to conceal part of the generated error messages, other like &l:tags are required to be able to jump on definition/declaration from identifiers found in the error messages, &l:makeprg will be needed in order to have :make compile the same thing, others variables (like project and compilation mode) will be displayed in the status(air)line, etc.

Moreover, I've experienced some odd behaviours regarding the w:quickfix_title -- as it's automatically set to things like "setqflist()".

[I can't really comment on the other internal ways of handling quickfix data]


Thus, I take notice so far that there is no neat way to store variables along with a quickfix list. An optional data field would do the trick. I guess it would be more expensive than what I need, but it would do the trick.

Thank you all anyway.

I'll try to override the meaning of "nr" field for my needs.
