Yes, but do you do this? If not, it's easier to just set the errorformat for the current compiler.

It is possible. However, the FIRST match for the line in the errorformat is always used. So if your javac errorformat contains patterns that also match lines from clang, and they come before clang in your errorformat, then they will be used instead and could be wrong.

Probably at the very least, you'll need to interleave errorformats from the two compilers to prevent more generic patterns from one from overriding more specific patterns from the other. But in some cases you may not be able to reconcile the two.
