compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist modifications

[Markus Gritsch]

Hi,

I like to report two problems with the default value of 
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist in compile.el:


* On some errors the compiler from Microsoft VisualStudio prints "fatal 
error" instead of just "error".  The entry for msft is too restrictive 
and should read

    (msft
     "^\\(\\(?:[a-zA-Z]:\\)?[^:(\t\n]+\\)(\\([0-9]+\\)) \
: \\(?:\\(fatal \\)?error\\|warnin\\(g\\)\\) C[0-9]+:" 1 2 nil (3))

instead of

    (msft
     "^\\(\\(?:[a-zA-Z]:\\)?[^:(\t\n]+\\)(\\([0-9]+\\)) \
: \\(?:error\\|warnin\\(g\\)\\) C[0-9]+:" 1 2 nil (3))

Something similar like the following line should be added to 
etc/compilation.txt:

e:\devel\ico\SearchComponent.hpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open 
include file: 'search/Component.hpp': No such file or directory


* I am using Emacs to edit Python source files on Windows, and the files 
have sometimes spaces in their names.  I am not sure how to modify the 
caml entry, which is also responsible for matching the Python 
tracebacks.  However, it should be modified so that the following 
example line matches:

  File "Test Exmple.py", line 11, in ?


Kind regards,
Markus
