I am compiling a program with :make command, then I examine g++ errors using :cwindow. The problem is that the error produced by g++ is longer than 1000 characters and it is cut.
Currently I have to compile this program in separate xterm in order to see complete error message which has 2403 characters length.
As of 7.4.1802, Vim is supposed to quickfix lines up to 4096 bytes long instead of truncating them.
makeprgand pipe the output to a post processing script which gives better error messages for quick fix; b) instead of a separate xterm, I wonder if something like:!calling shell commands would make it easier to switch between vim and the error output.
