Hello, I really like the colored error message output in the clang C compiler, I feel that it really helps the readability of the errors and warnings. I would like the same colorful error messages in Vala, so I wrote a patch that adds this to valac (based on the current git master). To see what I am talking about see this image: http://i.imgur.com/HXTlJ.png The patched version is on the left of course. However, my patch is only half complete. The colored output works, as the screenshot shows, but there is no fallback for terminals that do not support colors. I attempted to support this through curses, but instead I just caused valac to segfault. If someone could finish it that would be absolutely great. -Nate
