Alternative Vim compiler support
Papaya is a simple plugin to streamline running the C compiler from within Vim.
I found the native Vim compiler support too cumbersome for my needs so I decided to create a basic script. I also wanted to take advantage of Vim's newly introduced virtual text support.
Papaya will use the value of your makeprg variable to run the compiler.
Alternatively, you can set the command using:
set g:papaya_make='command'
If there are compilation errors, Papaya will annotate the current buffer using virtual text (only works with Vim 9).
Papaya also populates the quick fix list.
To run Papaya, use:
:PapayaMake
To see the original compilation output, use:
:PapayaOutput
To clear virtual text annotations, use:
:PapayaClear
