The reason for not using just the same format blindly is it was designed with the structure of gc in mind rather than a clean output format. Who knows, by delving into yacc perhaps more or even better error status can be extracted. Then we just need to convince russ/the go authors to include plan9's yacc as part of the go distribution, it wouldn't be unprecendented as go already includes 8c, 8l and friends. -Steve
