Matching multiline problems does not work for problems with more than 2 lines

[bojomojo]

• VSCode Version: 1.48
• OS Version: Mac OS Catalina

My task outputs something like this:

../../file/path/name.c(450:12) : error: (error line 1)
error line 2
error line 3
error line 4
error line with a different pattern

there could be more lines in between. Can we accumulate patterns?

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

[bojomojo]

to be clear..
the best case would be to have all error lines in the error. The ok case is to be able to decide which line to have

not sure what you mean by accumulating, can you please explain in detail about your use case.

[bojomojo]

It means To have one problemmatcher matching
Problem 1 line 1
Problem 1 line 2

And
Problem 3 line 1
Problem 3 line 2
Problem 3 line 3

@alexr00 Assigning to you as it seems related to problem matcher.

This would be accomplished using programmatic problem matching: #59337
