Little python helpers for parsing through Xilinx build outputs.

### Install

This is pure python, no dependancies. Only tested on linux (debian wheezy).

Using pypi:

pip install xmsgs-tools

Or, locally,

python setup.py install

### Usage

Do ``xmsgsprint -h`` or ``xmsgsdiff -h`` for usage. Examples:

bnewbold@ent$ xmsgsprint test/run_a/xst.xmsgs -t severe -f

### Example Raw .xmsgs

<msg type="warning" file="Xst" num="37" delta="new" >Detected unknown constraint/property &quot;<arg fmt="%s" index="1">x_interface_info</arg>&quot;. This constraint/property is not supported by the current software release and will be ignored.
</msg>

<msg type="info" file="Xst" num="3210" delta="new" >&quot;<arg fmt="%s" index="1">/home/bnewbold/leaf/twl/dds/hdl/block_design/ip/block_design_axi_gpio_0_0/synth/block_design_axi_gpio_0_0.vhd</arg>&quot; line <arg fmt="%s" index="2">167</arg>: Output port &lt;<arg fmt="%s" index="3">gpio_io_o</arg>&gt; of the instance &lt;<arg fmt="%s" index="4">U0</arg>&gt; is unconnected or connected to loadless signal.
</msg>

### Notes

'fulltext' is not a unique identifier; many warning texts are repeated

See also, XReport GUI tool.

### TODO

- Are message numbers unique across tools? If not, need more sophisticated filtering.
- Collapse redundant warnings (eg, every bit on on the same port)
