I was having issues using ConText and the DMD compiler.  Usually, when reporting errors, DMD will return just the name of the source file (and sometimes a relative path).  Usually ConText is pretty good at finding the file.  However, I've been working with some code where the source files are in different sub-directories (main is in \blah, and module is in \blah\modules), and ConText is getting kind of confused as to where the files are.

So I wondered if I could make the compiler report errors using the full pathname of the source file.  I found it had the -op option, which doesn't strip the source file path.

I tried the -op option, and it still strips the path, returning a relative path to the source.

Does it work for anyone else?

Yes, it works. But not for file names that contain errors, -op affects .obj files location (or names). I don't understand how this flag works completely, but while my experiments I nodiced that if I'll use -od and -op flags whith files that contains ".." in relative path -od will be ignored. Maybe this is a bug, but I'm not sure. It would be nice to see slightly better description of -op.

Oh.  Bah.

Oh well, I'll just have to keep switchin folders in ConText, I guess.
