Machine readable rustc output

[Arcnor]

Hi,

I'm working on IDE integration (IntelliJ IDEA) for Rust, and it will be nice to have some kind of machine readable output when compiling with rustc, like the gdb/mi interface does for debugging.

Are there any plans to do something like this?

Maybe the best option will be integrating directly with rustcvia JNI, although I'm not sure if this is actually feasible, or if will give me any better output.

Also, it would be good to have an option to check the syntax only, or even provide autocomplete proposals.
