--- Comment #7 from David Malcolm <dmalcolm at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The patch kit I proposed here: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-09/msg01744.html and adds a fix-it hint and improves the location, making the successor token be a secondary location within the diagnostic: t.c: In function ‘foo’: t.c:4:8: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token bar() ^ ; t.c:7:1: } ~ It doesn't change the wording though.
