Because the documentation for -fmessage-length says: Try to format error messages so that they fit on lines of about N characters. If N is zero, then no line-wrapping is done; each error message appears on a single line. This is the default for all front ends. So with a non-zero message length, multi-line messages are allowed. At least that was my understanding of the option. Thanks for the patch review. I will get onto fixing the points you raised today. Cheers Nick
