This patch: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-11/msg00000.html is pending review and will allow two things: 1) Converting a lot of Fortran diagnostics to use the common diagnostics machinery. 2) More precise locations within strings: https://gcc.gnu.org/PR52952 (I have a semi-tested patch, but it needs more work). In addition, this patch: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-08/msg02723.html is waiting for feedback: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-09/msg02467.html As I said here: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-08/msg02700.html "Despite the heroic, constant torrent of diagnostic fixes by Paolo, Marek and others, I have not seen much progress on the key infrastructure issues in the roadmap (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Better_Diagnostics). We have had at least one major item per release since GCC 4.5, but I don't see any particular item being tackled for GCC 5.0." Having initial support for fix-it hints in GCC 5.0 would be nice. Future versions of, for example, Emacs, could already make use of the fix-it hints to automatically apply fixes, even if the number of hints we give in GCC 5.0 is very limited. Finally, there are patches from new contributors waiting for feedback: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-10/msg02662.html https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-10/msg01980.html Cheers, Manuel.
