If you're referring to the "Precision in Wording" examples at
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Better_Diagnostics then those examples are
already fixed in GCC:

a.cc:2:12: error: expected ';' after class definition
   class a {}
            ^
a.cc:6:3: error: expected ';' after struct definition
   }
   ^

See http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ClangDiagnosticsComparison for some other
comparisons, but note that in many cases involving template argument
deduction GCC's output is already as good or better e.g.
