I request gcc to have the feature of incremental compiling:
Gcc should have an option to compile source by reading line-for-line
rather than buffering the whole file.
This would allow you to essentially cat | gcc - and watch
errors/warnings come up as you type in code.
The advantage of this feature would be amazing for IDE's, they could
offer realtime hilighting of error/warning lines in code.
