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.
