--- Comment #1 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Perhaps the parser could insert the missing parenthesis and continue, but
touching the parser this way is always tricky. There are many much worse cases
of error-recovery. Compared with Clang, we don't do so bad here:

test.cc:4:9: error: expected ')'
  int aa;
        ^
test.cc:3:16: note: to match this '('
  c(int a) : aa(a {}
               ^

Given the amount of bugs needing attention, I think this will be very low in
the priority queue. But if you wish to take a look, the code is in
gcc/cp/parser.c.
