Some things to keep in mind:

1) How do you keep track of line / col?  My pet hates about C
   preprocessing, trigraphs and escaped newlines, make it awkward.
   This problem also exists when doing it a line at a time like I
   suggested.
2) You can easily get diagnostics for line 1000 before line 10 in
   a file.  e.g. our escaped newline at end of file, missing
   newline at EOF, -Wtrigraph, space between '\' and newline
   warnings.  It's nice to have warnings appear in order.
3) Doing a file at a time can consume more memory and trash more
   CPU cache.

But then, it does have the advantage of simplicity.
