test.c:4: error: overflow in enumeration values
It would be difficult to make the front-end track also the column
number where it encountered (estimated) the error?
This will make error messages a bit more clear (and in the line
of thos in gcc), especially for long code lines (where you could
have, for example, several instructions on the line).
At the beginning, until the feature is really implemented, the
front-end could always provide "column=1", ie stick with current
approach.
But this will help the gdc/ldc-implementations to be in line with
the messages provided by gcc and clang.
