I know most people that want this use a wrapper around gcc (or have moved to clang), but the output of gcc is not designed to be machine readable, so I think there is a benefit on implementing this in GCC. Since gcc doesn't have caret or fix-it hints, my proposal is quite modest, just color the diagnostic markers: error: (bold red) warning: (magenta) note: (blue? green?) I would follow the very simple implementation used by grep. It will default to off of course, I don't plan to implement automatic detection of capabilities or anything like that. So before I waste my time, would such a thing be ever accepted in GCC?
