Can't you override the diagnostic_starter() in your plugin? This way you can even customize it to print "gdb" in the prefix (if you wish to provide a custom prefix). If that is possible, that seems way cleaner. If not, I wonder why not. Otherwise, why not override the lang_hook itself? This way the plugin can provide its own lang_hook so that your proposed c_print_error_function lives in the plugin itself. I'm probably missing something obvious here. Cheers, Manuel.
