The principle makes sense (obviously the prototype patch would need further work for actual inclusion, e.g. escaping of < and > signs for the XML output), but I think in practice it's only useful if driven by cooperation from IDE people who will help establish what the XML should look like and commit to making an IDE use the XML output in future by default when using a GCC version that supports it. I imagine that the XML should have some way of marking continuation messages as such, should include the option (as from -fdiagnostics-show-option) in some structured way, and probably should give locations and inclusion context in an XML structured way as well rather than as plain text - but discussion would be needed with IDE people on what information GCC can give and how an IDE could use it. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19165
