Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |manu at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #13 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-05-10 09:57:55 UTC --- I have come around on this issue (and the color output). I now think it would be useful to have an extra verbose mode. It is clear it won't be implemented by existing GCC devs and probably it won't be accepted in mainline GCC, so it will have to be a plugin. The first step is to have a significant number of verbose descriptions. I have started a list but it needs a lot more contributions: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/VerboseDiagnostics The second step would be to enable plugins to intercept warning/error messages and add their own actions (in this case, just printing the verbose output). Even if nobody bothers to finish this second step, the list itself would be helpful.
