Bug ID: 89635 Summary: More ANSI SGR codes in diagnostics? Product: gcc Version: 9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: diagnostic Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: other Assignee: dmalcolm at redhat dot com Reporter: dmalcolm at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- In the discussion on my GCC 9 usability blog post, reddit user "evaned" said: > I wonder how plausible it is to cut out one of the lines in each > "block" and use ANSI escapes to underline the relevant part of code > instead of putting in the ~~~~~s on its own line? (in https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/ayp3gu/usability_improvements_in_gcc_9/ei2n8al/ ) I'm filing this bug to record that idea (possible GCC 10 material). I wonder if there are other SGR codes that are worth using? Maybe the strikethrough code for deletion fix-it hints?
