I've opened a bugzilla PR for this bug: PR 29689 (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29689). If someone wants to propose a complete patch (against subversion mainline) that works, regression-tests fine, please send it and it will be reviewed like any other patch. If anyone, not willing to write a patch, has ideas on what exactly the change should be, please add them to the PR . Please include examples of how the error messages would then look like, including simple cases and more tricky ones (multi-loci, included files, etc.). Having (a) convincing proposal(s) for the change is more than half the work, and will probably help a wandering developer to implement it. Finally, if you want to add to the list of "tricky cases we have to make sure behave right after the change", please add a comment in the PR. PS: One thing that I would like to note, however: changing the format of error messages is not something we can do out of the blue. Some tools already handle the gfortran error messages, so we probably don't want to make life too hard for them. This implies, in my humble opinion, that this bans a change of format for already realeased branches. FX
