In the discussion of PR 29689, the following came up, and seems like a reasonable request:

I guess I'm pushing my luck with current feelings, but would it be possible to add the column number? [Previously I wrote: The original error message you posted had column number information in the error output too: gfortran hello.F In file hello.F:3 write(*,) 'Hello!' 1 Error: Syntax error in WRITE statement at (1) it would be nice to be able to use this too. I think gcc outputs kind of information as something like: hello.c:3:13: error: blah, blah, blah... Emacs can then place the cursor in the relevant column when visiting an error (and Vim probably does something similar too).] -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob -- Summary: RFE: Column number in error messages.
