------- Comment #9 from tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-01-22 16:12 ------- Some kind of machine-readable output is necessary for use by an IDE. Eclipse can't translate the messages after they have been emitted by GCC. So, it should run GCC in the user's locale. However, then it would like to differentiate between warnings and errors. There's no way to do that without knowing all the ways that GCC might translate the words "warning" and "error" (running in a locale Eclipse thinks it understands is not a good option because GCC may change its choices of translation...). It would be friendlier if GCC provided this information. XML, or anything machine-readable, would be fine. So, yes, this is a GCC bug.
