I've always assumed that when people talk about the "caret approach" they are either talking figuratively, including the idea of "just print the column number"; or additively, meaning that the caret is a nicety that wouldn't replace printing the file name, line number, and column number. The reason I bring this up is that, afaics, emacs already understands "file:line:column" output, and Per already submitted a patch to have gcc generate this. So whatever work remains is presumably just in the front end(s). Tom
