            Bug ID: 65119
           Summary: -fmessage-length= counts control characters when
                    wrapping the caret line
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: manu at gcc dot gnu.org

struct {
  int y;
} x;
#define FOO                                                                    
                                                              x*x
void foo()
{
  FOO;
}


~/test1/220306M/build/gcc/cc1 test.c -fmessage-length=10
-fdiagnostics-color=always
foo
test.c: In
   function

   ‘foo’
:
test.c:4:144: error: invalid
   operands
   to 
   binary 
   * 
   (have 
   ‘struct

   <anonymous>’
    and 
   ‘struct

   <anonymous>’
   )
       x*x



^
test.c:7:3: note: in
   expansion
   of 
   macro 
   ‘FOO’
   FOO;


  ^

The reason is that pp_string()
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/gcc/diagnostic.c#L384 counts
control characters (such as the color codes) when deciding whether to wrap
around, however those characters are not normally visible thus they produce a
strange effect. In general, the whole pretty-printer wrapping is oblivious to
the color codes, which is likely to produce excessive wrapping when using
-fmessage-length=.
