Subject: Diagnostic format of warnings
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2020 11:51:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BYAPR04MB4775FA95044270BB46EA652EB6440@BYAPR04MB4775.namprd04.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have got a question regarding diagnostic output in GCC.

It seems that some diagnostic messages receive a color markup on my shell whereas others don't. For example, the word "warning" is purple for -Wfloat-equal whereas for -Winline it is not.

My guess is that some warnings happen before code generation (such as -Wfloat-equal) whereas other warnings happen after code generation (such as -Winline) and thus are treated differently.

I am wondering that is the intentional default on the GCC. It seems rather arbitrary to use such different formats for warnings.

Thanks & best regards,

Martin
