Hi, This option present in documentation: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Language-Independent-Options.html But lets check with rather new GCC 4.6.2: > gcc --version gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.6.2 Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. > gcc -c test.c -fno-diagnostics-show-caret cc1: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-fno-diagnostics-show-caret’ test.c is just int main(void) { return 0; } nothing else. What is current status with its support? Is it gone? --- With best regards, Konstantin
