According to http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Better_Diagnostics and http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ClangDiagnosticsComparison there should be a way to get caret diagnostics in gcc 4.8. I have just checked out and built gcc 20120314 (experimental) [trunk revision 185382], and I cannot seem to get the examples to work. When I try to use the -fdiagnostics-show-caret option listed in the better_diagnostics page, gcc informs me that the option is not recognized. Is there a way to troubleshoot this issue, or this by design?
