I work at Red Hat on GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. I spent most of the past year working on how GCC emits diagnostics (errors and warnings) in the hope of making it easier to use. Let's take a look at 6 improvements to look forward to in the upcoming GCC 15. 1. Prettier execution paths I added a static analyzer to GCC in GCC 10 that prints visualizations of predicted paths of execution through the user's code, demonstrating each problem it predicts. Here's an example that shows some of th

A big albeit late feature landed today for the upcoming GCC 15 compiler... The COBOL programming language front-end has been merged!The GNU Compiler Collection in recent months has seen a resurgence in activity around COBOL language support . The 134k+ lines of code adding a COBOL front-end for GCC is an unexpected surprise to see merged now in the year 2025. COBOL isn't as popular as it once was especially during an era in which Rust is taking much of the spotlight, but at least it's more pract
