The GCC cobol front-end has been updated to enhance error checking and parser robustness. It now prevents invalid references to TYPEs and provides more informative diagnostic messages. Additionally, it defines the YYLOCATION_PRINT macro to properly handle user-defined cbl_loc_t location types, improving error reporting accuracy.
