GCC’s COBOL compiler now correctly handles unrecognized or unimplemented exception conditions (EC). It emits a warning when such an EC is encountered, and this warning can be suppressed by the Wno-unknown-ec pragma. This ensures that developers are alerted to potential issues with EC specifications while allowing them to silence the warnings if intended. The change involves modifications to diagnostic handling and error reporting functions.
