Is there any way to get readable gcc error and warning output at the command line?

For some long errors, the gcc output is dense and has lots of line-wrapping etc. Especially when errors are subtle, it can take me 10-30 seconds of squinting to parse it with my eyes.

I've taken to pasting this in an open code-editor window to get some basic syntax highlighting and enable reformatting with regex's.

Has anyone invented a more automated method?
