Any mechanism to make STL compilation errors more readable?
ccal...@gmail.com
Apologies if this has been asked and answered before. I tried
searching for it but could not find a good answer.
Is there any mechanism (like an external script or anything really)
that would parse out the giant compilation errors printed out (mostly
related to STL) and emit out a bit more readable information. For
example, when I get a compilation error about a vector<string>, most
of the times I do not really need to know about so many details about
strings.
I know purists will disagree :-) and I completely agree that one
should write code that just compiles :-), but then I am a human being
and these 10 page long errors are really killing me.
Please do reply if you know.

In fact, there is an excellent error message filter designed
specifically for that purpose here:

It is compatible with most common compilers and IDE's.
