STLfilt does a pretty good job already.
It would be a GREAT use to the average gcc user if gcc only could mimic the
behaviour of STLfilt. I consider myself quite fluent with STL/templates but
even I have trouble to parse these long error messages. How much more trouble
is it to a novice user.
And even if the parsing fails in some situations; it's still worthwile in a
lot other situations.
In case it fails to parse the message or the user wants full control gcc could
provide a switch to turn it off, so she can look (again) to the lengthy full
error message.
Its just that I'd like to have gcc do the message parsing than having another
tool to wrap around gcc which may or may not work with different build
environments.
