c++ - Improving g++ output

Question

g++ sometimes produces pretty convoluted outputs. Specially when dealing with templates. Is there any tool that makes g++ output more readable? ... at least some color?

It may sound silly to ask this question here, but I've been unable to google my way out of this.

Answer 1

GCC as of 4.9 has colourized output ?

Append the following to your bashrc/zshrc/whatever.

export GCC_COLORS='error=01;31:warning=01;35:note=01;36:caret=01;32:locus=01:quote=01'
