For me, the most infuriating part of C++ is the error reporting. Even for trivial programs, I have to do make 2>&1 |less and then /error just to get to the first of 15 errors mixed in with 35 warnings that span 3 pages, all from one typo.
C++ has come a long way since the 90s, but it's still an incredibly clunky and obtuse language, with 10x more ways to do it wrong than right.
- jcelerier 8y agoIf you use an IDE you just click on the lines in your error log which brings you to where the problem is. Though nowadays IDEs such as QtCreator use clang to analyse your code in real-time and so you see the errors appear as in-line hints as you type.
