gcc c++ command line error-message parser

Question

Are there any programs for parsing and displaying in a nice format the c++ error messages generated by gcc.
I'm really looking for something like less that I can pipe my errors into that will collapse the template parameter lists by default, maybe with some nice highlighting so that my errors are actually readable.

(Yes, it's boost's fault I have such incomprehensible errors, in case you were wondering)

Answer 1

STL Error Decryptor (AKA STLFilt) can help decode them. I've had mixed results.

Answer 2

Both STLFilt and TextFilt format and filter complicated c++ error messages.

STLFilt has more features and seems to be better maintained.

TextFilt is more customizable.
