BD Software STL Message Decryptor (STLFilt)

Introduction

STLFilt simplifies and/or reformats long-winded C++ error and warning messages, with a focus on STL-related diagnostics (and for MSVC 6, it fully eliminates C4786 warnings and their detritus). The result renders many of even the most cryptic diagnostics comprehensible.

Usage

Compute Systems Invocation Version(s)
Red Hat Linux (64-bit) % /util/bin/gfilt 3.10 (default)

Notes

  1. Compare differential outputs of code compiled by gcc vs. code compiled with the gfilt gcc wrapper: 

    
% gcc /util/gstlfilt/samples/testdeq.cpp

% gfilt /util/gstlfilt/samples/testdeq.cpp
