I have no idea whether it's true, but on the topic of gcc's inferiority in the matter of error messages, this source claims it's no longer true: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ClangDiagnosticsComparison

Of course, given the source, apply salt :-).

I dont know about C++, but for C Clang certainly feels like it has better error messages than the variant of GCC that the distro the Uni defaults to has, If nothing else, because of the colour.

Are the versions you're using up to date, however?
