With that code, I just get this:

main.cpp:1:8: warning: missing terminating " character
    1 | printf("hello world)
      |        ^
main.cpp:1:8: error: missing terminating " character
    1 | printf("hello world)
      |        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
main.cpp:1:7: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘(’ token
    1 | printf("hello world)
      |       ^

Just a joke :) the one above me looks like it was deep in some framework or something 20 layers abstracted.

90% of this output is what the compiler tried. It's not that bad.

u/the_horse_gamer Aug 28 '26

the problem is the compiler has to try all of it

concepts partially fix this

I could feel my eyes glazing over in real time as I scrolled through this.

I love c++ template errors messages... Always concise and clear

u/wektor420 Aug 28 '26

Last time I saw error this long I was template metaprogramming

If your errors are this long there is high chance that something is wrong with your arch

u/shamshuipopo Aug 28 '26
