It sounds to me like what you really want is support for a red squiggly

Not quite, because red squiggly lines don't catch weird C++ namespacing
rules, lack of conversion operators that should be present, etc...
They can if they are produced by running (the front-end of) a compiler
on the source files in question and parsing its output.
Yes, indeed. I think all we need for that to become reality is bug
904572. With that, we'd be able to use tools such as clang-check:
<http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HowToSetupToolingForLLVM.html#using-clang-tools>
That being said, these tools typically work well on a per-file basis, so
the workflow may be a bit clunky when you're editing a header and don't
know exactly which .cpp files it might affect. So, even with this, bz's
use case will not be completely satisfied, AFAICT.
