------- Comment #2 from hyperquantum at gmail dot com 2006-02-02 14:39 ------- IMO this is a useful feature because the number of lines of error output that GCC produces for a file is not (always) a correct measure for the amount of errors and warnings produced for that file. This is because GCC produces not only the error messages themselves, but also extra helpful output. And it is also nice to see in one fast look how many errors I still have to fix in my code.
