GCC has been innovating for a while with dmalcolm's -fanalyzer stuff.

SARIF is kinda nice for security-oriented linters imo, since lots of tools know how to speak it. It avoids lock-in that way, which is otherwise/previously pretty common, with every scanning tool using its own bespoke format.

So far it seems the best experience that we can kind of have is with VC++, because they use it on the errors section and you can kind of graphically navigate it, however the overall experience is still not out of this world.

If you want to know how bad it take your time with GCC 4.x before they responded to clang. GCC error messages used to be horrible for anything but the most trival errors. A single C++ template error could span multiple screens and still not tell you the location.
