One of clang’s stated goals is “expressive diagnostics”

See https://clang.llvm.org/diagnostics.html ; that page is not dated, but compares to gcc 4.9, which is from April 22, 2014.

gcc also has worked on improving its error messages (most likely because of competition with clang), so that comparison probably isn’t accurate anymore.

The comment markup parser mistakenly understood the link to include the following semicolon, but you couldn’t clearly see it because the semicolon’s descender hid the underline.

Thanks; HN thought the semicolon was part of the URL. Added a space.
