this. Every time I see gcc reporting tens of k errors after discovering a
serious parser error for no good reason running out of every xterm scroll back
The -Wfatal-errors option will make gcc exit after the first error, instead of trying to recover and continue. I suppose this could be extended to take an argument, if you want to specify how many errors we emit before exiting.
