How did I not know this until now. Fantastic.

Or, if you want to save the output to a log file:

    g++ foo.cpp 2>&1 | tee ./log

or, the shorthand of 2>&1 |:

    g++ foo.cpp |& tee ./log

I like to do `g++ foo.cc |& tee /tmp/out` then you can `less /tmp/out`, grep the file, open it in an editor etc.
