Yes. This whole thread is about parsing in the editor.

I don't think so, no.

No, most certainly not;

That whole output snippet was on Linux.

Is that supposed to work? It doesn't for me, at least not for the headers from the system frameworks.

And as a side-note, gcc is most likely capable to find those headers too; it's always been at least. You basically only get compatibility issues with g++, not gcc, because OS X uses libc++ instead of libstdc++. So as long as you manage not to mix libraries that use both runtimes you should be fine. That's enough of a gamble to avoid g++, of course (certain system SDKs are written in C++ or possibly ObjC++).
