Displaying C++ compilation errors in the VS 2013 editor

c++, visual-studio, visual-studio-2013

Solution

Visual Studio 2013 doesn't have this option. I opened a feature request on the MS website.

Problem

I am using Visual Studio 2013 with the Productivity Power Tools extension installed. Can I set things up so that C++ compilation errors are marked in the editor (using squiggly underlines, scrollbar markers, etc.), in addition to being reported in the Error List? Currently, only IntelliSense errors are displayed in the editor. I have tried going to the "Scroll Bar" options and ensuring that "Show errors" is checked, but that didn't help anything.
