I think this would be very useful.
 
What I envision is for CDT to eventually be able to catch *all* compiler
errors - including tricky template-related ones - and show them as
red underlines. I know CDT is still far from this stage, but it has been
getting closer with each release.
 
We have accomplished this for Java - why not aim for the same for C++?
