How to make vim to show errors in a new buffer?

I am using vim for competitive programming and I am using this shell script to compile my c++ files.

g++ -static -DLOCAL -lm -s -x c++ -Wall -Wextra -O2 -std=c++17 -o $1 $1.cpp

When I use this script I get all the errors and warnings in the terminal and when I press ENTER everything is gone. Is there a way to modify this script to display errors and warnings in a separate buffer in vim without going to terminal or is there anything that I should add in my .vimrc file ??

I want my vim to show errors like this one below.

I fixed the problem by doing this

nnoremap <F9> :wa <bar> :compiler gcc <bar> :silent! make %:r <CR> :cw <CR>

But I don't know how to highlight errors of quickfix list.

There are many ways of doing it. The best way, IMHO, would be to use the compiler plugins. Please read :help compiler. After that please read :help make. Here is an example from my .vimrc:

nnoremap <F6> :wa <bar> :compiler cargo <bar> :make build <CR>

The example is for Rust. In your case it would be like this

nnoremap <F6> :wa <bar> :compiler gcc <bar> :make<CR>
