What does “throwing errors” mean here? At first I thought you meant throwing 
exceptions — that Xcode would crash or display some fatal-error alert — but 
from what’s below I don’t think that’s it.

So you’re talking about compile errors. It would help if you posted an example.

Actually it sounds more like a problem with the search paths in your project 
configuration.

Seriously, I use Xcode a lot, building Obj-C, C and C++, and only extremely 
rarely do I run into any actual compiler bugs. Maybe one a year or so. (Swift 
is a different matter, but that’s kind of to be expected given how new it is.) 
Build errors, yeah, a lot, but they almost always turn out to be something 
wrong in the build settings.
