Search of ports shows 0 hits for g++

[Jeffrey Walton]

I'm a novice Macports user. A user claimed a program segfaulted when
using Macport's version of g++, so I'm trying to investigate the
issue.

I attempted to install g++, but it resulted in an error:

    $ sudo port install g++
    Password:
    Error: Port g++ not found

I attempted to search for the package name, but its returning 0
results: https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=g%2B%2B.

I know Macports has g++ somewhere, but I don't know where.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to alias g++ to the latest g++ package
so things just worked. Advanced users who know the package name are
still free to use their mastery of Macports to install different
versions.

Perhpas it would be a good idea if searching for g++ returned g++ packages.
