- might help with what? If it is a compiler bug - so what?oh whatever– oh whatever2011-09-26 08:04:31 +00:00Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 8:04
- 2@littleadv, if it is a compiler bug, you can either try to fix it (or just report it properly, in full detail), or you can find out how to avoid it in future, if you're doomed to keep using this version of your compiler for a while. If it's something with your own code, one of the numerous C++-ish borderline issues, this kind of scrutiny also helps in fixing a bug and avoiding its kind in future.SK-logic– SK-logic2011-09-26 08:07:00 +00:00Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 8:07
- So as I said in my answer - other than reporting, there's no much difference in treatment, regardless of whose fault it is.oh whatever– oh whatever2011-09-26 08:09:08 +00:00Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 8:09
- 3@littleadv, without understanding the nature of a problem you're likely to face it again and again. And there is often a possibility to fix a compiler on your own. And, yes, it is not "unlikely" at all to find a bug in a C++ compiler, unfortunately.SK-logic– SK-logic2011-09-26 08:12:23 +00:00Commented Sep 26, 2011 at 8:12

How to Edit

- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
