In over 30 years of progranmingprogramming, the number of genuine compiler (code generation) bugs I've found is still only ~ 10. The number of my own (and other people's) bugs I've found and fixed in the same period is probably > 10,000. My "rule of thumb" then is that the probability of any given bug being due to the compiler is < 0.001.
