A comment on “It is never a compiler error”. Parent comment

I think I had only a single compiler error in my entire career that wasn't about robustness (ex: code crashing the compiler instead of producing an error). Updating the compiler fixed it.

I'd rank the likelihood of an error like this :

- My fault

- API bug

- broken environment (ex: corrupted object files)

- hardware problem

- OS bug

- compiler bug

- bug in malloc()/free() ;)
