newbies are very quick to blame the compiler.
Yes newbies would be more prone to write "clever code". Something on the lines of "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing ..." I am assuming that wiser heads would be available to review code before blaming the compiler. As you say compiler bugs do exist Neil Kurzman said:
Modifying the compiler output to fix a bug to me would be the final act of desperation. Making the same fix after each compile. Documenting it to be sure you can still do it next year. Or the next guy can do it. Could not agree with you more. |
