It is certainly a shame that modern compiler
writers have become
essentially hostile to programmers in their pursuit of ever more aggressive
optimizations based on rigid readings of the standard, common sense be
damned.
Not at all. It is clear that mainstream C and C++ compilers optimize for
the features most important to mainstream C and C++ programmers, which are:
1) Execution speed.
2) Execution speed.
3) I lied; there is no 3.
If those are not your priorities, use a non-mainstream compiler or a
different programming language.
