Are the newer compilers truly that much better? I've been working in tech since the 90's, and I can't say that for the tools I've used I've noticed any great improvement in overall quality- bugs get swatted, new ones created in what feels like a constant measure. I am assuming that many optimizations are turned off regardless, due to wanting to keep the resulting assembly as predictable as possible, but I do not work in the embedded space, so this is perhaps a naive question.
