Back when I was using CodeWarrior to make a game for PlayStation 2, I found a compiler bug, but fortunately, it was one where it gave an error on valid code, rather than generating bad output. I can't remember the details, but I had some sort of equation that my co-workers agreed should have compiled with no problems. I was able to rewrite it a little to get the result I wanted without triggering any compiler errors.

Woa, CodeWarrior was one of the worst compilers (and IDEs) I had to use so far.
Mac developers who used CodeWarrior on its native platform from the PowerPC System 7 through Mac OS 9 era (so 1993-2001) generally consider it a fine compiler and the best IDE ever made.

I wonder what happened.
