The modern version of "It must be a compiler bug!"

[genxy]

Compiler bugs are not as rare as they are quipped to be on forums. I mean, more rare for the quippers due to allocation of time.

[glimshe]

I've actually identified a real compiler bug that led to a compiler fix. But then, a broken clock is right twice a day :).

Using c++ templates wrong in the year 2000 exposed me to real compiler bugs in the Microsoft c++ compiler at the time, the kind that would make the compiler crash.

I thought it was cosmic rays which always cause the bitflip when you least expect it.

The modern version is "LLMs produce bad code"

[deltaburnt]

LLMs aren't nearly mature or deterministic enough to earn that distinction. I've had an agent tell me it read a link I gave it, when actually it lied. I don't see how you could possibly compare that to a compiler where thinking "maybe it's a compiler bug" means you've almost certainly missed something.
