Compilers aren't as good at doing that one unfortunately.
It's up to the author to show us this mythical compiler.
It's a lot more than a compiler.
That's fair, I'm not really a compiler person but what you said makes sense
yeah this is like saying it must be a compiler bug
Me too. My compilers don't do that.
What about "the compiler did that" ?
