next Tuesday, 50 leaders representing the business, technology, government, academia, arts and non-profit sectors arrive on Sir Richard Branson’s private island to spend three packed days discussing blockchain technology for the third annual Blockchain Summit....“We’re trying always to invite the biggest thinkers of this world and discuss how we can use this technology to really do good,” said Bitfury chief executive Valery Vavilov.

And elsewhere, 5000000 people around the world are trying to figure out how to use blockchain to do really evil things.

Actually, the title is a little misleading. I accidentally ran across something that will crash the compiler process which runs separately from the IDE. It's not that big a deal but it seems to be repeatable. This will happen when you put an invalid entry in the initialization list of a class constructor. For example :
class DerivedClass()
: BaseClass( defaultArg )
, m_ValidMember( 0 )
, m_InvalidMember( 0 ) {
}
As anyone else run across something like this or other ways to cause mayhem with VS17?

Just one? 
(yes, I know the title is misleading, but I couldn't resist.)

What, you expect MS to stop working on the next half-baked version to fix an old bug???
Since VS2010 they've stopped doing that, 13 is relatively stable (but has issues ms simply ignored because they were rushing out 15), 15 has even more issues ms simply ignores because they are already working on the next.
You can bet on the next version (VS2019?) still having that exact same problem.
Once upon a time ms [mostly] finished software before release, but since the new mgmt that is no longer the case - and that's across the entire product range. A bad habit they took from google.
Just be happy ms/google etc don't build planes or self driving cars and ... oh elephant

There's still more chance of it getting fixed if you report it to them than if you don't. If you don't report it to them, they might not know about the bug.

Dropped keys in car and had to stretch an contort to fish them out from under the seat, then, walking up the stirs with coffee, I took a bit of a misstep, lurching forward with associated mess. Meanwhile, just a bit later, Mrs. calls me on cell (flip phone) - which flipped out of my hands and into a nearby urinal. The phone model is discontinue ($20 LG B450) but can be had for $80. Aside from that, even if it starts to work again when it dries out, do I really want to put it up to my face?
So far, I've navigated the last hour safely, but the day is still young and there's the trip home.

So... based on the procedures where I work:
You should not be carrying liquids on the stair case; always maintain 3 points of contact.
When using the restroom, concentrate on what you're doing; a phone call or text can wait.

Have you been off the planet for a few years? If so, where did you go and how long did it take? I'm still looking for a ride.

A very peaceful is to be had when you take out your phone and leave it on the desk, not just going to the toilet but lunch / tea breaks too.
Young ones may not know this, but once upon a time this is how it was done ... not by choice, but by the limitations of technology ... and the world kept on spinning just fine without everyone being tethered to a stupid phone 24/7, in fact the world spun a lot smoother than now.
Any important calls (definition of important should be much it matters to you, not the caller), you can see the number(s) that came in ...
If the caller thinks it's urgent they will sure 1. call many times, 2. send a text or email, or 3 = 1 + 2.
Really who gives a elephant: phones are tools to help us, not chains to bind us. Often weekends I'll go out without the stupid thing at all.

Yes, that's right. I request immediate extraction.
Which part of 'immediate' did you not understand? The natives are already making a fire under the pot and discussing how to properly cook me!

I didn't drop my phone in the urinal... it can wait.
If my wife calls, it waits.

Probably not a good day to buy a lottery ticket. 
Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".

Talking on the phone (to the love of your life) in the men's room? How gauche!

🐘 Actually, hardly a dozen people in the world have my cell number - and most calls, especially while trying to work out vacation plans, are from the Mrs. She rarely calls 'for nothing' - and I don't accept or send texts.🐘

...and this is relevant to taking a phone call in the pisser how? 
|
|
|
|
|
Relevant because (1) I get few calls, and (2) I am expecting some particular business to be discussed, and (3) if she gets on the road I'll not be able to call back for a while, resulting in (4) her calling me back at what may have been an inopportune time.
This is part of the reason I even brought the phone with me, today, instead of leaving it to quietly drain its battery.

Alright, I cracked a smile, but you should feel fortunate. Unless your clumsiness is an indication of something, it could have been much worse. You didn't drop your keys into the storm drain next to your car and you dropped a $20 phone into a urinal, not a $1,000 phone into the toilet.
