Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful.

My programs are not allowed to crash because of a bug in the compiler that created them. This statement is false. Voting for more-than-one vs Poundstone's Book pg--az11-Oct-09 21:49 pg--az 11-Oct-09 21:49  I wanted to vote for more than one, which reminded me of the interview I listened to, although I did not buy the book, the interview was very interesting by itself.

Drescher 11-Oct-09 18:59  I would use gcc since I believe that it is by far the best compiler however (even though it is buggy) Visual Studio is the best development environment.

It is probably the best when it comes to the number of platforms it is ported to, but it is not the best in categories such as optimization, speed of compilation and standard compliance. utf8-cpp Re: None of the above.

Drescher 14-Oct-09 5:17  On top of the unparalleled CPU support, I consider it a better optimizer than Microsoft compilers which tend to take several years and a product update to add support for new cpu instructions. And also since we have more than 50% of our machines being 64 bit AMD x86 machines the Intel Optimizing compiler is not a good choice being that I have seen far too many complaints that this not only does not optimize for AMD it actually makes things slower by not using SSE2 ...
