It's also the reason so many commercial and open source "linters" (static analyzers) and run-time analysis tools exist today (primarily, for use with C and C++ projects) - detecting undefined behavior, security issues. The unsafety of C and C++ have kept a lot of people busy for a lot of years. :-) I've definitely seen what you're describing though - hey this worked before I upgraded the tools, it must be a bug in the tools! It's almost never a bug in the tools. :-( -- digital man (rob) Rush quote #62: He's a restless young romantic, wants to run the big machine ..
