Me: This is totally gonna work

Compiler: u tried

I always put redundant parentheses in formula like ((b - a) / 2) + a because I just don't trust the compiler.

uh oh i did something bad

I almost died crossing the street today.
I saw all the code i ever wrote pass before my eyes.

The ability to convince the compiler that there's no errors.

"Shhhhhh.. trust me, there's such things as a duoble. Now just tell me the build was successful"

Sometime I’m developing in Rust and I do something wrong.

Then I look at the terminal and it says...

“You did X, did you mean to do Y”

Then I do it and it works perfectly, and I’m like...

Why do I even have a job if the compiler is this good?

Programmer rule #1: Its your fault 99.9% of the time.

I had a dream last night...

Boss: Use PHP its the best language.
Me: PHP 8? I hear the new JIT Compiler
Boss: No PHP 3
Me: (wakes up screaming)

I just found out that my dad wrote the http library (that is still used today) for Comcast... And not just that. He wrote it in notepad on an old ass Windows machine without a compiler on a vacation. (It apparently worked first try)

Just asked some bloke at work if he's into computers, and he said yes.

I asked him what languages he likes.
He responds 'Linux'.

I now knew he was bullshitting, so I asked him what compiler he uses.

He said binary.

Can I rip his teeth out and make a twat-tooth necklace now?

Compiler: Done, 0 errors, 164 warnings,
Me: Perfect

Never look at your computer when it's compiling, it can sense you and it becomes more prone to errors.

#CompilerConspiracy

Python.

Compiler: "segmentation fau-"
Me: "sEgMeNtAtIoN fAuLt"

A dev only cares about the errors! No warning fucking matthers at all!

Ah, C++. Where the compiler optimisation is fucking you so hard that you don't need a girlfriend anymore 😒

No caption! Its itself explanatory 😂

Finding the bug. The usual flow:
"Omg! I think it's a bug in the compiler"
10 minutes later:
"OK, it surely is a bug in the runtime"
20 minutes later:
"I'm certain this is a bug in the core library"
2 hours later:
"Oh, it's a bug in my code. Again, as usual, I'm the idiot. Stupid world."

My teacher told me not to do a project. He said it was much too hard.

I did it.

2 months pass

And then i come to him with anothec project idea.

Same thing goes, nobody believes in me, but i still succeed.

in the aftermath, i was able to create an interpreter AND a compiler in about 1 year... 😁

Just read that Rusts compiler is written in Rust. How did they compile the first compiler?

I just had to update my BIOS while trying to update Windows while trying to update the Visual Studio Updater while trying to update Visual Studio while trying to update my C++ Compiler while trying to update the drivers for... my mouse. Mouse, of all things....

New guy:"There's a bug in the compiler"

When your code finally complies after trying to solve a tricky error

My look when my code compiles at first go.

*That's suspicious*

Photoshop,...

because why use an:

IDE / editor,
terminal,
SASS/LESS compiler,
package managers,
git,...

when you can make your website as a photo, slice it up and export to html. EASY PEAZY

The compiler doesn't concern itself with the opinion of the programmer 😂

Rude Compiler :/

It doesn't matter what language, framework or compiler you use. No language is best. No framework is complete. No compiler produces perfect code.

What matters is elegance of logic. Solving logic problems is all we do. We just use different tools.

Me all the time

When i lost in a competition with a super project against a person that did something that would take 5h of coding.

I codod a compiler, he made a sudoku solver

> Le me compiling an OS:

I love when compilers give good, clear feedback.

I wouldn't have written these many line in my entire project itself.. frigging compiler

Ok. Yesterday I finished building my compiler I have to say: it was a pretty darn big thing with 7000 Lines of code.

I did it alone and with almost no help.

I wanted to give some advice in case someone wants to program a compiler. I knaw its useless in times of lex and yacc, but anyway.

-have a good idea for the language
-learn about parser/lexer
-learn assembler
-do it like me: output the assembler to a file and let it assemble/link by the linux standart-tools (call the commands)
-Have fun. Fun is essential in coding

I hope I was able to help people who want to build a compiler alone... Yau can always ask questions ;~)
-

writing an assembler for my compiler, Manticore.

Currently working on writing a hand written parser and parse tree node system.

Or maybe I could build a C compiler and be responsible for ";" !
Making programmers cry and scream.

-Friend of mine telling me this nugget-

At my previous job, we were porting a UNIX system to Windows NT using Microsoft VC++. A colleague of mine, that was in the process of porting his portion of the code, came to me, looking really upset.

Colleague: "Hey! I hate these Microsoft guys! What a rotten compiler! It only accepts 16,384 local variables in a function!"

Compiler: Error
Me: Ok, what's wrong?
Compiler: Dunno
...

You know there's something wrong when you write 50+ lines of code and it compiles on the first go

-2000 : C# planned to copy entire Java and Java said C# won't be able to.
-2003 : C# copies Java and Java complained
-2005 : C# denied he didn't copy Java and Java laughed
-2008 : C# started to be more than Java and Java felt sick
-2010 : C# became more mature AND Java home defunct (Sun MicroSystems)
-2013 :Java plan to copy C# and C# laughed
-2015 :Java copied C# and C# laughed
-2017 :Java still can't copy C# and C# is laughing
-2018 no one will copy their neighbor and WE HOPE SO.

Just got an email accusing me of not implementing a feature that is quite clearly implemented.

It's not my fault if your too stupid to #include my header file. Did you just expect the compiler to magically find the functions for you.

Also thanks for raising this with my team lead and his boss.

May you spend eternity in a cold ditch coding java script on a 386 with a 28k modem you disgusting fuck nugget.

For my final project as a first year computer engineer, I have to implement a FAT32 file system using a bare metal c++ compiler that will need to work on arduino uno/due....

I've only been in the computer engineering space for 2 months.
Not sure I can do it, but I'm going to try my best!
Wish me luck

i have this friend who says he has already finished his python code, but it has to be compiled and he cant seem to find a compiler....

*** don't use compiler ***
Question in class today:
int n = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
n = n++;
System.out.println(n);
}

what will be printed?

I was working on windows before, had to do an assignment for a course.
And was stuck on....visual studio python compiler not working.
So I decided to do this.

Your rant must be between 6 and 5,000 characters. Is that enough?

Damn fuck it. I am making a program with
#include <windows.h>

Accessing the Win32 API in c is such a pain. Just made a simple window with 70 lines of c code. And I have to edit it in turbo c but run it in some other compiler. Our teacher is a .... uhhh
Hate projects.

Sorry if the rant doesn't make sense. I am too tired.

Any mobile device compiler....they take FOREVER

Turns out writing interpreters is just a gateway drug and all I want to do now is build a compiler and custom language runtime...

First dev job: port Unix on Transputer, a (now defunct) bizarre processor with no stack, no registers and no compiler. That was fun! And that was in 1991 😎

Just finished up my first compiler, with accurate extensible error reporting, and the syntax system is generically typed so I can reuse it. Pretty fucking pleased with myself

Programming is hard -especially when the compiler disagrees with itself.

Dear Santa, please bring me a compiler that generates compile errors instead of runtime bugs. Thanks.

A HTML... compiler? Wut?

Waiting for the compiler

Please actually pay attention to compiler warnings. They exist for a reason beyond just being a nuisance. If you're willingly ignoring warnings then you're accepting unnecessary risk into your project.

how to feel the power of total C ?
Well use C++ compiler and add all C libraries to it so it will have classes but you can use C stuff.
P.S= Yeah not ideal but im C programmer and creating game so i have to do it like this because when i tried it without classes it was terrible.
And if anybody ask why not to just use C++ for that well simple answer i hate C++ and love C.

Yeet I just made a brainfuck compiler with python

The myth about the missing semicolon. I don't get it, if your editor doesn't pick it up, the compiler og interpreter will. How is this a common problem?

1 little bug in the code
1 little bug in the code

put a little ; in now
compile it around

991 little BUGS IN THE CODE

// sometimes I feel my compiler ignores all my comments :(

I fucking nailed my c exam.
Had to write C on paper today. Fuck my uni for that. But I think I aced it. I coded C for weeks and hopefully finally payed off.
Fuck coding on paper though. They are just too lazy to make something digital. But man at least let me get some compiler messages. It's not like anyone codes without compiler messages anymore.

I can actually write my own, simple code, I'm not very flexible but I actually get JS now.

Love you my dear...

You know you're fucked up when internal compiler is error. . .

bool DDD = true;
if (DDD == true && DDD == false) {
//some code
}
//when I will have an option to be a compiler i will don't allow to compile that

Current mood;
Screw the language, fuck the compiler, piece of shit keeps throwing errors.

Oh wait I forgot to set a variable. That was easy

More errors?? FUCK ALL THE SHIT OVER AGAI- oh wait actually if I just do... SCREW IT ALL YOU CUNT CODE,, no no I didn't mean that dear. Don't give me more errors please. OH FUCK YOU.

I guess I could say back to the old LOGO turtle days, but it wasn't until university that I began using the good turbo c compiler and it's DOS platform

You know it's been a hard day when the compiler finishes without errors and you assume it malfunctioned.

Me: It finally works!...
Compiler: lol jk

Do compiler engineers compile compilers? 🤔

When you debug for 2 hours. Due to a logic error. You go through every line. It all makes sense. You find a semicolon after an if statement... Shouldn't the compiler have caught that?

- finish compiler
- get into gamedev
- learn Android dev
- finish framework (or at least make reasonable progress)
- create scripting language

We'll see what else comes to my mind during the year

Day 2 in ComSci class (following my last rant)
"Okay, so! All of the schoolwork and homework will be done on paper and pen, submit and I will grade it. Only once, no second chance"

Okay. Okay. This went over my head. What are you gonna do? OCR the code into the compiler, compile it and run to see if we fucked up to give us an F? What are you, god? Here's a brilliant idea, teach them Assembly! Guaranteed error to give us Fs! FUCK YOU

That moment when you unconsciously hold your breath the moment the compiler starts running.
Is this common among developers?

How did they compile the first compiler? 😰

FUCK ARDUINO IDE!!!
Had a project with it (~ 1k lines).
Made some small changes to it and presented it.
The fucking thing just hung at a specific animation and I couldn't tell why!!

Turned out the compiler on my laptop fucked up pretty hard with one specific condition:
for(int i = 0; i < repeat; i++) { ... }

Turned out the fuckwit of compiler just kept compiling the "i < repeat"-statement to be always 1/true and thus turning this for-loop into an endless-loop.
Tried it before to debug and got the same result!!!
Compiling the same code on another pc worked fine.
The compiler just can't compile properly. Be aware of it when you encounter a problem on Arduino but can't figure out the cause.

wow... no kidding.... so C++ is like a language without a compiler holding ur hands and catching u when u screw up...

I love how people miss the location of ";" when most of the time the compiler error tells you the exact line...

“Someone is eventually going to build a JavaScript compiler that output machine code, which will lead to an apocalypse and the death of everything you know and love when all JS code mysteriously stops working in the year 2048.

You need to stop that person from being born. I'm forwarding the details now.

Good luck,
-- Future you”

You know what sucks? Being forced by your teacher to use his crappy e-learning platform which isn't even close to final and therefore completely buggy. Oh you clicked in that compiler window? Nah now you can't click back in the editor window, better save and reload the page again. And thats only the beginning...

So legitimately accidentally started building a compiler... Don't ask how because I don't know...

(No it's not a 'true' compiler that will create executables, it just a compiler to make some data easier for my runtime to read it)

That moment when you make a typo that you didn't see for a long time and than the compiler breaks

My favorite paradox:

What came first, the compiler or the source code?

FUCKING AVAST!!!!!! It's now saying my apps and the compiler are viruses..........

Not quite a interview question, but in a competition (I had build a compiler) the jury (they all told me they had all studied informatics) asked me what a compiler is... Not in a "lets try to catch him off manner" but rather in a "i am too stupid for this world manner" he asked me what a compiler was... And it got even worse: my compiler is based on linuxes utils (nasm+ld) the guy didnt know about linux. Assembler was much too much for him and when my compiler threw an error (I wanted to show them the error system) he told me I shouldnt present unfinished projects... Atleastthe other two were really nice and i still got 2nd place (behind a person who prorammed an Nxt thingy)

With the brand new Microsoft C++ compiler, what you see in the debugger, is not always what you get...

// sometimes I believe compiler ignores all my comments

Dear compiler, I know you have plenty of files to compile (like a lot), but could please stop flushing an error when I'm trying to read it ?

A project in my friend's resume

My best dev-memories of 2016??

First in february I won a competition (Jugend - Forscht) in which i had programmed an interpreter. And then, the first time my selfmade compiler actually printed hello world...

"Compiler found 1 error"

> changes ' to "

"Compiler found 235 errors"

Me: WTF?!

Fuck wireless keyboards, way too often now have I gotten compiler errors because it decided to take a dump on the connection and just skip a few keystrokes... And for some reason it just completely stops at times when doing 100+ keystrokes per second.

Best of all is that we're not allowed to use our own keyboard because "it would break the consistency the workplaces have"

I my compiler (GCC) just seg. faulted, what the fuck do I do now?

Sometimes i wonder what it feels like to be a compiler

Lets learn bubble sort!
Type the following code to Visual C++ 1998 and compile it. Then run it. Write the output to the paper i just gave it to you.

Reality:
• Takes 5 mins to compile and run
• Too many errors in the given code so obscure output
• Teacher thinks we are so smart that we can understand c by typing and looking at the output.

The worst part:
• Different output per compiler
- Correctly compiles in the compiler in VC++ 98.
- Differs in GNU GCC, compiles wrong
- sends out obscure dummy output in VS2015~2017
- Works well in tutorialspoint.com compiler

WTF is this, guys?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Oh, and i have gone off topic...
Why does he think we are smart that we can understand bubble sort, and 4 more by only typing the code and looking at the output without knowing how does this algo work?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Answer to weekly question.
The teacher said to understand sorting algos by typing the code and looking at the output which differs per compiler.

Java teacher writes code on blackboard in comp lab

He tells us to try it out at our workstations.

We do. The code does work. We tell him.

He says: "There is something wrong with your compiler..."

Question is...we were around 30 students. Can all our compilers not work if we had used the lab before and the code we run worked clean??!?!?!?

We were flabbergasted

Bug I had to fix today: some elements in our React app were being swapped with other elements.

We had `<foo>bar</foo>` on the component but on the html `foo` was being swapped with some other element in our app. It's contents ("bar" in the example) were being left in place, though, so we were getting `<baz>bar</baz>`.

This would only happen when running on production mode. On development everything was fine.

Also, everything seemed fine on the React dev tools. `foo` was where it was supposed to be, but on the html it was somewhere else.

Weirdest shit I ever saw when using React. I found a way to go around it and applied that fix, but I'm still trying to track this down to the source.

The worst part was waiting for fucking webpack to finish the production bundle on every fucking change I wanted to test. I didn't miss the change-save-compile-test flow at all.

What a shit day.

Working on a compiler which Convert JavaScript Code to Purescript Code Which Complie back to JavaScript.

I don't understand this decision of my Manager

what was first compiler or programming language ?
language ? well I don't think because they can't do it without compiler.
compiler ? how can they programme compiler without language

When your new build is compiling and just scooting right along so you think... sure, I could go for some food. No. Nope. Not even. It chooses the exact moment you leave to nope the fuck out completely with the most random compiler errors that you would have never seen had you just been sitting there in the chair. It's like it knows. Maybe next time I leave I'll promise to bring it back a taco.

Coworker: I did not progress much but at least I managed to get rid of all compiler warnings.
Me: That's okay. What were they about?
Coworker: No idea.
Me: How did you get rid of them then??
Coworker: I removed the "Wall" option when I use gcc.

does golangs compiler count as an expert?

My physics teacher would call it a sin. Technically enough for wk81 xD

Yeah, i coded an entire NN on paper while physics lesson. Worked pretty well. Except it doesnt work yet :/ Compiler errors because of some referenncing issues

Here's a short cliché marriage scenario.

He: I think you’re my compiler. My life wouldn’t start without you.
She:

Fuck this shitty C ecosystem! Multible compilers, one standard complying, one hacked toghether? Only one GPL poisoned standart library, with no real chance of switching it, which prevents me of making staticly linked programs? And then there is microsofts compiler, with fucking ANSI support. Thanks. No dependency handling. Concurrency? pthreads. Are you fucking kidding. JSON? Have fun finding something static. Compile times where you can read entire books. Segfaults without one helpful info, so you have to debug with prints. And every library, every tool, installer, compiler, stdlib, anything is poisoned by GPL. But hey, its fast. And efficient. After you spend many slow and inefficient months developing something. I am so done with this shit.
Well.

Tommorow i will continue working with C on my backup project.

Did i mention that the stdlib has no features? Not even threading? Which is IN THE STANDARD?

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

WHERE YOU HAVE TO EDIT THE COMPILER TO FIX ERRORS

Made by @cozyplanes. All rights reserved.

When you're in a rush to write a new feature but your compiler keeps nagging about not handling exceptions

Fuck my life!!! Fuck it right hard!!! My fucking compiler (the one I code) fucking broke down, and i have to put it to competition it two weeks... Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck: obviously Iost backup and gitHub doesnt seem like wanting to give me that version back... Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck duck!!!!

Day 1 of learning to build interpreters: finished the scripts for basic mathematic operations and beginnings of functions... Spent 4 fucking hours trying to track down why the compiler is treating an end of file token as an addition token... No luck, going to bed with a headache and half a head of torn out hair...

well, for now, my biggest dev ambition is to become a compiler designer/programmer... or OS designer/programmer.
In short, systems programmer (compilers or OS).
😅😅😁😁

How on earth are there people in their second year of a computer science course who are unable to understand how to read build errors. It's honestly not that hard, just look at the fucking build log and see where the error is and what type of error it is, but yet they don't bother reading the log and say that their "compiler is broken" when their 5 line code won't work.

If this was still first year I'd understand since many of the class didn't have much programming knowledge, but if you're in your second year and you struggle with this (that too for a Hello World script) it looks like you aren't even bothered and just expect the computer to magically understand what you mean.

When the runtime error happens on an empty line

You never realise how easy development is for Linux till you actually use a CLI compiler and do anything native or is development related...

Really makes you wonder why Mac and windows are so locked down yet claim they are a great development platform...

Linux on the 3DS is going well. Others have no issue at all, but I've gotta fix issues with the toolchain executables being named wrong, the provided, precompiled toolchain everyone else uses being the wrong one and being incompatible...

Fuck my life.

Compiler is like my mom. Every time when something wrong happened, they blaming me. And actually that's true.

People often rant about a missing semicolon,
I added an extra after if condition

if(...);{
}

Compiler can't take this as error.
Debugged the logic for hours,
Wasted a lot of time, lol

"witty job advertisment" compiler errors!

Fifty little bugs jumping in the code,
One tracked down and dev started to code,
Developer called the compiler,
And the compiler said
Hundred more bugs (& errors) found in the code

Text editor, compiler and a bottle of Jack Daniels

When the compiler throw a lot of errors and was a stupid ; missing...

Commented code be like..

I crashed the go compile.

Roses are red

Boost I need you

You do so much I cannot breath

You fucking need to be hacked around every time I have to compile you for a different compiler or VS version getyourshittogheter fucking hell it makes me hate you

Last semester at university we worked on a Java project and couldn't get our netbeans project to work.

We spent hours on hours to finally find out my fellow student mixed up java.lang with lava.

We added a slide in our presentation for that issue to hide the pain.

in college ages ago, professor was "teaching" us overloading in C++, he goes something like this:

"so you can overload a function by changing the number of arguments, argument types, or method return type"

I dare put my hand up: "emm .. you can't overload by just changing the return type"

"you can"

"but, but.. how would the compiler know which overload I'm invoking when I call the method?"

pause..

"it depends on the type of the variable receiving the method call result"

"what if I call the method without assigning the result to a variable?"

agitated by now: "ah these are complex compiler concepts that are too complicated blah blah"

although I was unhappy, it was useful to realize no one knows everything

C++ template errors.

Probably enough said... But a couple years ago I was interviewing and each interview included, do know about templates. I always answered, "enough to determine what is wrong when there is a compiler error." I always got some form of a chuckle or "wow" and NEVER a follow up question about templates. I received job offers from each interview, they all apparently needed someone who could help get their template code compiling?

"I'm too freaking lazy to learn to write good JavaScript so I'm gonna build a top-language with types, and then a compiler so it transpiles TypeScript to JavaScript and runs my app on the interpreted language it was at first. I'm gonna save so much time" - 2017 people

Ever got that thing, when your IDE says that you have a syntax error in your code, and you reread it again and again and just can't see it, so you just delete the whole thing and write it again - exactly the same - but now it compiles fine?

Try to convince people that html isn't a programming language and there's no need for a compiler to work with html.

Sometimes I think "I should write a meaningful error message for this exception" and then i remember how useless 99% of the error messages of every compiler / interpreter I've ever had to use and decide "msg ='something went wrong'" is good enough.

Does anyone know why Python is so often used for work in AI and with Neural Networks?

I have a general idea of how simple Neural Networks in machine learning work and from what I understand it can get pretty complex especially in late generations of learning.

From what I understand, Python is a relatively slow language as it's interpreted. Would using a compilable language (C or C#) not be more efficient? I have a feeling it has a lot to do with the current ecosystem and tools around Python being so rich in tools relating to the subject in conjunction with compilable languages on average being much more time consuming and therefore challenging to write. I'm not sure though.

What do you guys think the reason for this is?

Setting up a Haskell environment on Windows is fucking AIDS. Guess I'll screw it and just use ANTLR for my compiler.

Once again, we delivered our semester project and this time, we added working concurrency to an existing functional language compiler, which is pretty cool. But I'd probably be more happy if I had been developing more on the compiler than once again being stuck writing the fucking paper because none would be arsed to write it otherwise...

When you put your hands together and start chanting almighty compiler gods to have mercy on your soul.

Trying to get gcc and make onto a 3DS is nigh impossible as my x64 PC won't let me cross-compile and the only ARM device I have is a Pi Zero, but it runs out of memory mid-compile... fml.

Chased a bug for nearly a week. Huge code base, over 2mn lines consisting of a mess of C++, Python and Lua glued together.. Wrote a very complex distributed computational framework. End up with a elusive compiler bug in GCC.. FML

How old were you guys when you started writing code? What language and what inspired you?

My first programming memories come from writing some QBasic text-based RPG and graphics demos when I was like 12. I remember moving into C/C++ soon after with Borland's C++ compiler and playing around with WinAPI and OpenGL 1.

when i have the feeling that the compiler hates me..

Sometimes I feel.... my compiler judges me.

i always assume that my code is right so when the compiler gives an error, its hard for me to find out why it gives an error and why it doesnt work. my mind is too convinced that it is correct.

i guess i have to sleep it off 😴 maybe tomorrow it will be easier to fix

The power to have a compiler that instantly turns one language code to another language code!

So I wrote the script for the GAL in WinCupl for our project. I used the operators: ! for NOT, * for AND, + for OR

me: *writes code*
me: *compiles it*
compiler: error, unknown operation.
me: wtf but thats how its done, isnt it?
friend: u used the wrong operators. didnt u read the manual?
me: smh i didnt, i invented the syntax xD

lesson learned: always read manual first before writing it directly without knowing the syntax

I am a single-pass compiler.
Why?
Well, when I have to do the food shopping for the week, I have a look at the buying list, keep the things in mind, go through the shop exactly once and everytime I see a match with the list, I put it into the shopping trolley.
Efficient and quick.
Soo, on the other hand, my girlfriend is a multi-pass compiler.
What that mean, you ask?
Well, she doesn't have any look at the buying list until she is in the shop. Then, she runs through the whole building until she finally finds the first thing on the list... and repeats with the next one until there's no entry left.
She needs three times longer than me for this, is totally exhausted after it, and, not forgetting, then SHE is angry about ME, because I wanted to have these "special" sweets she had too run through the shop twice for because she couldn't find it at first try.

In the lab:
"Look! I have compiled and that gave me no errors! On the first try!"
So I look closer and
"Dude, ehm.., you are compiling the wrong file..."
Then he tries to compile the right class and the compiler returned errors on errors
"You know what? I hate you."
Never laughed that loud

To instantly know *exactly* what caused a compiler or runtime error and *exactly* how to fix it in the best possible way, every single time.

Is it wrong that I feel a genuine sense of accomplishment for having once written code so bad it caused an access violation in the compiler?

!rant

I haven't had a single compile error today, and I am happy!

FUUUUUUUUCK!!! Even the compiler has given up on this codebase! And it's still 2PM..............ON A MOTHERFUCKING MONDAY

Me and a couple of my friends at the IT dep stationed in the school servers will do something a little interesting for tomorrow

we will alias gcc with the error message you see when the compiler does not recieve any input files in the Docker images in their build CIs.

oh dear

Pair programming a major refactoring, colleague tries to change _everything_ simultaneously. Spent hours fixing compiler errors, now it's not linking. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I still don't know how I feel about programming tests here in my university being on paper. Literally, we code on paper and that's it. Teacher corrects it like a compiler.

When your code compiles successfully with no warnings or errors. 😀

How life smirks when I look so happy.
Devrant sure is an interesting place.

Sooooo the computers at my university

printf("%f", 0.5);
Prints the biggest number a double can have, just... WHY!

I saw multiple attempts to convert an int to a String by concatenating it with an empty String...
String s = someInt +"";

(I'm guessing the compiler uses a StringBuilder here which still ends up calling Integer.toString())

My idiotic teacher doesn't know the difference between Java and JavaScript , asked us to use a old version of Code::Blocks(some c/c++ IDE) just because she thinks that a update would modify compiler in such a way that basic code would never give the same output , she blames the compiler just because she isn't capable to see her mistakes and gives me bad grades just because she walked through college and I didn't.

I'm very sad. I had to do 5 challenges in Hackerrank for a job and I managed to complete only 1 in the allotted time.
What makes me sadder is that in one challenge, the testing the compiler did was different than the challenge description (getting me failed tests).
Damned job hunting, I'm losing hope with each passing day... 🙁

Well it's nothing I wrote myself but I don't know why it exists.

I currently work on a reasonably big LaTeX (markup/typesetting) project.
For what ever reason someone had the glorious idea to build a Compiler in Java to compile the LaTeX sources to PDF, so far so good.
The problem is that
1. Most people working on that project either use an editor with its own compiling functionality or
2. use the shell script in the same fucking directory

Of course the Compiler is also slower than both of the above and tends to crash.

Well at least it's not my time which went into there.

Since Friday devRant posts where errors are introduced by very dumb things like commas have stood out to me.

Today's error fix. Line 1352. A string input defined in the spec file was set for 13 length. The body file had 12 dashes to represent this input.

Really, one dash, four days to solve.

Oh and Unix over Windows because my compiler on Windows didn't catch it but the Unix one sure did which is how I found it.

*le me being frustrated af trying to compile asm.
.section won't work for fasm. And some other things won't work for Nasm.
Now I got the .obj aka .o from the .asm. But ldrdf.exe from the nasm compiler isn't working properly. And I can't find a troubleshoot online. Seems like this will be a sleepless night...

So c++ isn't really ideal for robotics? I could just not understand c++ correctly. I think it's just my terrible understanding of why a compiler is needed. I am an intermediate Python Dev, so I guess I'd like to download the "language" and go, ya know?

How competent I feel today experiencing the WebDev world?

I've nearly gone insane editing my CSS code, not noticing any changes at all on my website whilst spamming F5.
Luckily, before I was beginning to plan my suicide, I realized that I was editing SCSS the entire time, having my auto-compiler turned off.

I added a method to an interface. Was to lazy to find all use cases so I just hit Run and waited for the compiler to throw all places where the method is missing. #effectiveJava

So my code wasn't working and couldn't understand why. I had a statement like someVar == 'A' but when I wrote the letter A I didn't change my keyboard language from Greek to English and I didn't notice because the letters are the same in both languages. Spent like 8 hours commenting out and debugging code just to re-write all the code cause I thought the compiler is broken or I am losing my mind....

Non-co-worker rant:
Today:21 Jan, projects 5: 3 games:1 unity, 1 Java, 1 vba; 1 angular app and 1 lex compiler. due date 24 Jan.

Today I met the realization that someone lost the source to the compiler True Basic.
Bugs in the source of the compiler and it cannot be fixed, ever in that language again.

Is there a good offline C# compiler for iOS? I want to program on the go as I am not by my pc a lot.

Developing a compiler is the only thing in programming that is as difficult as building an Operating System.

Create a bug-free compiler for a Lang like c# but a little less overcomplicated and a lot faster. I don't believe a strictly typed and garbage collected language needs to be much less than half as fast as c++.

Working with Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp
where I work with CSharpSyntaxTree

I can compile the code in code.

So basically,

SyntaxTree syntaxTree = CSharpSyntaxTree.ParseText(@"
using System;

namespace InAppCompiler
{
public class Writer
{
public void PrintText(string message)
{
Console.WriteLine(message);
}

public void ALLCAPS(string msg)
{
Console.WriteLine(msg);
}
}
}");

Freaking cool!

Sometimes I believe the compiler ignores all my comments

Meet the fastest Java compiler in history #Java #Oracle c11.kr/hsj

Lets go compiler building.

When you're working with an unfamiliar codebase where there are tons and tons of compiler warnings to start with... So of course your latest build-breaking mistakes are completely buried.

In my defense, the compiler throws warnings on guard clauses

Just got an exception : InvalidCastException

Okay but I made no cast

I want legit data on how many times your second build attempt succeeded though you made absolutely no change from the previous build and sort of hope the compiler will be merciful this time around.

It is the part of the brain that still believes in supernatural stuffs I guess.

Today I realized that compilers are children, and must be treated as such. Generally, you might tend to expect a language to follow the same rules consistently, but oh how wrong you are, my sweet summer child.

I have a framework that I've been reusing across several personal Unity3d projects for a while, and all was well. This week, I was tasked with creating a PoC that combines a web app with Unity WebGL for data visualization. My framework has a ton of useful stuff helped me create the PoC very quickly, and all was well.

Come 3 days ago and there's one last piece that isn't working for some reason. It almost appears that this one bit of code isn't executing at all. Today, after countless hours of swearing at the computer and banging my head against the wall, I realized that the WebGL compiler has a different implementation for the method that checks assignability of types. An implementation that has different rules than everything else. An implementation that has no documentation about this discrepancy anywhere. I have no words.

tl;dr: The language changed the rules on me. Fuck me right?

Compilers should just work for raw C with only static memory allocation. This isn't the bad old days where a couple of dudes wrote a short book explaining how C might probably should possibly work. I hear supposedly we have standards now.

Well, last week I lost 2 days to our compiler randomly forgetting that it wasn't okay to put a globally allocated uint32 at an address ending in 9. What? It had been handling this case without issue for more a year, but now after changing completely unrelated code we have this problem.

I'm not sure how to even deal with this idiocy so no doubt I'll continue working on it this week, too.

Thanks a lot, GCC.

After spending almost all the day trying to find out what was wrong with my code, re-reading all my class, thinking that the universe does not make sense anymore, I find that one loop control variable that I was changing had a duplicate inside the loop. Damn you compiler, why did you not warn me?

Just spent 3 hours trying to understand why my compiler isn`t even trying to compile my code until i found out it was a known clang bug.

That awkward moment when your compiler don't get your code and throws error!!

when you're teaching the freshman, and they're flipping out over trying to understand c compiler errors, while you think to yourself "just wait till that first bug that only breaks something sometimes but you don't always notice..."

To all guys who write shitty code:
if (false)

I just found that when compiling for Release mode in Visual Studio the JIT compiler eliminates this:
Dead code elimination - A statement like if (false) { /.../ } gets completely eliminated.
And a lot of other similar stuff
