Me: This is totally gonna work

Compiler: u tried

uh oh i did something bad

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

😂😂😂

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?

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"

Me: Lets build and test my app!
Compiler: WTF is "onLick" ???

*cries in corner*

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

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

#CompilerConspiracy

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

That's a point!

No caption! Its itself explanatory 😂

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

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

I personally like to hold my compiler at gunpoint

To compiler warnings:
Thank you, thank you, thank you

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

My look when my code compiles at first go.

*That's suspicious*

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

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

Rude Compiler :/

"Fatal Error"
Exceptions? No, let's just halt the entire program.

Apparently a CS professor wrote this code.

"Needed to keep the compiler happy"

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

When I'm forced to maintain a C project having recently done a lot of C++:

Compiler: Declaration may not appear after executable statement in block.

Me: dEcLarAtiOn mAy NoT aPpeaR aFtER eXeCuTAblE stAtEmEnt iN BloCk. *pffffttt*

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 ;~)

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

I love when compilers give good, clear feedback.

writing an assembler for my compiler, Manticore.

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

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....

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

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

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

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

*** 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?

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

Any mobile device compiler....they take FOREVER

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

The Dragon book has arrived

Yup some folks don’t like it some stuff is missing and it’s not presented in a different way but it’s still the compiler book of compiler books

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?

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

Just ignore this shit (source: reddit | u/smit0086)

Found somewhere. Author unknown

[long]
When searching for internship via school I found this small startup with this cute project of building a teaching tool for programming. There were back then 2 programmers: the founder and the co-founder.

Then like 1 week before the internship started, the co-founder had a burnout and had to get off the project, while the company was so low on budget the founder, aka my new b0ss, had to work separate jobs to keep the company alive. (quite metal tbh)

It's funny because I'm a junior developer, 100%. I've been coding as a hobby for around 8 years now but I've never worked in a big company before. (No exception to this workplace either)

First project I get: rewrite the compiler. The Python compiler.
"But wait, why not just embed a real compiler from the first case?"
-nanananana it's never simple, as you probably know from your own projects.

The new compiler, as compared to existing embedded compiler solutions out there, needed these prime features:
- Walk through the code (debugger style), but programmatically.
- Show custom exceptions (ex: "A colon is needed at the end of an if-statement" instead of "Syntax error line 3")
- Have a "Did-you-mean this variable?" error for usage of unassigned variables.
- Be able to be embedded in Unity's WebGL build target

All for the use case of being a friendly compiler.
The last dash in the list is actually the biggest bottleneck which excluded all existing open-source projects (i could find). Compliant with WebAssembly I can't use threads among other things, IL2CPP has lots of restrictions, Unity has some as well...

Oh and it should of course be built using test-driven development.

"Good luck!" - said the founder, first day of work as she then traveled to USA for **3 weeks**, leaving me solo with the to-be-made codebase and humongous list of requirements.

---

I just finished the 6th week of internship, boss has been at "HQ" for 3 weeks now, and I just hit the biggest milestone yet for this project.

Yes I've been succeeding! This project has gone so well, and I'm surprising myself how much code I've been pumping out during these weeks.

I'm up now at almost 40'000 lines of source and 30'000 lines of code. ‼
( Biggest project I've ever worked on previously was at 8'000 lines of code )

The milestone (that I finished today) was for loops! As been trying to showcase in the GIF.

---

It's such a giant project and I can honestly say I've done some good work here. Self-five. Over-performing is a thing.

The things that makes me shiver though is that most that use this application will never know the intricates of it's insides, and the brain work put into it.

The project is probably over-engineered. A lot. Having a home-made compiler gives us a lot of flexibility for our product as we're trying to make more of a "pedagogic IDE". But no matter that I reinvented the wheel for the 105Gth time, it's still the most fun I've had with a project to date.

---

Also btw if anyone wants to see source code, please give me good reasons as I'm actively trying to convince my boss to make the compiler open-source.

Cheers!

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?

Waiting for the compiler

A HTML... compiler? Wut?

So I recently started going to a university, and I am being taught C. I have previously learnt C++ in school so its all pretty easy for me compared to those who are programming for the first time.
So, one of my classmates run into a problem with their code so he asks to check where he went wrong. So, the teacher comes and checks his code and then concluded that the compiler is F****** broken!! And i am like FFS theres a missing semi-colon, even the compiler pointed it out....just because you couldn't figure out the problem doesn't mean the compiler is broken.

I've just managed to add the ability to call functions to my compiler. Currently, the capabilities are rather limited but I am pleased with it.
It keeps the schematics of the source code well enough that it can handle
recursive calls.
:D
On the Image, you can see the program's output (left), the generated x86_64 assembly, and the source code of the compiled program (bottom).

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

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.

On trying to compile again without making any code change

Nope, it's not your fault. It's the compiler :)

Me after a long coding session with a well prepared working flow: I am such a great computer scientist, I can conquer the world.

Right after that I found a repository for computer science papers and got immidiately hooked. Well, the level of knowledge and theory is so immense that it brought me back to ground of reality again: I know so little that it is almost ridiculous, even if I read and code 16 hours a day I may never understand computer science as a whole.

Le me sad.

1 little bug in the code

991 little BUGS IN THE CODE

"We have this Fortran code that should be translated in that Matlab software, is there a system or a compiler to do that?"
"Yes, that is called a Programmer"

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.

Yeet I just made a brainfuck compiler with python

Love you my dear...

Do compiler engineers compile compilers? 🤔

I hate it when code line are structured like this.Get().Start().Trim().Where(a=>a.id = newId).ToList().ConvertAll(...).EndMaybe().Name

Are you a fkin compiler or what

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

Me: *Run the project and nothing works*
My brain: Do it again

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

The one colleague who wants to type -0.5 but accidentally types 0-.5 and leaves it like that because the compiler accepts it and in the end its correct.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

My favorite paradox:

What came first, the compiler or the source code?

- 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

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)

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

Wow @ewpratten and I just witnessed, for the first time in history, the GCC compiler being useful!

How did they compile the first compiler? 😰

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

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).
😅😅😁😁

// sometimes I believe compiler ignores all my comments

Making my own game console.

I work with FPGAs and have access to a bunch of pretty nice dev boards, so building a workable CPU and GPU is definitely possible. I even have architectures for both in mind, and have planned ways to get compiler support (i.e. just use RISC-V as the ISA as much as possible so that I can reuse an existing RISC-V compiler with minimal changes) so that I don't need to write assembly.

But, lack of time. Sigh.

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

When the runtime error happens on an empty line

!rant

I bitch a lot about the complexity of Rust. But every time I do it I go ahead and applaud just how fucking good the compiler messages are.

A fucking thing of beauty.

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)

"witty job advertisment" compiler errors!

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...

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 ?

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

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.

How the fuck do you people develop on Windows? 30GB of Visual Studio dependencies to get a compiler going, now this???

Sometimes i wonder what it feels like to be a compiler

It's the time of AI, so add that mf AI to our compiler that we don't have to fix the errors anymore!😈

Me and the boys implementing a 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

Everytime I think I'm smarter than the compiler, I'm... absolutely not smarter than the compiler lol

Compiling software on Linux:

Python interpreter? Easy peasy, just some dependencies here and there. Make does a good job.

Linux kernel? Piece of cake, 20 years of development will be freshly served on your machine after one hour compiling (I have a pretty powerful computer).

Tensorflow? Fuck this shit I am outta.

What is your story with self-built software? Which piece of code has the most terrible dependency hell?

Rust: Unclear error output is seen as a compiler bug.

SSIS & SQL Server: Unclear or absent error output is seen as an enterprise feature. It's so mature!

Here's a short cliché marriage scenario.

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

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

Text editor, compiler and a bottle of Jack Daniels

does golangs compiler count as an expert?

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

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.

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

WHERE YOU HAVE TO EDIT THE COMPILER TO FIX ERRORS

Made by @cozyplanes. All rights reserved.

Leaving an intentional compiler error on Friday so I know where to continue on Monday.

Now I have a compiler error and not a fucking clue of what I'm supposed to do with it.

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?

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

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

Why do programmers prefer dark mode? 🌑

Because the light attracts bugs! 🐛

"When you try to make coffee but the compiler keeps saying 'Syntax error: Coffee not found.'" ☕😅

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

Best: building a compiler in C and using LLVM as an IR tool

Worst: my job, and a group project of 5 people which I ended up working on alone

Rebase onto master. Compiler fails to compile c++ stl.

Time to finish work.

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

Do y'all write compilers these days?

Can you post a link to any compiler you've written before.

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

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

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

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

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++.

Americans be like "I'm offended! My compiler said I have a syntax error!"

When your compiler is too smart and inlines and unrolls the function call with its own implementation on a preemptable kernel code a simple memcpy call can be used to destroy the system :D

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

Only scratched the surface trying to write a C compiler in Ruby.

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...

Fuck golang, apparently enums are too complicated for the human mind. Someone looked at C and decided to make it shittier, like now I have to deal with C shit, and use a garbage collector on top of it or use fucking C++

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

Coming back to c++ after far too long in python...

Compiler: "Do you even know what a semicolon is?!"

compiler, y u do dis? T^T

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

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

I am still working on it and it is far from being done, but a compiler.

Sometimes I believe the compiler ignores all my comments

Someone around here once said that they believe that Rust compiler errors are generated by first sending the compiler noise to some dude in India and then they parse the errors and send them back to the compiler.

This was not a nod against our friends from the land of India, but instead, I think, a praise.

Thus I would like to add a request to the rust devs to see if they could include more "trademark Indian" sassy remarks in the messages that the compiler generates. But I am afraid that they think I am being racist or something.

For reference: My Indian friends are all beyond sassy in the way they clap back at mfkers when having friendly arguments, I have been left with a "well, damn" in multiple occasions because I am incapable of reaching that level of sass myself.

Can we please stop making everything in javascript? Pretty please?

Like, I get it, js makes it easier to find developers and speeds up development, but writing a compiler to run on node? That doesn't make any sense to me. Typescript is taking ~11s to compile a medium-sized project, out of which ~9s are just type-checking (if I disable type-checking it takes ~2s to compile). Even Rust, which is considered to have a slow compiler (because of the borrow checker I assume) takes less time to compile a project of roughly the same size.

This is getting very irritating. If I want to keep type-checking, every single time I make a change on a single file I have to wait 11s before any tests start running. This was heavily affecting my productivity (and sanity), so I decided to disable type-checking and threw out the window 90% of Typescript's advantages.

Why the hell wasn't typescript written in an actually performant language? Just so you could say that typescript is written in itself? I don't get it, I really don't.

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.

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.

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

make -j20 - that's quick!

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

Lets go compiler building.

Simple ANTLR project for compiler class accepted .

Easy money
(btw I had no idea about what antlr was , so i googled everything :D)

My compiler tells me, "Hey, you have an error at line 389, resolve it!"

Me [In wonder]: What the heck are you talking Mr Compiler, my program is of 32 lines only!!!

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.

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?

Crawling around in a legacy project. Need to rewrite 500 lines of SCSS, to regular CSS. Fuck it. Runs compiler, beautifier and copy paste that shit.

My weirdest dream about programming?

I was sitting with my buddy and we were programming, and literally, verbally arguing with compiler that he should compile, and he was spewing out different errors each time we compiled, and it somehow matched our arguments, so it literally was "replying" with different kind of errors ;-;

I mean, we didnt change code, but tell to compiler "no, no, no, you dont understand. This error is wrong, becouse here and there is this and that and it just should work" **pressed compile again and gets different errror**

Yes, that was after few nights of c++.

Edit:
yes, in that dream compiler was spewing out bullshit errors that didnt made sense.

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!

Anyone able to link me to some good reading material on compilers, interpreters, emulation and CPU design?

Keen to actually get some of this knowledge under my belt, don't mind if it requires a little investment as long as it isn't written in (fucking) python, preferably C if anyone knows of anything.

Thanks guys! :-D

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 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())

A HTML Tree Compiler?

I hate every single little bug that is not a compiler error!

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

GSUS XRIST! from 3.7M to 96K o.O that's Ocaml's compiler for you 🤤

Just got an exception : InvalidCastException

Okay but I made no cast

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.

i adore compiler based programmers. yesterday i changed a bit of python code without being able to run it only to find out later i wasn't even able to spell True and False correctly.

A bit confused

I have a code and it is giving different answers in different language and compilers
the code is

Int a=4
Int b = ++a + a++ + --a

Please ignore the syntactical errors
But this logic give different answers in different compiler and language like in
C(turbo c++ compiler) it gives 12
C(gcc)- 16
Java- 15
Python- 12

Can anybody explain the logic behind this...

When someone specifies file path of file as below
File fileToRead=new File("C:\Users\You\Desktop\testfiles.Zip\test.txt");

Compiler be like

Swift can sometimes be just a bit too type safe, to the point where you have to put ! everywhere there is an optional variable to stop the compiler from complaining

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.

Just found out that Ruby does not have any formal langauge specification. Instead, they just use the ruby-spec test suite. If your compiler can pass those, then it's probably a ruby compiler.

This is a pure duck typing at a compiler level. LMFAO.

python + rename == nightmare.

I cannot be fully confident every rename is safe. Because there's no compiler check to tell me o.o

C compiler : you have 27 errors and 35 warnings 😐.
Me : ok let's recompile it.🧐
C compiler : ok! You can go now🤣.

compiler distancing

MSVC will sometimes compile our code. Sometimes it throws an error.

No changes. Just a shitty compiler.

Same code, same chip, different platform and compiler(arm64 and amd64) and exactly one bit flipped on the chip init from the same binary, is this even possible...

In my defense, the compiler throws warnings on guard clauses

In Java, I use dummy variables to set breakpoints and get around the return unreachable compiler/Eclipse check

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.

How is MSSQL so popular? "Oh yeah, sometimes you have to use dynamic SQL because the compiler doesn't correctly detect the impact of DDL commands and rejects working code" god fucking what? Why does the compiler infer the future structure of tables after a DDL command if it can't do so reliably? In my world, if it becomes public knowledge that a compiler incorrectly infers something, the maintainer scrambles to remove the inference instead.

I also find it surreal that I have to disengage versioning on a table in order to be able to modify the version history. Like surely, there should be a mechanism to temporarily skip the hooks other than ALTERing the table into a regular unversioned database table and then ALTERing it back, rebuilding the versioning infrastructure from scratch. SQL is awful and MSSQL is doubly awful.

On my University exam of compiler design I got this question
Write difference between pascal and C programming language.

I taught myself C. I had a Commodor-64, and I bought a C compiler for it. My first project was a random character generator for the original D&D RPG. That was in 1985.

First time programming. I'm sure I got it right. Compiler must have a bug. My instructions were very specific. Wait... what... I don't even...

Compiler gives me the finger
Abandon project

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.

Named my current project "dumpster fire" so I can say "This dumpster fire doesn't even get through compiler anymore!" will work on that level too.

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.

Hey, let's take a look at the Clojure compiler, this might be interesting.

What the actual fuck?

It drives me crazy when there are unclosed parens or quotes anywhere.

Is it too much to ask for people to run their Facebook posts through a compiler first?

so llvm core was written in c++
and it's used to build good compilers.
and they used it to build llvm-g++, a c++ compiler (now deprecated)

huh...

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?

Write an APL compiler.

Use Rust they said. It will be much less hassle they said.

And now rustc just stops working in the middle of compiling. No error or anything it just doesn't want to continue compiling so I'm stuck forever on "Building ...". I thought I would never have to experience this again after deciding to pretend C++ doesn't exist but alas systems programming appears to forever be a right pain in the ass

Is there a programming language or library that lets you customize the shit out of it? Something like C++ templates but with special symbols as custom operators?

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

Whether I care to admit it or not....

My most prolific teacher has been compiler error messages (oh, and intellisense).

TL;DR: Brainfuck & Abstraction is so cool!

One of my dreams is to make a Mandelbrot Fractal with Brainfuck as the one on Rosetta Code.

I'm too lazy... So i'm writing a Compiler for Brainfuck.

At now i have 900 line of Python code and the operation VAR, SET, ADD, SUB, MUL with nested operation compatibility, IF, ELSE, ENDIF...
Probably i will doing it fast directly with BF but damn if abstraction is so cool!!

I wonder why the css class inside the css file throws an angular compiler error at '{' ... shit, it was configured with sass, not scss 🤦
