I'm really happy that > it appeared (compiler, not bug;). IMHO, a compiler that cannot compile itself does not deserve to be called compiler. (Sorry, developers, I appreciate your hard work but let's say the sad truth straight in the eyes). I would not trust a compiler only because it compiles a particular program. One can try to compile a more complex program and wonder later if the number one gets are true results or just a garbage.
