Linus Torvalds fires off angry 'compiler-masturbation' rant

Donkey Molestor X

wow, we got all the balls in the world in this thread.

you guys all talk a big game about how you would go "yes, linus, may i please have another?".

if he were actually your boss you would either complain or you would just walk off the job.

what are any of you actually complaining about? moving bounds checking and overflow checking to the compiler using special functions? if your difficulty with that is that it is not in the C spirit of things i'll certainly cop to that. the C way of doing things is to never bounds check and leak resources everywhere and let your stack get smashed because "real" programmers certainly never check their math more than once.

this is why you are all being replaced by Indians who do the work for 1/10th the salary and 0/10ths of the ego.
