Crashing is good for you

Found this post from Ryan Lortie interesting. Apparently, the optimization in this recent bug report will crash quite a lot of programs.

Totally great, now developers finally are forced to fix their (null) strings they dump in output and in configuration files. Programs become more portable and developers learn the important lession of being careful with NULL, what's not to like about that? :)

I very much like the way the gcc developers are going even if their changes affects me too. They seem to fully realize that following specified standards is much more important than preserving backwards compatibility.

Remember, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!
