As a compiler developer, if you give me a bug and the source is not reduced, I'm decently likely to tell you to reduce it first before I attempt to take a look

- stassats 1y agoA good strategy if you don't care about fixing bugs.
- pfdietz 1y agoStill, I try to be polite and reduce the code some before making the bug report. I don't want to come across as lazy and load you (in particular) with work I could have done. Having said that, reduction can be tricky, and I need to do more work on that with the Common Lisp random tester, so as to allow more language constructs to be in the random code.
