We don't read the binary output of our C compilers because we trust it to be correct almost every time. ("It's a compiler bug" is more of a joke than a real issue)
If AI could reach the point where we actually trusted the output, then we might stop checking it.

- LiamPowell 10mo ago> "It's a compiler bug" is more of a joke than a real issue It's a very real issue, people just seem to assume their code is wrong rather than the compiler. I've personally reported 12 GCC bugs over the last 2 years and there's 1239 open wrong-code bugs currently. Here's an example of a simple one in the C frontend that has existed since GCC 4.7: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105180 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105180
