should Compilers should be given personalities?

retrolefty:
My compiler hates me.

So you are saying that when Richard Stallman started GCC project which had its first release in 1987, he knew somehow that there would be a programmer who goes by the handle 'retrolefty', and put in special code just to torment this particular person. And after control of GCC was moved to the GCC steering committee, all of us involved, keep this special code around just to make things difficult for you personally?

Somehow, even though I've been involved with the GCC project since 1988 (except for a small stint when I was working on other compilers), I seem to have missed out on this ultra-secret 'feature'. :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes:
