About half the time, your compiler gives you a warning and compiles it anyway. And then either it misbehaves or doesn't compile on a different compiler... C++ compilers have been trying to tighten things up, but they also have various modes where they'll let non-conformant code sorta work (e.g. by disabling certain optimizations). Or was that meant to be a rhetorical question? -Boris
