Without pointing fingers at either Amiga compiler vendor, considering the
problems reported, it makes me wonder what their beta testing process is
like. I *know* how hard it is to find good beta testers. Sometimes I think
that even if you paid them, they couldn't do a good job. Some bugs seem
obvious when you find them. 🙂 But with a compiler, as opposed to a
program that feeds on mouse events and user decisions, you can run test
suites. I'm sure both Manx and Lattice have test suites; wouldn't they have
caught these bugs in generated code? Would either Manx or Lattice's
representatives care to comment on their testing procedures?
