Hate ???

How did you come to that conclusion from what I have been saying ?

Craig pointed out that DEC C found a problem in the Perl source code
that other compilers missed.

While saying that it's a pity that we couldn't run the Linux source code
through DEC C to see if it found a problem in the Linux source code,
I also wondered if running the VMS source code through the current
LLVM front ends would in turn find any problems in the VMS source code
that the current DEC C compiler might have missed.

That's all this discussion was about.

Simon.
