</div><br>I don't think I agree. The purpose of a compiler is to produce correct code. If I can provoke the compiler to generate internal errors, it is often a latent problem with the compiler itself. At least disallowing the programs would be a start because it would encode what invariants (static semantics) I expect of well-formed programs.<br>
