I am very curious, if these bugs are that common then why don’t we see more programs with weird bugs when they are running and especially having them be documented? Is it because when an unknown bug turns out to be a compiler bug and not a code error it gets fixed right away and with little fanfare? Or that there is some sort of resiliency built into the compiled code that can mask compiler bugs? Or is there some other factor?
Also how easy is it do discover a compiler bug and how easy is it to identify that a bug in your executable is due to a compiler bug?
