There is apparently still a problem with long long subtraction using lcc
win-32. The following code outputs -19 instead of 19. This is with the
version I downloaded 12 August 2009, "Compiled Sun May 10 11:28:45 2009"
according to the Help Information.
int main(void)
{
long long s = 59;
int z = 2;
int k = (s-z)/3;
(void)printf("k=%d\n", k);
return 1;
}

Excuse me, I was in holidays. It has been fixed and I will upload it
this week.

In my opinion this is completely unacceptable. Reputable, professional
software companies do not grind to a halt when one member of the tech
support team goes on vacation. I recommend you to arrange your employees'
leave so that there is always tech support cover throughout the year.

The troll is back, and as usual, has nothing to say that is worth
refuting.
(jacob, if you watch carefully, you'll find that none of the "regs"
will defend "tea strainer"'s attack on you, despite your previous
false claims to the contrary.)

Most reputable, professional software companies (Microsoft and
Oracle are ones I have personal experience with) are unlikely to
give you even a trivial fix for a bug you reported in even 3 months,
even if your employer is paying them thousands or tens of thousands
of dollars a year for a support contract. It takes them longer
than that just to fix a spelling error in a copyright notice and
re-release it. Jacob seems to be doing much better than that.

It's not generally tech support that makes fixes to compilers. |

Those who expect a perfect service have never tried to provide one.

So, are you saying that companies too small to have more than one member
in the tech support team are incapable of qualifying as "reputable,
professional companies"? Or are you saying that any company that small
which wishes to so qualify must prohibit the only member of their tech
support team from ever taking vacations?
It's a pretty ridiculous claim, in either case. Count yourself lucky
that he has made the fixed version of the code available to you within a
week of returning from vacation; there's very few big companies that
could respond that quickly. |
