Please excuse my harsh statement. In no way did I intend to claim that
the compiler is of bad quality or does not work.
I just wanted to emphasize that ignoring syntax errors is not a
feature, but a bug. Strict syntax checks help the programmer to
recognize errors early and write source code which is compatible with
other compilers.
Best regards,
Richard
