How to crash your compiler
Posted on:October 31 2008
An unusual link from me, but this thread in the OGRE forum is great: Shortest way to crash the Visual Studio compiler. Best find so far:
Didn't know there were so many and simple ways to make the compiler crash. Great :)

Today I was crashing VS2005 because I didn't dispose of a timer properly. I'd open the control in the designer and then close it, only to have the IDE crash a few seconds later. When the timer event was triggered after I had closed the designer a null exception got thrown and killed Visual Studio.

works as expected on GCC for me, no crash:
# cat test.cpp
enum{}(
# gcc -o test test.cpp
test.cpp:1: error: expected unqualified-id at end of input
test.cpp:1: error: expected `)' at end of input
# cat test.cpp
enum{}(
# gcc -o test test.cpp
test.cpp:1: error: expected unqualified-id at end of input
test.cpp:1: error: expected `)' at end of input
