The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
But it surely *is* smart enough to recognize that
Pack5P = Pack10P;
could be problematic?
Just where should this stop, exactly? How much responsibility shall we
place on the compiler so that we can blame IBM while we point at the listing
and say, "See? It didn't catch that! There's nothing wrong with it!"
And how much responsibility shall we place on our own shoulders?
<soapbox>The whole idea of throwing something at the compiler to see what
comes back, is irresponsible and lazy. Those who knew what it was like to
wait 24 hours (72 on weekends) for the result of one compile, will know what
I'm talking about, and those people probably do a far better job of
desk-checking than the kiddies of today.</soapbox>
