    Compiler goes into another level? :P

    So, one guy from my uni posted this on his facebook,

    He passed an int, without checking it and it was an int coming from an wrong computation. Compiler really didn't like it.

    Had you ever got any "interesting-funny" compiler messages?
    Code - functions and small libraries I use


    It’s 2014 and I still use printf() for debugging.

    I haven't encountered any personally. But it would probably brighten my day if I saw one like that myself.

    For sure, it would make me smile too.

    *That* isn't a compiler error message.

    I wish gcc had a sense of humor...

    And I also wish g++ had smaller error messages but alas, I am probably just bad at C++ XD

    Right. Rather, it's the message returned from the NSInvalidArgumentException object.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    I checked back his post and he says "message from Xcode debugger". Should we "accept" it?
