MS VS and the infinite while loop
My friend was writing a very simple 32console app in visual C++ to count the number of a's in a sentence. He had a while loop in there but it kept getting stuck in the loop. After completely stripping down the program it looked something like this...
PHP Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
main()
{
int i=0;
while(i<100)
{
i++;
cout<<i;
}
return 0
}
Nothing special. Added the cout to see what was up with the iterator...Hit execute and the console gives us this
12222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222 222222222222222... etc.
It is a bug Microsoft is aware of and they give instructions on how to edit Visual studio to correct the bug(no patch?)
It seems like a bug that could potentially cause some serious headaches for someone who might not know of the bug.
