--- Comment #10 from Jens Bauer <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Martin Nowak from comment #9) > If you really think we should fix this, then a time limit for CTFE execution > might be feasible. I think it would be a good thing to at least implement a 'general-case' fix. 1: on dlang.org, there's an on-line compiler. It wouldn't take much effort to bring it to the knees. 2: When the users of D grow, the number of bug-reports will grow very quickly. Believe me; I worked on a Web-browser for the Mac platform, which had 200000 downloads the first week. At the time, we were 2 developers on the Mac platform. -Needless to say (but I'll do it anyway): Those people did not know much about bug-reporting. 200000 people - many of them 'novice' againt 2 developers = a whole load of bug reports that could never be marked 'fixed' - many because we could never keep up. (This particular web-browser actually *had* a loop detection on the Javascript, and it was impossible for me to trick it). Fortunately, the D compiler team have better conditions. The users are developers, so most of them know what it's all about - but there are still people writing code, who should not wear the title "developer"; simply because their only agenda is "to make damage". --
