In practice, I find both STL and Boost are rarely used. Such advanced tools are fine for experienced C++ programmers. For ex-Fortran programmers, new to C++, making their first steps in C++ manual memory management, the news that the C++ compiler will silently eat certainly wrong code is worrying. Hence my bug report. Some newbie C++ programmers need more hand-holding than traditional C++ compilers provide. And as C++ becomes more and more mainstream, this will be more and more true. The bug report remains at resolved wontfix. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32984
