It may be "obvious" to you, but it isn't true. The result includes the
generated object code.

ROTF,LMAO! Your faith is touching.

No, it's due to your failure to understand that different compilers
can generate different object code from the same source.

No, that's a pro for regression testing.

Not if you insist on promoting all clean compiles to production
untested. But it's not my dog.
