If a compiler does not support a feature, it is supposed to error-out
upon encountering it, not generate invalid code. If this was, in fact,
the reason for the problem, it would've been a compiler bug.

Depending on what you mean by "compiler features" here, this is simply a
duplicate of either your own 4 or my 1.

Is that why you decided to chime-in? Because you are not "particularly
interested"? Maybe, you should've remained outside this lovely
discussion, if this was really true?
Jung-uk Kim answered my question, though.

This was never true before and it is rather sad, if it were really
becoming the truth now. More than likely, though, this is just a cheap
excuse. Kind of like: "you did not pay for the code, did you, so don't
expect it to work".
