---I'd guess that correctness would be the most important one

Well, correctness is a vague concept overall.
Correctness of what?
Of the compiler, since that's the tool we're talking about.
Well, I thought you are talking about correctness of code,
or formal correctness of your program. To me, I could care
less if compiler exists. It should just compile. That is ALL
I care about, and if we start talking about correctness of
COMPILERS, it tells me there are issues with language itself.
Long subject.
If
the code generated by the compiler doesn't do what the language
says it should, then you have a very big program. It's a low
level correctness, but it's still an essential one.
I do not argue this point.
It is very unfortunate the issues like these even arise,
even though they forever do in a "real world" situations.
(I won't bother replying to the rest. The problems of the
poster should be obvious to any reasonably mature person who
reads it.)

To tell you the truth, you were one of my personal favorite
experts on C++ related collection. I always enjoyed reading your
posts because they were not simply dumb. But had depth, some
freshness and insight to them. In other words, a pretty pleasing
favor.
But...
The love affair forever comes to an end. So is the nature of things.
When I met you eye to eye, it was a totally different person.
You bother to reply or you don't "bother" to reply,
it is a matter of intellectual and scientific honesty
and the depth of your insight and a few other things.
It does not matter to me one iota.
It is YOUR choice wethere like to investigate deeper into issues
or remain as a coward, carrying a "holier than thou" mask on your
face. I could care less.
MY choise is to investigate ANY issues I am dealing with, until
no stone is left unturned.
So, I can talk to you until your nose goes blue, unless you lock
up as you just did, which simply means to me my original post
was right on the money, if you flipped out so bad.
So, be thankful to people like me giving you a chance to see
some things about yourself that you suppressed all your life,
carrying that "holier than though" phony mask on your face.
Cause we'll take that mask down in no time and we will see the
raw nature of who you are within the first steps, and that is:
1) Intellectual dishonesty.
2) Scientific dishonesty.
3) Arrogance of "holier than though".
4) Theoretical crap that has very little to do with reality,
as reality, in this particular case, is the issue of C++
basically dying and being replaced in more and more areas
and appications with languages that do not have these kinds
of problems, and some of you "experts" simply refuse to
look into it and realize your house is on fire.
Things like that.
If you do not appreciate all this, not a problem at all.
