Hmm. What other compiler (for any language) do you feel has no bugs?

Personally, I don't trust _any_ compiler if I don't have a support
contract for it.

Again, what other compiler meets this criteria? GCC C, maybe. _not_
GCC C++; I have lots of code that won't compile. But C is not a very
modern language, and I'll take GNAT 3.15p over the latest GCC C
compiler any day.
