wow. reminds me of the time when a coworker, who was a bit of a PITA - never listened to good advice, was convinced he had found a bug in the compiler. Having had this fantasy once or twice myself, I've learned that it is almost certainly not the compilier  . Myself and one other took a look at his code and immediately found a buffer overrun. He insisted that it always worked correctly before and that could not be the issue.
but back to that code fragment -

I knew it as PBKAC[^] but I like your acronym better

In the embedded world sometimes we actually find bugs in the compiler, though they are easier to spot since the disassembly is much leaner.

I have heard of this happening but never experienced it.
This had to do with the C compiler for OpenVMS. The people that worked on DEC's compilers were legendary.

Very long time ago I found a bug in the C++ compiler I was using.
So I wrote a letter to the company (again long time ago.) I carefully pointed out how the C++ compiler did not do what Stroustrup documented in "The C++ Programming Language".
The president of the company (I suspect the only employee) wrote back to tell me that Stroustrup was wrong.
Years later when the ANSI C++ spec was finalized I saw that Stroustrup was still right.
