I don't think you understand what "epic" means. An IntelliSense bug, particularly one related to templates, is hardly even worth noticing, let alone creating a dedicated "epic" thread about.

I thought it was funny.....

they should have a fallback to just display "Something is wrong. Don't judge me monkey." if the two variable type strings strcmp to be the same in the error output.

In land before time, Delphi was once a very advanced IDE. It had integrated help, code completion, .Net-like visual editor (.Net is actually modern version of Delphi) and more...

Writing some code, I get Run-time error #27 (or similar). That wasn't a valid error code in documentation, so I hit help.

And it had an entry containing a single sentence: "This error cannot occur".

I saw a pretty good bug in VS 2008 I wish I had taken a screenshot of. Somehow, seemingly every tool window in the app decided to open at once. Breakpoints, find windows, windows I didn't know existed, you name it. Well, I'm assuming it was a bug. Maybe it was my own fault... maybe I hit the "do the most obnoxious interface thing possible" command.

Translation: Stop dissing your favourite IDE, Visual Studio. You should just rate this guy down if you don't like his post.

Don't quit your day job; you fail at translating.

The real translation is: IntelliSense bugs are common. Things that everyone knows about and happen all the time are hardly described as "epic", and are not worth posting on the internet about. Nobody goes around posting about how epic it is that their mailman was late yesterday or that they spilled their coffee this morning on the way to work, even though they're bad things that we wish didn't happen.

Maybe this is the sort of drivel you want on GDNet, but I'd rather have someone say something intelligent and thought provoking. A more constructive action on the part of the original poster could have been to send a bug report to Microsoft so that they could fix it in the next release.

I'm not impressed, and it has nothing to do with whichever technology he decided to rant about.

Isn't this what Blogs are all about?

I've actually seen this a couple of times in 2008. I seem to remember it occuring when breaking into the debugger.

I hope they got some money from snickers for that.

Catastrophic!

If only Microsoft had similar warnings... I thought this download was never going to end!

Yeah, I saw this one a little while back as well. They could totally do some sort of product placement advertising there...
