For consistency with IEEE 754, shouldn't we produce INF on a division by zero, at least for floats (but probably integers too because of weak typing)? I don't think producing a warning is an issue, but FALSE isn't the right value to produce. However there should be a compile-time solution. Maybe, if a division by zero happens, don't evaluate the expression at compile-time? Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
