RE: [GD-Windows] VC makes absurd code

The obvious solution would probably work.

Reinstall OS
Reinstall IDE
Reinstall Libs

That is nothing to do with actual code, because as I said it happens on
single computer, everywhere it generates the right,working code. I see the
compiler to generate absurd code once, but it was about the 'else' clause of
one 'if' that was supposed never to execute and was not written by that
reason, but since compiler do not understand such thing it generates the
'else' clause which was totally absurd - but this dead code was there and
remains in the executable. For no reason.
My case is not like that - it is perfectly linear code, and one single
cast - there are allocations in that cast (new std::string object comes to
life), some RB_tree accessing (?!) and a lot of code actually, then
optimizer assumes that allocator can not allocate code (?!?!) and pushes 0
to the stack, where the pointer must be pushed... then it is accessed and it
crashes happily, god damn it!

P.S. After seeing that piece of code, I use std::string <-> const char*
casting very carefully, it is amazing how much code can produce one single
line like that!
