[Schuster, J. (N-Compaq) <joe...@lm...>]

I've noticed that there usually is quite a difference b/t how 'robust' code is when
it's built with debugging on or off. In MSVC a lot of code will start working with
debugging on when it wouldn't with debugging off. (This is also somewhat true with
gcc but not to the same extent.) - Just a note.

"return recursiveMinimum(Array, --Length);

I'm not sure what the exact rules are and why this
isn't a compiler error or warning."


Luke,

Thanks for pointing this problem out to me. I wonder
why MinGW does not throw an error when this is
compiled. When I recompiled this code in MSVC, I
noticed that it did throw an error about all control
paths not returning a value... yet it still generated
the correct result.

Jeremy
