I agree. Lack of errors is not an indicator of correct compilation. Piping something to /dev/null won't provide any errors either & so there is nothing we can conclude from it. The fact that it compiles SQLite correctly does provide some evidence that their compiler at least implements enough of the C semantics involved in SQLite.


It can run Doom so it must mean some amount of correctness?
