I don't know either...  and I don't know how to convince Microsoft to 
fix those bugs in VS12.  I think these two compiler bugs are quite 
severe, they even affect plain ANSI C code (as standardized in 1989)! 
But in fact, while the bugs were introduced with the very first 
release of VS12 (2013), no user presented a simple, minimal repro case 
for these bugs, apparently, until we did, just a few weeks ago. And 
VS12 already has had four updates. So it may be just too late now, to 
have them fixed in VS12. What do you think?

Cool!

Oops, I made a typo in the first link! HTTPS may also slow things 
down.  Please try again:
