(interchangable with 'correct')
I think "Compilable" and related words are redundant.
Mostly I would agree with you. This technique can
be applied to HTML/JS just as easily, and there is
no hint of compilation in any of that. And as you
pointed out..
...
If the problem happens at compile time, the example must NOT be compilable.
..I consider uncompilable code that fails to compile
for me, just as it does for the OP, to be an
SSC (correct) E.
To those interested in this thread. I will consider
adding any generally popular alternate term to the
page, but I would *not* consider any word based on
'compile'.
As to the abbreviation.
Hey! *You* try coming up with an unique, easy to
use group of letters that encapsulate the concept.
I had already rejected many variants because they
were too common and well used.
And, no need for any apologies (as might have been
scattered about, earlier in the thread). We all seem
to want the same basic thing, it is just a matter of
figuring the best way to communicate it.
If others want to call it ..something else but also
link to any of the pages* describing it, they
are more than welcome to do so.
