I **strongly** (make that STRONGLY) disagree with your "...have to run ALL the code which we all know it is impossible".

Now I would agree that one cannot run all conditions, but that is very different than running (through) all the code. And you could have a case where macros are concerned, but things can and should be done to protect against problems in those cases.

I cannot think of anything that I've delivered where I didn't run ALL THE CODE! Or at the very least believe that I had run through every line of code. And this is true regardless of the language (even those that *do* inform of name or type conflicts at compile time). When I revise any program I make sure that every single line that I have changed is run.

I believe that everyone else (to 99%+ anyway) does the same thing and I would be most extremely surprised if many come forward to say otherwise (the gauntlet has been thrown < s >).



>I will have to disagree with "and works for most of the cases" It does not ! This option is useless since it only work with the runtime and you actually have to run ALL the code which we all know it is impossible.
