Compilation error on system test
By RedNextCentury, history, 6 years ago, In English

Today my friend told me that my solution for problem D in yesterday's educational contest failed on system tests. "Another silly bug", I thought.

I opened my submissions to check why it failed and I was surprised to see that the verdict was compilation error!

This is my submission, and this is what the error message says:

Can't compile file: Compilation process returned error: idleness limit exceeded (process hangs)

Any idea why this could happen? It's unrated anyways so it's not a big deal but this may have happened to other rated participants too.

It must be a problem from CodeForces.I sent your code and I chose the same compiler but I get accepted!!!!

    Yep, thanks :D

    Just wondering if it affected someone else, because it would be pretty bad if it happened in a rated contest :p

I was solving a practice problem yesterday and my submission also showed compilation error, although it worked fine on custom invocation. Then I tried submitting the same code again, but it said that "you have already submitted the same code before". So, I just commented a useless line in my code and it got accepted. I thought it was a coincidence but looking at your post, it doesn't seem like that.

    Seems like it affected several people. I hope it gets fixed soon

ffs, at least put brackets in your define: #define R (2*x+1)
