Oh what a morning

Came to work at 8am, looking forward to code all day, and then... then... this f****** CVS file server is down all morning. :mad: Anyway, I've got time to surf the CodeProject. So a big HI to anyone! :-D When I was young my mother told me to clean up my room, I told her -1!

If you did checkout before then you can easily work and commit after you get a server connection back. Actually you can even clone the sandboxes and implement different fixes in each and do update/commit and it should still work. More - some actions like cvs edit will actually be stored and re-send once connection is back and any cvs operation is performed. So, it's a good idea to keep a sandbox at all times checked out and ready for action...

DontWantToDoThatexception. Then, if your mother is smart enough to catch the exception then she would handle it properly (cut off your allowance etc.), but if not then you'd be safe. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu -

you lucky guy.... When out source control would be down, I would have to do the chanting and blessing. And then, code faster so I get my work done....
One day I might find it quite amusing how touching tongues make life so confusing Anne Clark again [sighist]

Stefan Spenz wrote: Actually it will stop me from coding, as I need to compile previous revisions of some files. Of course it all depends on the task at hand. If you need to access the history of files then you are screwed, but you can "move forward" and do at least some changes that don't require old versions. Most of the coding that I am doing requires very small access window to the source control - once or twice a week to check in the changes. We rarely go back to the old versions...

:-D :-D :-D That is a great sig. I think it means he said NO to his MOM in geek speak May the Source be with you Sonork ID 100.9997 sijinjoseph
Sijin wrote: That is a great sig Dont think so. Its a sign of outdated/bad programming style. It should be either a boolean return value to indicate success or failure (yes/no in this case) or, in case of a int return value (which might indicate the level of agreement), raise an exception to indicate failure to agree. ;)
int x=1, y=5;
x^=y^=x^=y; // whats the content of x and y now?

ClickHereForHelp();Andreas Saurwein wrote: in case of a int return value (which might indicate the level of agreement), raise an exception to indicate failure to agree I'd prefer an int return value, as a competent designer would then be able to augment a simple failure with a helpful message, depending on the return value, to explain clearly the reason for the failure. The range could include such things as "Not now, Mom - I'm watching a good movie" or "Not on your life Mom, there's something dead under the bed" or even the unlikely case of "Not now, Mom - I'm doing my homework."
