What programming terms would you consider equivalent to foul language? For example: Legacy Code

like the word gay has lost it's original meaning - a shame it is... so to is the word "net" ... now when I hear "net" or "dot net" I shrudder
Know way too many languages... master of none!

Next you'll be wanting to drop the semicolon and case sensitivity.

So I guess at CP does not ask programmers to write documents. Are you hiring? :)

Nobody should ask programmers to write documents. Documents written by programmers are the bane of my existence.

Kidding ? :omg: Coding without it is like using FORTRAN: do not catch anything, or enclose all code in try/catch, just in case ;P

IUnkown was fine - it was IQueryInterface that introduced all the problems. ;P

QueryInterface() was a part of IUnknown... ;P

SIGSEGVSIGBUS wasn't so hot either.

Actually, I'd rather like the

I got over that very quickly and now can't figure why people miss it. Just use a short named local.

Parts of it - you can't do method invocation with it.

You can use an initialiser for your Nodes collection as well.

Are you mad Sir?

I mean - it's a pretty awful thing to wish upon a developer...

(There was supposed to be some sexual connotation in there. :~ ) But I do dislike the prolific use of the things.

Drop the semi-colon? And be forced _ to resort to VB's _ horrible style of _ line continuations!?!? No thanks. Though the case sensitivity... I wouldn't have to deal with code where people name the private variables the same as the exposed properties, with just case differences... Or better yet, gems like:
int num = Num + NUM;
Thankfully, I've never actually seen a line that bad, but imagine a program written like that... There's something you can't do in VB.

You so could write it like that in VB. But it would be tantamount to
num *= 2err I meannum = num * 2Curses to VB and it's lack of shorthand arithmetic operators!

Prolific maybe, but between them and partial classes, I get quite extended.

Showing my age here: - anything in setjmp.h - ie setjmp, longjmp, etc basically a goto on steroids! - VARIANT_BOOL .... why oh why is VARIANT_TRUE -1 not 1 which is what TRUE is defined as, source of much pain in the past - oh and anything COM related actually! - MFC (need I say more...)
