I hate "C" code

[loket]

Yes, those fucking defines. The only one i ever use is #define private public in my stdafx.h when i have to work with code from the other monkeys. /M

You WHAT ?????? If I was your boss, when I found that code, you would be advised to start looking in the want ads.

:wtf: Max. But then I read the other answers ! :-D

In hindsight, probably not.

Yep, MFC does it for debug builds snippet from some code I had laying around

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif

It works because to my knowledge the preprocessor does all of its work before anything language specific gets handled. James - out of order -

I saw this at work last week: #define void int :wtf::omg: That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig. [Christopher Duncan on how to prevent yourself from ending up in a sig]

Ugh. That's pretty fucked up right there...! Shog9 ------

I wish I could just give him/her a smack-upside-the-head with a "what were you thinking foo!?" :-D That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig. [Christopher Duncan on how to prevent yourself from ending up in a sig]

Actually, I think it works because new is a function which can be overloaded and overridden. "After all it's just text at the end of the day. - Colin Davies "For example, when a VB programmer comes to my house, they may say 'does your pool need cleaning, sir ?' " - Christian Graus

typedef hides implementation details, and it may save a lot of typing (ponder the case where you figure you want to replace std::list with std::vector for whatever reason. A lot less to change in the code if you typedef it). It's not all obfuscated. -- standing so tall, the ground behind no trespassers, on every floor a garden swing, and another door she makes it clear, that everything is hers A place of abode, not far from here, Ms. Van de Veer

Haha! I'll have to try that trick some day... ;D Another interesting trick would be to #define public private and see if the other programmers will figure out what the hell is wrong. Muhahah!

No. It's just like James T Johnson says. The preprocessor handles the text before it passes it on to the compiler. -- standing so tall, the ground behind no trespassers, on every floor a garden swing, and another door she makes it clear, that everything is hers A place of abode, not far from here, Ms. Van de Veer

Now that can't have any validity. Unless it's used to drive someone else to insanity.. :) -- standing so tall, the ground behind no trespassers, on every floor a garden swing, and another door she makes it clear, that everything is hers A place of abode, not far from here, Ms. Van de Veer
