while (*s++ = ((*t & 0x60) == 0x40 ? *t ^ 0x20 : *t)) t++;

It's turning into one of 'those' Friday afternoons. Any takers for what this gem does?

Why that's obvious. It makes you hate the coder who spewed it into your source.

I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

It turns a string to lower case? edit: that is, it copies a string to s as lower case (but I'm still not actually sure)

[realJSOP]

Well, you're right, but why would anyone want to do a bitwise XOR on a character in a string. Is this some sort of half-assed encryption thing, or maybe converting a string from Base64 characters to ascii?

Yeah, that was me. Only for the sake of being cryptic though, although I'm starting to think we need more code like that these days. Beats 'design patterns'.

*t ^ 0x20 maybe upper

I just had the debugger out, cranking it through.

But it only xors with 0x20 if it's already upper case (or a non-ascii char between 0xC0 and 0xDF) Undeserved 2-vote.
