    Oops! It was like this:

    // Sometimes carry out the work \
    if (flag)
    {
    SomeWork();

      People here don't read error messages, so even if i set that they would just ignore

            That's the whole point: if you set "treat warnings as errors" then compilation fails until the warning is fixed. You can't run or test you app until you do.

              And what about those hard core devs who swear by (instead of at) vi? My point wasn't that Notepad++ supports or does not support colourisation. It's that you can't rely on colourisation to indicate problems.

              Hey man, hats off to vi: it provides syntax colouring as well. And you can rely on colourization. Well, unless you write something like

              for (n=0; n<100; ++n);
              {
              doSomething();
              }

              Veni, vidi, vici.

                When you become practised in the art then you simply hold your hands above the keyboard in supplication and the code writes itself out of fear of reprisals. :cool:

                Yes, we do know PMs have a quite twisted perception of the software development process. ;P

                  Hey, I like vi. There are parts of it that I wish were available in Visual Studio. dd for instance. Or 10dd to delete 10 lines. Yes, you can do this using other means in an IDE, but they are all more cumbersome.

                  VsVim[^] might be useful for you. It adds Vim commands to VS.

                    My old boss once jokingly said that he was still waiting for the "treat errors as warnings" flag. :D

                    The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

                      I just make sure my code compiles without warnings. If I really cannot avoid a warning, I use a pragma to disable a specific warning, with an explanatory comment.

                        That's a lousy attempt at obfuscation. Here's a real professional at work: IOCCC[^]. (That is a full hardware emulation of a 1980's PC hardware (much more info in the other files in this folder[^]. Some top aspects: It is 4043 bytes long (half an 8086). "It manages to implement most of the hardware in a 1980’s era IBM-PC using a few hundred fewer bits than the total number of transistors used to implement the original 8086 CPU."

                            I have a vi plugin for visual studio. It's called vsvim, and as far as I remember I installed it in the extension manager gui.
