C++ expression(s)
-
Today i found some really weird expression in some C++-code
if(++(k=j) != node.end())
{
if("something" == *k)
doSomething();
else if("something other" == *k)
doSomethingOther();
}and just ~30 lines below that weird if statement i found this:
k = j;
if(++k != node.end())
{
if("something" == *k)
doSomething();
else if("something other" == *k)
doSomethingOther();
}why always so weird? Why don' to it in an nice way
k = j + 1;
if(k != node.end())
{
if("something" == *k)
doSomething();
else if("something other" == *k)
doSomethingOther();
}In some other code a few days ago i found this
n[idx++] = a[++idx2]++;
where both, a and n, are defined as
void*What are the ugliest C++ expressions that have you seen in the last few weeks/months -
My favourite is the
-->"operator".int counter = 10;
while (counter --> 0)
{
// do something
}Some people consider it ugly.
It's... wonderful. And weird.

That is a mistake. k obviously is a pointer and ++k will not increment this pointer by just 1 byte. It will increment it by the size of the type of k. Try it out and examine the memory address k points to in the debugger in both versions.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

I think you're mistaken. k gets assigned
j + sizeof(*j), notj + sizeof(*k). Hopefully j and k are compatible pointer types. Edit: I'm not sure whatk = j + 1has to do with++k. In any case, ++k does not increment by the size of the type of k, but rather by the size of the type k references. -

Brilliant! I actually Googled to find whether that "operator" really exists in C++! :doh:
You have just been Sharapova'd.

That's evil.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
