Re: I get docked for style a lot when I code, but look at Microsoft's reference source

I could have sworn I turned you into a newt.

Maybe i was daydreaming.

When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

using postfix-inc in array indexer like _array[index++],

Well, array[++index] does something different than array[index++], so what's the issue with postfix when you want the index to increment after accessing the value at that index?

int[] foo = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
Console.WriteLine(foo[++i]);
Console.WriteLine(foo[j++]);

THat's rather my point, innit?

Readability and maintainability are contrary to pulling stunts like that

My three rules.

The code must be readable to a junior dev
The code must be correct (ie safe, efficient and actually do its job)
The code must be consistent

I'll put up with some really, really bad coding practices if they at least follow the 3 rules. I find it intensely painful switching between modules, files or even methods to find totally different styles and assumptions. It slows down reviews and is like a pot-holed road: you get thrown around and things break.

On point 1 you and I are going to disagree.

I can't even read LALR(1) generation code. I can't even read the algorithm it's based off of. That's how messy the problem is.

No junior developer will be able to dissect LALR(1) table generation code. Someone with a masters in CS might recognize what it is, and be able to point out the various steps of the algorithm in the routine, but it's the algorithm itself that is the problem, not the code that implements it.

Something tells me that Windows isn't open source not just to protect MS's IP...

Today I just rocked.

var meth = binder.BindToMethod(BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static, binder.GetMethodGroup(
	code.Namespaces[1].Types[0],
	"Bar",
	BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static),
	ref args, null, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,null);
Console.WriteLine(CodeDomUtility.ToString(meth));

I implemented reflection binding over CodeDOM objects as though they were real types.

I even support the #)(%*@)#% BindingFlags enumeration

Above is just calling the stupid thing. You should see what the code to make it work looks like.

What it does:

say in your codedom you have

class Foo 
{
   public int Bar(string foo)
   {
      Console.WriteLine(foo);
      return foo.GetHashCode();
   }
   public string Bar(int foo)
   {
      Console.WriteLine(foo);
      return foo.ToString();
   }
}

Based on a group of methods with the same name, and a set of arguments or types you give it, match the signature to what you passed in, and return the appropriate method that best matches the signature, including doing widening conversions on primitive types, and skipping type checking on null arguments.

This is H-A-R-D

But I did it. Woo. Does it for indexed properties as well.

Gosh I never want to have to implement a binder again.

so, you're ~~cooking~~, erm, coding meth ?

That's not even the worst of them. I've used die as short for delegate-invoke-expression recently. I've used f-c at least once that i can recall, p-s probably dozens more. Laugh | :laugh:

I'm still impressed that someone at Microsoft managed to slip both PIDL and SHITEMID past their corporate overlords. Smile | :)

haha and I'm such a microsoftie i didn't even think anything of PIDL until you just said something.

I woke up and had an email saying a book I co-authored was FINALLY published after a year delay! (don't worry, we revised it so it's not a year behind)
So that's pretty awesome.
Because it was supposed to be released a year ago I already did a book presentation in January Laugh | :laugh:

This afternoon I went for the AZ-301 exam, Azure Architect Design.
I passed, and with my AZ-300 exam that I passed two weeks ago I can now officially call myself an Azure Solutions Architect Big Grin | :-D

Then I got a call from my dad, who got a call from someone he used to work with who thought about me, who got a call from a customer...
Long story short, I'm calling a company tomorrow (who is a former customer from a previous employer) who may or may not need my services, possibly leaving me with a new customer.
Of course it's very premature to say anything about it, but it's nice to know my name is out there and people think about me Big Grin | :-D

So did nothing go wrong today?
Unfortunately, I got wet in the rain and I spent most of my day wearing wet pants, being cold and having a ridiculous hair cut Sigh | :sigh:

Ah well, I'm dry and warm now so all's well that ends well Big Grin | :-D

Best,
Sander
