I was looking at some legacy code that I re-wrote for a project and found this gem. There were also variables named bob, mike, jane etc...
string hi;
if(true)
{
hi = "hi";
}
else
{
hi = "hi";
}

I have decided to write a compiler that handles a robotic arm to slap the developer when this kind of code is fed to it. 
|
|
|
|
|
What if the robot became very picky on which code is right? What if it start to slap everyone even his master and creator and then go on a slap-kill spree? Be careful or you may create a machine that will kill us all!

That reminds me of an idea I had at our office - extended validation using a keyword capable of administering mild electric shocks every time a user does something like use a "." in a text field they can't be bothered to fill in.

I have a 200kg capable anthropomorphic robot in the basement I can lend it to you, don't hesitate to ask for it, of course given the fact you will allow me to use it before some times...
Please, put a MadSlapMode in the software in which the robot will start slapping everyone at a fast pace without even making a single question.

That's good to write readable code. Bob, short for Robert, meaning: "bright fame". So it's a variable used as a loop counter.
Jane has the meaning of "God is Great" it's used for holding global program-status.
Everybody knows that someone with the name mike drinks to much alcohol. So it's used for error-handling.
The meaning of Jina is "named child", so child-objects are called that way, while root-objects are called adam and an objects that controls other objects is called eve.
If you use those variable-names, everyone knows the meaning.

The best function I had was. It was in VBA, so translated to C#
public void ApriTiQuandoTiDicoIo()
{
...
}
It's Italian for "OpenWhenITellItToYou()", and it did exactly that: Open a File only when I (the developer) wants it.
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

While looking into some production issues and after much looking into the few functions that span over 700-1000 lines, I stumbled upon the root cause. Oh my what a priceless gem!
private static int somefunction(some params)
{
int iKey = -1;
try
{
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
return iKey;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return iKey;
}
finally
{
}
return iKey;
}

What a 'crazy code' it is... 
Compiler shouldn't have allowed return statements in catch

Developers who would like to keep their jobs writing production code should have a clue about exception handling.

I think he missed "return iKey" in the finally clause 
|
|
|
|
|
If it's C#, you can't have a return in a finally clause.

look at the code below:
int main(){
char *c=new char[10];
delete [10,05]c;
return 0;
}
compile fine in visual studio 2008
and error in gcc.
I wish I could believe there is an after life.

|
|
|
|
What happens during execution?
|
|
|
|
|
With Visual studio, work fine,
with g++ compilation error
I wish I could believe there is an after life.
|
|
|
|
|
It runs successfully without errors then... Wow!

This is a (rather pointless) MS extension to C++: Pointless extension[^]
In your case, the comma operator will just throw away so the 10, so it becomes:
delete [05] c;
(Where 05 is an octal number)
And in fact will be ignored, rendering the result exactly the same as:
delete [] c;
"Ours not to reason why".

Sh** I remember that ','
I school days, first curse in all year using Visual C++... beautiful monitors of 14" at 1024*768...
We were calculating taxes for students based on Age and grade...
There were some students that were paying always 0.00 ... we debug (we were students, still stupids at debuging)... noting show wrong...
After like 5 hours... I went to play Ping Ping.. I returned, found my 2 teammates debugging.. then I notices and ask:
Guys is that payment * 0.05 or payment * 0,05... I learned that day that VC++ when 0,05 does Payment * 0 * 05.. then everything become 0!!!!
