I've seen this type of garbage in VC6, VB6, VB.Net, C#, Java, JavaScript, etc. Garbage is garbage - it doesn't depend on the language.

Recently, I just took over some project whose variables are full of such naming. I took time to rename all of them with descriptive names and guess what? I found a bug! Wrong lock is held for a shared resource: programmer make this mistake bcos all the locks are named from lock1 to lock39. I found out because I renamed the locks according to the resource they are supposed to protect.

Shouldn't the example be in the 'code as war crime' discussion?
Talking of which, I found some code in the Linux Kernel which was obviously written by someone new to C and C++; the error handling was classic VB6 'onerror goto' style.
Open Source; well it works at least, but shouldn't the entry bar be set a little higher than "I'm a VB6 programmer, let's have the party anyway"?

Hey, at least with open source you can find that stuff much easier. If a person knows everyone in the world can see the source code they will try to write the best code they can. When the code is hidden things get much worse.
One time after much wrangling I was finally able to sign an NDA to gain access the source code to some e-commerce software that a customer was using but had become discontinued. I can completely understand their reluctance--even "on error goto" style exception handling would be better than nothing. And, it being e-commerce it would've been nice if the transactions were atomic. Even if I wasn't legally obligated to keep the identity of the "offender" a secret I probably still would--it just be cruel to mock them; they deserve our pity.
I have gained access to closed source via NDA on more than one occasion and horror code has ALWAYS been present and prominent. Every. Single. Time. It is a really big factor in why I do not use closed source software to run my business anymore. It is kind of like how people who have worked in a fast food restaurant chains sometimes stop eating the food there.

Firstly I'm not dissing Open Source. Just making an observation. I'm quite sure that there is similarly 'bad' code hidden in proprietary. I use nothing but OSS at home(except nvidia) and as much as work will let me, which is why I was trawling the kernel. Besides, the section was in an 'Opened' module which had originally been written as proprietary in the 90s.

It certainly works. But when the labelled line merely sets a return value, it would have been more in keeping with C to use multiple return paths.(Perhaps the code was so old the then-compilers couldn't check multiple paths?)
|
|
|
|
|
Well, this is keeping with kernel C style, since having one exit point is a well established pattern (not only) there; it makes it easier to argue about the correctness no matter eventual compiler warnings.

That's what's even worse than the code and the design: it's an invoicing system, and these are for the prices he's going to invoice to the customer ... hence the total
