1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I have no idea how to reliably examine post JIT'd asm in .NET - I haven't really tried yet, but I would be really interested to know how it handles forwarded virtual calls that don't change the stack frame and don't do anything other than forward.
Some methods can be resolved using a jump because all they do is forward calls to another method.
This can happen a lot in OOP when you have base classes calling derived classes through virtual functions.
In those cases, instead of doing two jumps to get to the final method, such that target->base->derived, it could know just to do target->derived directly?
I'm inclined to believe it won't, for reasons, but if it did it would be a fine excuse to go really deep with your derived classes.
I was wondering because I'm rewriting some tokenizer code and I was thinking of going two levels deep in my derived classes (again for reasons) but tokenizers shouldn't waste clock cycles they don't need to waste. (It's bad enough writing one in C#)
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.

just finished a binge watch of mr. mercedes season 3. Good, easy, plausible.
- yeah season 2 was a bit implausible, but s3 barely brings that up, all of 2 brief mentions
but best part is it ended, no loose strings, everything closed,and no new plot teasers...
It actually ended! Refreshing. No waiting for more.
so used to there being some new twist revealed [right at the end], unfinished / branch [sub] plot, or sometimes straight-up in-your-face hints pointing to [the producers milking] a new season
only to have the executives claim 'not enough audience' (reality not enough $).
otoh also fair to add a lot of the MM cast were pretty old of a more senior persuasion; nothing kills a series faster then a lead actor kicking the bucket mid stream - maybe a risk management call?

You would not say that if you knew Mr Mercedes. No doubt he will have another 1000 changes to everything I delivered him today. For the rest of the year he is out of luck. I still had a few free days left. See you in january. 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Now I'm a little scared. Because code that I knew was broken is working but when I "fixed" it the whole thing falls on its face.
The problem is, given a bit of code, find all variables declared within the scope of that code.
Prior, i was just getting all the variables in the routine. I knew it was wrong, but i hadn't worked out the problem yet.
Now I have, so I went back to update the code. As soon as I put it in Slang's patcher stops finding some of my variables!
So I test the variable tracer some more. It works as good as I could have hoped.
Which means somewhere, something else doesn't. And I barely know where to begin to look because of how this works.
Worse, currently my repro requires running a very particular bit of slang code as part of my lexer generator - "Rolex"'s operation, which means i had to pull that out and duplicate it in a scratch binary to debug, but it's still not very narrowed down. I can't quite find the bit where i need to test in the debugger.
The trouble is visitors are nasty when things go wrong. The visitor works right, it's the code that's firing on visit that's bad somewhere, and that happens inside a visit so the call stack is a nightmare.
And it's friday the 13th. Just my day. Maybe I should stay off the computer.
Building stuff like this is rough.

With the ranger options available, I'd say you made a Boo Boo with that post.

Shouldn't that be 'loaded for Berra'? Though I'm not sure as I'm feeling just av er age today.

He's making a database.
He's sorting it twice.
SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE behavior = 'nice'
SQL Clause is coming to town!
Sorting twice, SELECT *, seems Santa is getting coal this year!

I have proof that Santa works for the NSA:

He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

You're right, I didn't see it. Having checked on imdb, there is also a version 2 dating back to 2002.
On the other hand, the only film I can think of in 1994, is Pulp Fiction; not the same audience
