If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

i have this one piece of code, and it is Bad Code(TM)

it certainly would not survive code review.

It deals with over a half dozen corner cases for disambiguating a parse of a field vs a type reference in C#

it keeps failing and I keep going back and adding another corner case.

such an anti-pattern

my hand rolled parser didn't try to handle this at all. it didn't like open typerefs with generic or array params so like

Console.WriteLine(int.Maxvalue); // ok but thinks it's a field ref of a variable
Console.WriteLine(System.Int32.MaxValue); // okay but same as above
Console.WriteLine(MyGenericType<int>.MaxValue); // won't parse

This parser is supposed to handle it but it's causing it to fail on field references. sometimes.

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.

No wonder the parser can't disambiguate it. They look the same. I can't see how to do it without first resolving names. Within C#, it looks like a type attribute (Maxvalue) masquerades as a field. So for C#, you could probably just treat it that way and get on with life. But if you want to generate the equivalent code in another language, I can see how it would be a PITA.

Basically I treat them as fields until I can't, such that a type has generic arguments or something which precludes it from parsing as a field reference.

Later on i resolve it, and yes it's a pain. Sigh | :sigh:

I don't know how far afield you're going with your project, but the prospect of converting C#

System.Int32.MaxValue

to C++

INT32_MAX

does not fill me with delight. Not in the least.

Luckily I'm only targeting other .NET languages so the basic libraries are all the same.

Can anyone recommend a good USB diagnostics tool for Win 10?

I'm having issues where my headphones will cut out, or I get random pauses with my keyboard & mouse. This PC is only a few months old.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Other things to check are power saving settings (sometimes usb ports can be switched off to save power) and updating drivers.

Try running a Linux distro from a stick.

If the problem doesn't occur then, it will confirm what the problem is.

You got a point. Test the hardware with Linux and check if the intermittence still happens.

It's one of the first things I do when it looks like I've got a hardware problem.

If it works, it's the driver or a software conflict; if it doesn't, it's the hardware.

It can save you going through a lot of pointless steps.
