I once coded a class function in C++ that calls realloc() or malloc(), based on whether "this" points to null. It then deletes this and returns This.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not only that, it calls _msize() on the this pointer and checks against another size parameter for the realloc.
The last member in the class was a 0-byte array, for which the _msize() of the pointer minus size of other class members gave the array size.

Couldn't you use a singleton of some related class hierarchy that implements the "static" code?
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Well sure, but that's obviously working around a language limitation. If you're making instances of classes that store no state, you should be using static inheritance instead, and the only reason we don't is that it's not supported.

Delphi allowed virtual static methods... so I think it probably allowed abstract static methods too.

Never happened to me (YET), however, what has happened and more frequently that what I would like is to spend an entire day trying to fix something to no success but the minute I step outside, I know the answer

That's actually part of why I spend time here: it breaks my concentration on a problem and lets me think about other things. That means I don't get "fixated" on "this must be why" and my subconscious is free to "bing" me and say "Try this, not that".
Improves my creativity no end, just not concentrating on a problem!

I agree and I try to do something similiar at times, trying to find a distraction but that would still be related to work, just to "unfocus" while still focused 
But not always seen w/ good eyes around here

I work for myself, so I give myself special permission to "goof off".

Started working here the week after they had their Christmas party so I can't give you any feedback on that one, yet!

And that's how I defend smoking a pack a day

That's what I used to do - take a cigarette break every hour. When I gave up, I realized I wasn't getting as much work done, because I wasn't taking a break!
So rather than take up smoking again (and having seen the price they are charging for them these days, I can think of much, much better things to do with the money) I take a break without the cancer-stick.

Well, sorry to say this to you, but you don't get paid for work done in your sleep, and theres a good reason for that

Usually the code I dream about is good but occasionally I waste time on a bomb, depends what I had been drinking the night before? 
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

Yes, for exactly the same thing. Was such a perfect solution to the problem.
Except that it wasn't. Obviously. I even still have the code in place, safely commented out, just to remind me.
cheers

Make it more dynamic. Instead of static abstract, make it a static property of a delegate type.

I also made that mistake once....
