Comments That Make You Smile :)

[Renegade]

So, I'm back to cleaning up other people's messes yet again and going through source code, when I find in the source for one of the commercial modules purchased:

//the method formats... argh! see the code, it is self-explainig!

[Deozaan]

Haha. When I saw the thread topic I was thinking things along the lines of:

"You look great today!"

"Did you lose weight?"

"I love your sense of humor!"

etc.

A couple of snippets from my own fSekrit that tend to make me smile when I re-discover them:

Code: C++ [Select]

1. // used when saving... I really need a cleaner interface for this, but I also
2. // really need to ship version 1.0 before deadline. Sigh :P
3. extern unsigned g_ugly_w, g_ugly_h, g_ugly_x, g_ugly_y;
4. extern bool g_ugly_maximized;  // [1.2] - something needs a cleanup...

and the related (line 8):

Code: C++ [Select]

1. struct FileHeaderV1
2. {
3.         char signature[8];              // header_v1_signature
4.         char hash[sha256::hashbits/8];  // plaintext hash
5.         unsigned size;                  // size of data, padded to crypt blocksize
6.         unsigned realsize;              // "real" size of data, unpadded
7.         unsigned flags;                 // bitmask of FL_* constants
8.         unsigned w, h;                  // saved width and height... mouser wants this
9. };

mouser wants this

Hahaha~!

Y'know, programmers can have a pretty foul mouth too sometimes -- NSFW code comments 1 and 2.

It's pretty funny to see how people get flustered!

[Renegade]

Oh! Oh! Oh! This one is funny:

NSFW

peer = Peer(switch)
cb = CallBack()
peer.send("fuck you, asshole.", cb)
switch.wait_for_responses()

The irony is killer!

Foreign languages got you down?

This one rocks!

4. extern unsigned long asid_cache;
5. extern pgd_t *current_pgd;

I was given the source to an application made by my friend & Delphi mentor, BugHunter. Looking through her code is always fun. It's often loaded with odd comments, strange error messages, and easter eggs.

code for NSFW error message

Code: Delphi [Select]

1. procedure TForm1.AppException(Sender: TObject; E: Exception);
2. begin
3.  application.messagebox('BugMX produced an error'#13'Just restart...Bug will fix it :-p','Shit happened',mb_IconError);
4. end;

And I found this comment that still I have no clue what it was supposed to mean:

//JKL :-) :-| :-(

A few I don't remember making, but must have. . . a quick grep has left me mildly amused.

# It's over!

// I should idiot proof this. I'm not sure I'm qualified.
// I'll forget about this anyway.

// I'm one lazy bastard.

# 'I'm sorry'" => "I'm thinking . . . fuck you, asshole"

// Any idiot could figure out how to do this [more cleanly]
// And I really mean ANY idiot.
// I need to try this bit sober some time.

[Renegade]

Code: C# [Select]

1. // I need to try this bit sober some time.

HAHAHAHA~!

Been there! I coded a web app 1 time where I was doing massive damage control. The guy that was supposed to do it totally dropped the ball.

2 months work and:

20% of code done
0% worked

 

Needless to say I was more than simply angry...

I sat at home waking up in the morning then starting to code... Round 10pm I'd start drinking until I finished at around 2~4am. I got a LOT of the app done half blitzed. Strangely enough, I had no problems with bugs. (I coded very conservatively to save time.)
