joke code

Hmm? I don't get it. It looks like code I encounter on a daily basis...

It's like making holocaust jokes in front of holocaust survivors.

Uh no...

3rd post, and Godwin's law takes effect already. And it's a thread about programming.

Besides normal classic jokes, there is a funny thing that only we programers can laugh at. Here are two code jokes I made up:


try{
obj.Run(x);
catch
{
obj.Run(x);
}


That, depending on what the function call does, may actually be valid code (though it may not be smart code, it is valid and might be intentional). Unlike your second example, it actually has an effect on the code.

I thought this thread was about things like this:
#define NULL 0xFFFFFFF
#define true false
#define if(x) if(!(x))
#define while(x) if(x)

My favorite is still by far:

#define false random()%2
#define true random()%2

This one is a classic too:

#define break continue

My favorite is "while(1);"... placed on any random line, about 80 tabs out.

For bonus points, include a comment mocking the intended victim, preferably one calling into question the ethics of his mother around farm animals.

oh my god, don't tell me you secretly put that into someone code.. oh.. the debugging...

this one is less useful, I think there is a breakpoint or something that you can stop and the editor will show the location of the code.

Depends on whether your intent is to drive them mad, or to deliver a more vicious payload

Guys, don't go into comedy.

oh my god, don't tell me you secretly put that into someone code.. oh.. the debugging...

I've seen worse examples:
// In the middle of a giant header nobody wants to
// look into but that's included about everywhere
#define if(x) if((x) && (rand() & 0x7FFF) != 0x1234)
Good luck debugging that.

And you're the only programmer on the team!
