The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Spent about 45 min trying to figure out why title was lost after returning at the end of the functionBlush | :O .

DoSomething(Text *text_store, int seven)<br />
{<br />
   char *text;<br />
   text = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char) * seven);<br />
//more code<br />
   text_store.title = text;<br />
   free(text);<br />
} <br />

And yes text_store.title is a pointer

this thing looks like it was written by an epileptic ferret
