I just looked into my last project and also found _asm there. Must be getting old
|
|
|
|
|
While we're talking, couldn't a asm programmer use inline asm{} as the entire code and claim it to be C++ code? (or something like that)
Dim SomethingAboveMyHead As LightBulb<br />
Let Go = Grip.Release()

You mean declaring classes as usual, but then using inline assembly only in the implementation of the methods? Yes, that's certainly possible, but does not make much sense.
90% or even more of the code would not benefit very much from assembly code, so why make it harder to read without a gain? Take the user interface. It usually is idle while waiting for some event to occur. Then it briefly handles the events and sits there and waits for the next event again. Handling events comes in two flavors: Quick enough (so why use assembly?) or much too long. Often so much too long, that no optimization can bring it into the quick enough category. Opening and synchronizing a worker thread for this is certainly better done in C++. If the execution time of this thread then still is an issue, assembly optimization at a few well-selected spots may do the trick. The rsult is a much more maintainable and readable code. Also, there is still the option to use an assembler to write critical functions and to link the object files with your C++ project.
Personally, I don't like mixing up different languages in one source file. My best argument against it is a typical PHP script with HTML, PHP and occasionaly embedded JavaScript merrily mixed into one ugly spaghetti code. I would even prefer to use Visual Basic and gladly suffer all the consequences than ever to do serious work with PHP.

REPLACE(dvel.Notes, '

T-SQL: Replaces newline with space.

In what language? 
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, T-SQL. Fixed now.

Bah, small fries.
I've seen:
Something = ISNULL(somecolumn, NULL)
|
|
|
|
|
What if the newline was also followed by a carriage return. Would you end up with a sequence of space, carriage return? That's pretty bizarre. 
|
|
|
|
|
It's replacing a 'literal' new line, so it would replace the CRLF combo with a space. The horror is not explicitly saying, DON'T REMOVE THIS LINE BREAK!

\n would have been better here

Then the replace should happen before the data hits the database.
|
|
|
|
|
Technically, it is. The query is to extract data destined for a target database that doesn't like newlines. It's an edge case, as other target databases are happy with the newlines.

Uah looks terrible.

I don't see it, obviously the guy who wrote that used XVI32 and doesn't see anything wrong with it...

That's the horror. What don't you see? The ambiguity between a line wrap and a line break in a SQL statement?

Well, I mean the guy who wrote it must have been using a Hex editor and the link break was just another two bytes to him, as he could only see "0D 0A" which looks normal, to him...

Future extension?

Just because it does nothing doesn't mean nothing can go wrong!

This is to catch the possibility of that the function failed to return.
The code in the catch should then be
protected void Foo()
{
PreProcess(arg);
}
private void PreProcess(string arg)
{
try
{
return;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
main();
}
}
codito ergo sum

|
|
|
|
Yeah there are many exceptions that can be thrown by the return instruction...
|
|
|
|
|
The function will ALWAYS return. The try{ return; } are the first 3 lines in the method & where the PreProcess() is called is already wrapped in a try..catch block.
