More likely a C++ problem: the counter is an unsigned int32, but it was passed to the formatting function as a signed int32... Now have fun with reading 2^32-1 emails.

If you would be so kind to publish your address here I would gladly help ... as would millions of others ... that said, (sub)empty inbox would bother you no more

...you look at the commit log, see a couple of messages saying "addressed a few bugs", check what they are and find out that the 'solution' was to comment some lines out!!!! 
|

Or when I look at my log and it says addressed a few bugs but there is no body text at all! - Because I hate myself I guess.

The YAGNI Strikes Back
Code Trek 2: The Wrath of YAGNI
Code Trek 3: The Search for YAGNI
Code Trek 4: ....whales...really...?
Sorry, derailed a minute there. I was just going to say that YAGNI usually the cause of bugs that can be fixed with comments. Just saying.

Quite possibly. But if the code itself is unneeded then the commented version is even more unneeded...
|
|

On production version: absolutely.
On source version it can give a good idea of plans and thought process. Or it can be a horrible mess, which will still give the next people who look at it a hint as to the thought process of the author. By and large I tend to find commented code more useful than actual code comments

Ah, you're one of those who can't stand leaving commented code in place.

Yep, that's what source control history is for (with an appropriate comment).

I just created a module called "FileEventStreamProviderFactory" 
|
|
|
|

You might be insane  , but it is descriptive; however, I don't think I've ever read a class name with 30 characters before.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I find that hard to believe. They seem a common occurrence to me.

Did you at least bury it way down deep in a long namespace?

It is in Namespace Azure.File
It's not even close to being the longest named class - I think that is "InMemoryIdentifierGroupSnapshotReaderFactory"

We have one called "EstimatedYearlyCreditOpportunityImportDataSaver"

personally I don't see what's wrong with that - too short, its not descriptive enough, at least that says what the class is/does - even if you said "FESStreamProviderFactory", would you remember what acronym FES stood for, 2 years from now, without re-examining the source ?

It's just syntactic sugar over
public static class ...

|
|
|

Not quite. It's more like a combination of public static class and using static - the members of a Module don't need to be qualified with the module name.

Was wondering why one of my unit tests was passing even when nonsense values were passed in...found:-
if (row != null)
{
if (!row.IsNull(fieldName))
{
double fieldValue = (double)row[fieldName];
}
}
What indeed....
