<looking down=""> Dang! I chased FAR too many pointers!

|
And I thought it was age that caused that "southern migration" of my hair.
Not much on my head any more, but I think my ankles are getting hairier.
|

|

reminds me of one of my coworkers, said to have 'inverted hair': it was thick and black and ran from his earlobes and downwards.
|

Understand.
I've been trying to figure out why I have more hair growing out of my ears and nose that I have growing out of the top of my head. Near as I can figure, it's because the testosterone pump isn't as strong as it used to be.

It's just gravity, stand on your head more.
( Of course, my brain cells have been going down hill for years now ... )

some days ago some young collegue casted his enum to mine and I wondered why the program crashed.

That's half the fun!

pretty sure that's something they teach you not to do in school, funny

And when it breaks, everyone will be pointing at it.

I had a legacy program that had void****** as part of a sort routine.
It worked, i didn't now how.
The guy that wrote it was long gone and i spent a afternoon trying to figure out how it worked.
In the end i left it alone.

Really wise.
Never touch a running system, unless you really know how to fix it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's the fun! Make a change and watch it break and fix the break is the only way to understand ancient code.

Well, I didn't say put it in production. But haha, that is a potentiality.

That looks like a documentation trick to me. "I don't care what the heck is on the other side of the pointer". What was the max dereference level in the actual usage? A single level?

Such a right-thinking person. 
Are you implying that there are languages that don't allow this, and force you to serialize using JSON or some other drool?!

something like that, yes.

The one about Forth is right on the mark.

The C++ one is even more accurate when pointers are involved !
