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.

I'm glad it made sense to you. It wouldn't have compiled, but it conveyed the idea, it seems, because you're exactly right about how it works. And it's bril, because you don't need to include a header for a common base to use it.

I agree with you about the linking. I write a lot of IoT code, and i couldn't without it.
Real programmers use butterflies
