Look what I found
@error that's wild. I wonder how this would be treated by different formatters/style enforcers and if it would break

@error At the time this was written (for hardware & compilers were pre SSA) this could have been reasonable.

@error yup that's how Contiki implemented Protothreads initially:

@error That's super neat, I didn't know! I'll probably use this in my code at a some point...

@error this should be classified as an infohazard

Three lines too many. I thought serious programmers were lazy.

@error It's an utter pain in the arse when writing a compiler too, and even worse is when goto gets involved.

@mikee I actually tried it. It works just fine to my surprise. But the clangd formatter gone mad:
-
@_the_cloud Yeah, but if you click the link, they actually use default case there.
@error @_the_cloud Only in the original example, not in the first two. I'd set it to 3 and chuckle too. I'm an FPGA guy, so I always think about else/default.

@error ha! Thanks for testing!

@vaporeon_ please don't =)

@error I don't think I ever would have tried to pass that off, myself, but I sort of admire the fact that, even though it's language abuse, it produces a predictable outcome. C has a lot of undefined behavior, but somehow, this isn't.
I think I tried to use Duff's Device in a project once, but my colleagues objected and made me change it. Or maybe I just explained Duff's Device to them and they were horrified. Like, "I don't know if I can trust that guy anymore" horrified. It was a long time ago.
This is interesting but it's not really saving a ton of time or code space. I think Duff's Device is probably more defensible.

@WesternInfidels It produces warning, so I personally won't use it. But it looks beautiful

@Colman @Tattie @ariaflame @cstross
That calls back to the hubris I mention up-thread. They 'know better'…
FWIW? It isn't only fascists who ignore inconvenient facts. All of us do it in one way or another. It's a very human cognitive failure mode.
And it's a big reason I push Stoicism as a humanistic day-to-day philosophy. Because acknowledging your own faults is the first step in overcoming them.
The people we're talking about are Emoitionalists. They believe their feelings define reality.

@jackwilliambell @Tattie @ariaflame @cstross this isn’t about different interpretations of agreed facts. This is outright denial of facts and complete disregard for any higher order consequences of their actions.
