Got a new wordpress plugin from http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/, let’s see how it works, by drawing on a recent facepalm bug that existed for many years in the codebase..
#ifdef linux struct SomePThreadContainer { pthread_mutex_t mutex; int other_data[32]; }; #define ODD_DATA_SIZE sizeof(SomePThreadContainer) #else #define ODD_DATA_SIZE sizeof(HANDLE) #endif class OddWrapper { byte m_oddAbsraction[ODD_DATA_SIZE]; public: void DoStuff(); }; class OddContainer { OddWrapper oddOne; bool b1; OddWrapper oddTwo; public: void VerifyOneWorksOnUse(); void VerifyTwoFailsOnUse(); // but will work if b1 is changed from a bool to an int };
Many bothans were NEEDLESSLY lost to bring you this bug. 🙂
I let this page go idle for way too long. So long that an old (unpatched) install of a web app let some junk in & started auto-posting spam everywhere 🙁
So I’m starting over with a fresh WordPress install in a new user directory 🙂 Sure, I’ll start over – but that’s OK. I’m a horrible writer and the world is better off for not having to read all of my musings. That’s what Facebook and Google+ are for.
This time I’ll lean on Dreamhost’s commitment to automaticaly keep all my One-Click installs up to date.
Sorry about the theme. I’m a programmer, just be glad it’s not RGB(255,0,255) and RGB(0,0,255) with Comic Sans. 😉
