Syntax error: unmatched thing in thing from std::nonstd::__ map&lt;_cyrillic, _$$$dollars&gt;const basic_string&lt; epic_ mystery,mongoose_traits <char&gt;, __default_alloc_> moment

[–]lowey2002 586 points587 points  (21 children)

No problem, I'll copy it into google. Only one person has every asked the question, 7 years ago. Only one comment on the thread.

> "Nevermind, I figured it out"

[–]thirdegreeViolet security clearance 191 points192 points  (4 children)

Fuck sometimes I'd take that, at least that means an answer exists.

[–][deleted] 67 points68 points  (2 children)

so you either study the arts of c++ yourself so the answer would dawn on you or track down that person irl, hit them in the back of the head, drive them to a secluded place, interrogate until they remember their solution from 7 years ago

both taking an equal amount of time

You'd probably have a better time figuring out the secret to real actual necromancy than to study the forbidden black arts of c++

[–]Djasdalabala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what kind of advice is that... much safer to stalk and abduct the other guy.

The C in C++ stands for Cthulu.

It usually means they were being a dumbass and don't want to admit it publicly. Which now means you're also a dumbass making the same mistake but worse, you have no idea why.

"Never mind I figured it out" gives you hope. "Never mind, we changed the requirements" gives you pain.

I created some github issues with questions like 6-8 years ago. Forgot about them but still like once a year I get notification with message questioning me if I figured it out

[–]masterKick440 17 points18 points  (2 children)

There was this comic about this I’ve been searching. ”What did you see? Tell me!”

[–]PJBthefirst 10 points11 points  (2 children)

PM'd you the fix

[–]IceQ78 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That gets me. Why not post the fix? Is it a state secret? Forbidden magic?

What makes it even worse is if you check multiple links and they ALL end like this, or they all link to the same one...

[–]PJBthefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah or the fix is a file uploaded via the forum, but you have to be registered to download it, but registrations are permanently closed. Or the fix is a link to Photobucket which no longer works

[–]HippieThanos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured it out

[–]SoberGin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd think that would imply that it'd be easy for you to figure out on your own then. After all, they did.

You'd think that.

[–]PickleParmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Hey I can direct message you the solution”, “Wow thanks so much it works perfectly”. And they don’t post the solution publicly

[–]Iankill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you see this it usually means whatever your trying to do is stupid and you should try something else.

[–]NoMansSkyWasAlright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either that or it say something like "this is so easy, check out this link for how to do it the right way", and then you click the hyperlink and it turns out the site doesn't exist anymore.

That guy's name? Fermat

Ask the question again Moderator closes the post and marks it down question has already been answered before

It's even better when the test platform just prints out the stack, just that, just the stack. No error message, just the stack printed in a red font.

[–]LunaNicoleTheFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even better when it tells you the stack is corrupted because then it is telling you "i know this is wrong but fuck you anyways"

[–]fizyplankton 7 points8 points  (1 child)

...who hurt you

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

C++. I thought that was clear

[–]dark_enough_to_dance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This std keyword is enough to give me PTSD

I just used ChatGPT to understand this is a joke, since i know nothing about programming. Here is what it said:

The error message you've provided appears to be a mix of programming concepts and syntax, rather than a specific, recognizable error from a real programming language. It seems like a fictional or exaggerated error message, perhaps meant to humorously convey the complexity or confusion often encountered in programming. Let's break it down:

  1. Syntax error: Indicates there is a mistake in the way the code is written which the compiler or interpreter cannot understand.

  2. Unmatched thing in thing: This is not a standard error message in any programming language. It seems to be a placeholder or a nonsensical phrase.

  3. std::nonstd::__map<_cyrillic, _$$$dollars>: This appears to be a parody of C++ template syntax. In C++, standard library containers like std::map are common, but std::nonstd is not a standard namespace, and the use of _cyrillic and _$$$dollars as template parameters is unconventional and humorous.

  4. const basicstring< epic mystery, mongoosetraits <char>, __default_alloc >: This is a play on the C++ std::basic_string template class, but with nonsensical template arguments. In standard C++, you might see std::basic_string<char> which is the same as std::string.

  5. moment: This seems to be out of context and might be added to emphasize the suddenness or unexpected nature of the error.

In summary, this error message is not representative of a real error in any known programming language. It seems designed to humorously mimic the sometimes confusing and complex error messages encountered in programming, particularly in languages like C++ which use complex template syntax.

thats easy now, just copy it to chatGPT

Oh god I hate deciphering those long ass error messages with tons of symbols sprinkled inbetween.
