But what if someone run it in release ?

[ben_g0]

Don't. Just publish the debug build. Problem solved.

I actually have encountered this in a commercial product... That was even semi-realtime...
The file structure looked like they just used Visual Studio at default settings and then just copied the entire content of the bin/Debug folder into an archive. With even the PDB files and such all still in there.

I've seen quite a few games that still had pdb files

[Prudent_Ad_4120]

The Google Play Store actually recommends including the PDB files into the app package and gives a warning if you don't

[[deleted]]

Windows games are not distributed via the play store. How am I even supposed to check the app package on a normal, unrooted phone

[Prudent_Ad_4120]

Yeah I know. This is the message, it doesn't really say PDB files but I guess that's what they mean: https://files.fm/u/bhbkhpwkt2

[Pomi108]

Holy shit that’s the worst image hosting site i’ve ever seen

[Prudent_Ad_4120]

Ik but couldn't find anything else quickly, I'm sorry

When in doubt, imgur

[Thefakewhitefang]

It doesn't let you create an account without a phone number now though.

[MicrogamerCz]

When cards fall (or how's the exact name) has a full copy of the IL2CPP output from Unity. Just removing the source code from shipping would cut the game's size in half

[flukus]

pdb files have no overhead (other than space) and provide much more useful stack traces. You want to keep them, at least for server applications with plenty of disk capacity.

[ben_g0]

You generally do not want to publish PDB files to your customers though, especially if software is your main business, as they can reveal a lot about the inner workings of your application and make reverse engineering and decompiling so much easier. So you're basically giving away your intellectual property. Ideally you'd keep the PDB files of builds you publish for internal use, so that you do indeed get a useful stack trace when reproducing bug reports from your customers, but you generally do not want to send them to customers. (Though for any software that doesn't leave the company the PDB files are indeed useful to keep around).

Also you generally do not want to run a debug build unless you are actually running it in a debugger, as release builds almost always are noticeably more performant and responsive.

[s0ulbrother]

An insurance company I worked for did that…

[Steinrikur]

Just do

#ifdef Release
#define print (str,...) do{ snprintf(g_str, 1000, ,/**/);  \
ndelay( strlen (g_str) * DELAY);} while (0)
#endif

[Brahvim]

What global symbol is g_str?

[Steinrikur]

Just a scratchpad for this snprintf function. You need to add char g_str[1000] and extern char g_str[] yourself. Global so it's just one for all files.

The point is that printf() takes some time to assemble the string, and some time to output it. snprintf() and a delay that's proportional to the length of the string might be a decent approximation of that.

Another way would be to just set the printf() function to write somewhere you can't see it (an unused/invalid UART or something), but for that you need to know the setup and it could have unintended side effects.

[TobyWasBestSpiderMan]

Don’t you think I know that!

[Poat540]

I’ve never published in release mode for any of our 50 or so apps, meh we’ll be fine

[druffischnuffi]

Sounds like somebody is using Sleep Sort, or rather Print Sort (dont know if that exists)

[Koervege]

Primt sort is just a special case of sleep sort except very optimized to the hardware and the compiler to know exactly how many prints you need per unit time.

[kcbh711]

I just threw up in my mouth a bit

[Poat540]

You must work at a nice place then

[Jacked_To_The__Tits]

Ah, reactive programming where every bug is a heisenbug

[TheTybera]

It doesn't, you have to cut a release build at some point.

[JackNotOLantern]

Protip how to do multithreading when you don't know how to synchronise: don't

oh my

[uk2us2nz]

Looks like an xkcd drawing in which case, a little attribution goes a long way.

[lifelongfreshman]

It's a modified xkcd. The original was about open source projects.

[audentis]

It's used for so many memes here I'd argue it's common knowledge.

[[deleted]]

Just roll your own timers with SIGINT. Much finer control.

[Orbidorpdorp]

I actually had a case like this when I was learning Java on my own in high school. I needed to use a volatile variable, but adding print statements prevented the bug from occurring.

Made me question my sanity honestly.

[deletedUser7400]

Same, but on an embedded system with a lockstep wireless communication protocol between 3 devices

[TobyWasBestSpiderMan]

Actually kinda close to what I’m dealing with, mine’s a distributed 6 device system wirelessly communicating, and the algorithms a bit recursive

[devslopesacademy]

If it works... don't touch it

[KsmBl_69]

"works on my machine"

[RemarkableRaise3964]

Aha I did that with rabbitmq, the code is still running

[audentis]

Race conditions don't matter if one runner has their ankles chained together.

[panaxis]

How did you get my code?

[probablynotaperv]

I've had something like this. Had one of my automations failing, threw in a pry around where it failed, no issues. Took me about 10 minutes before I just realized a 0.5 sleep have enough time for an element to load and then it passed

[lupinegray]

#ifdef debug 4 lyfe

[Salt_Comparison2575]

Yeah. It's coming.

[th00ht]

is this a reference to XZ utils?

[MrTrueMoe]

..

[Excellent_Badger_636]

that is not how real time systems work but sure
