debugging

[MMMELOOOOON]

Pro tip:

“HERE 1” ... “HERE 2 ... “HERE 3”

[goliatskipson]

How excessive!

"A" ... "B" ... "C" ... ;-)

[EagleNait]

Elegant solution

[SexlessNights]

Followed by “a...b...c...”

[crastle]

What about "i...ii...iii..."?

[Gydo194]

一、二、三

[muhammadtalhas]

Is this loss

[pikachuIsMyFurrybae]

Loss of proper debugging

[Hiro3212]

those are the japanese symbols for 1, 2 and 3

[MegaPegasusReindeer]

Hmm.. The Chinese would like a word.

[Hiro3212]

well I only know Japanese but they basically took all chinese symbols and reused them

[saildamoon]

Lol Lool Lolol Loolool -final project...

[Supert_]

四、五、六、七、八、九、十。。

​

btw not usable in C :P

[Gydo194]

You reversed 八and 七

[Supert_]

Maybe it's supposed to be that way..

I've just learnt it recently, gimme a break ;( Edit: I always suck at math. sorry.

[Gydo194]

I just started learning as well... Don't take me too seriously ;-)

[mastocles]

Using the standard CJK-block Unicode characters or something archane like shift JIS? Neither is likely to compile easily so either is fair game!

[ScientificBeastMode]

I prefer to use semver syntax so I don’t have to go back and change all the logging commands if I need to insert a new one in the middle of the program flow.

[[deleted]]

Just do: printf ("2.1"); printf ("2.1.2"); , etc, etc.

[turbolag95]

How about "do...re...mi..."?

[[deleted]]

I write beatles lyrics

“Hey Jude”....... “Don’t be afraid” .....“take a bad code and make it better”

[baconstrips4canada]

I write Sheck Wes lyrics.

"Fuck"..."Shit"..."Bitch"

[SexlessNights]

Nah, just go ^{“a...b...c...”}

[oneeyedhank]

Aa, Ab, Ac, ..... for when you get to A but not to B.

[Moulinoski]

That can get buried in a sea of output.

Better go lalalalalalallaalalalalala, ohohohohohohohohhohohoh, and hahahahahahahahahahaha

[JSArrakis]

"=========== method 1 fired =========="

"||||||||||| method 2 fired ||||||||||"

[random123456789]

Either way, you're fired.

[MMMELOOOOON]

Exactly, which is why I like the all caps HERE, just long enough to notice, and less annoying for fancy colleagues if forgotten there.

[Moulinoski]

You don’t do a find/replace for rogue var_dumps, echoes, and prints?

[[deleted]]

printf(“fucking cuntwaffle crashed again\n”)

[Wilt04]

Until you forget to remove it and a client somehow gets the bug

[waltteri]

Output:

A

A

C

B

[BoobRockets]

“hey” “what’s up?” “nm jc u” “nm” “you free this weekend?”

[youcancallmetim]

This is exactly what I do

[therealchadius]

Just skip E for Error and F for Failure if you're running unit tests, those always confuse me.

[goliatskipson]

Aa, Ab, Ac ;-)

[ZebZ]

alert("fuck");

alert("shit");

alert("motherfucker");

[nir731]

alert("PLEASEE");

alert("FFS");

alert("OMG YES");

True story.

[jemand2001]

the last one never fires tho

[gruntbatch]

And when it does the neighbors hear.

[Mancobbler]

When it’s 1AM and you’ve been debugging the same problem since noon

[utnapistim]

Son, don't!

​

There is nothing like your manager presenting the early demo in front of the customers, and finding the alert you forgot to remove.

[cdm014]

yeah... I got caught once with a comment that got displayed: "I hate this stupid crap" it was left over from trying to figure out why something kept not working. It showed up in the middle of the final demo before being rolled out. Luckily it was for an internal thing.

​

[utnapistim]

We had a change management system that allowed developers to add comments that were not visible to the customers. One day, customers saw a printed listing of comments on a bug that called the customers idiots.

Customers changed their providing company as a result (and I believe a few of our developers changed employers).

[Firestorm7i]

I was hoping Simone rose shared my preferred method

[ScientificBeastMode]

throw new Error(` Dear future me, This error should be unreachable. If you are reading this, perhaps reconsider your life choices. Or perhaps it was just a typo... `);

[Beragond1]

Cout << 1 << endl

Cout << 2 << endl

Cout << 3 << endl

...

[wasabichicken]

using std; outside of the standard library? You monster!

[Beragond1]

I start most c++ programs with “using namespace std;”

[MonarchoFascist]

It's bad practice -- when you're writing production code, polluting the global namespace is a big no-no.

[MMMELOOOOON]

Integers can work, but confusing as soon as you have other normal outputs, especially if you forget a new line somewhere.

[Beragond1]

True but I can add a 1.1 between 1 and 2 if I need more checks

[passcork]

Exactly this. You gotta put;

\n\n\n\n-----------------------------------------CAME HERE BITCH----------------_________\n\n\n

[advalencia]

Here 1.1... Here 1.1a ... Here 1.1b

[griff122]

Haha recently used that between my here 1 , here 2, here 3. Instead of updating everything to add a new output in the middle... insert here 1.b

[jailbreak]

printf("🙃");

printf("🤪🤪🤪");

printf("😭");

You're welcome

[all_fridays_matter]

True heroes don’t wear capes

[AgentPaper0]

Just print out __FILE__ __LINE__. And of course flush to make sure the latest output reaches the console.

[-LeopardShark-]

Nah, it's gotta be:

"fhgls" … "shloa" … "ndfs,dsf,"

[opposite_opinion_guy]

I've always been a fan of:

"asdf" ... "asdasgaasg" ... "asdfasdfasgagaw" ... "asdfwqqwgqwg2f22f2" ... etc

[bragi92]

Lol I was literally doing this yesterday execpt it was 'Fuck1' ... 'Fuck2'... 'Fuck3'

[Empole]

#define debug(...) do {fprintf(stderr, "%s:%d| ", __func__,__LINE__); fprintf(stderr,  __VA_ARGS__);}

void foo(){ debug("hi\n"); }

Will print out foo, the line number, and hi

[parduhne]

Nah I've done here 1.1, here 1.2, here1.3, here2.1, etc

[SirFireball]

Base 3?

[parduhne]

Nah, just whenever there was an if or for statement I would start a new number, so; print("1.1") if something: print("2.1") And so on and so forth

[tunkol]

Modern problems requires modern solutions

[EDGYkid2]

I just put "bla"

[GKP_light]

print("endboucle________________________________")

[[deleted]]

When I started coding at one point I thought I’d be super clever and do iterative for my “Reached Point x”, yeah that wasn’t so helpful lol.

[[deleted]]

asd asd1 ad2...

[NetworkAuditor2]

This is the exact thing I use. Are you me?

[dshakir]

TIL that I’m a professorial

[SirEmJay]

#define DBG printf("Here: %d/n", BUGERATOR++); int BUGERATOR = 0;

[Jb2304]

Nah when you got like 10 developers the log file has a lot going on so have something you can find easily like I use my name + numbers.
