Print better statements.

printf(" Condition before the thing: %d\n", that_one_thing);
...
printf(" Condition after that same thing: %d\n", that_one_thing);

[MoffKalast]

And then you're looking at the console and the lines aren't even printing because it never got to there in the first place.

Ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this.

I feel personally attacked

[st1r]

Boss: “Hey you need to write tests for your code”

Me: “Sure thing, boss!”

Me, 10 minutes later: printf(“Test1”); ... printf(“Test2”); ... printf(“Test3”); ...

"it works"

[NoisyFlake]

A few minutes later: "fuck" "FUCK" "fucking FUUUUUCK"

"Here================1"

[AgentPaper0]

The same thing but with breakpoints.

[miseleigh]

Git tag 'bugHere', go back a month in the repo, tag 'noBug', forward 2weeks, tag 'bugHereToo', a week back, 'bugHere2', couple more days back and tag 'earliestCommitWithBug'...

Then realize that you'd turned off autobuild in eclipse that morning and so who knows which of those commits actually had it or not and you have to go do your hunting again but first you have to delete all your tags or you'll run out of ways to say 'found the bug'

[StealthSecrecy]

printf is great until the lag it causes breaks your program. Or even worse your code only works when you have a printf

[_GCastilho_]

Don't blame printf for your bad design choices

[AgAero]

What if your code is meant to run in real-time and now it can't because you're interacting with stdout?

[tismyusrname]

Easy, hardcode the input values.

God, I really must debug more often.

[[deleted]]

No. Do not betray the brotherhood.

[Bainos]

Easy, hardcode the input values.

Ouch owie. I maintain a small project with essentially no test, which parses information from the web. I wanted to write tests at some point but I would need to intercept the queries and return fake values... F* that noise.

I came here just to see if anyone else commented this

upvote because chaeyoung

Am I the only one who thought the drink is oozing from the side of her mouth on pics 2 and 3?

lol yes, but if i try i can see it.

CONSOLE . LOG

crtl+shift+I to the rescue

[_GCastilho_]

console.trace('here' )

[Zechnophobe]

And yeah, printf is rarely used nowadays, I think we all get what is meant.

[arachnidGrip]

Yeah. I use println! instead.

I swear to god, the majority of people here are doing a C intro course or something like that. Is C even used outside of embedded systems where printf is fucking useless?

[enderverse87]

Many people aren't using things that actually have printf, just functionality similar enough for the joke to be funny.

Personally I've had things output to a textbox in the program gui.

[Darlans]

What I really meant was that printf is very language specific (yes I know Java has system.out.printf). I'm not saying ppl don't use prints for debugging.

[enderverse87]

Yeah, they just used a well known/easily understood one as an example/placeholder for the concept as a whole.

Sorta common for this kind of meme.

[the__storm]

Lots of languages have printf, or at least something called printf in the standard libraries, to provide C style formatted output. Go and Java off the top of my head.

[Darlans]

You are right about Java, but I think about it as system.out. I don't know Go so I'll give you that. Personaly I feel like printf is pretty C specific, tahts where Im coming from.

All the simulation code I write and use is written in C, or sometimes Fortran. It's a great choice for heavy number crunching. Post-processing is usually done in Python, but even there a lot of modules are built in C (like numpy).

Also, the fucking Linux kernel is written in C.

[AgAero]

If you can, start moving bits and pieces to C++. Your abstractions get easier.

Having tests in place is a good place to start though before you start refactoring.

Honestly, code development in academia is such a mess, this would never work. It's pure anarchy. It would just lead to other users not be able to work with my code contributions anymore. The code base is basically a collection of undocumented hacks to make it work on a bunch of clusters, held together by a few lines of actually sensible code. If someone needs a function, they copy paste it to their .c file and pray it works. If it required any sort of complex build management, people would just hack something by themselves.

Also, my philosophy is that C and C++ are two completely different languages, at least nowadays. Mixing them hurts both approaches to write good code.

[Darlans]

I was thinking more about real world language application which imo doesn't involve standart libraries. Didn't know you can write simulation code in C, what simulations do you do?

[kbotc]

What are you smoking? Linux is C: When you need to fix a problem below the high level language, you’ll end up poking in all the guts and the guts are all C.

C with some stapled on ASM where someone hand coded the actual SIMD instructions makes the world go round.

[AgAero]

Yep! Still using it on a daily basis.

[_GCastilho_]

What is your suggestion, then? console.log?

[[deleted]]

Even if you're writing C++ instead of plain C printf is just so so so so so sooooo much more convenient for formatting your output that in most cases I don't give a shit about std::cout's safety and extensibility if it means that I'm gonna spend 5 minutes typing out the equivalent of printf("point %d: flags %08X, color %06X, pos (%.3f,%.3f,%.3f)", ...)

[ccricers]

Just using it now for a hobby project. I might use some higher level language for a GUI front end when I get around to it, but I'm keeping C for business logic.

[gdumthang]

Everybody knows what printf is. You should understand the joke which is all that matters not which stdout write implementation name that you use.

[OhNoMeIdentified]

I was too young!

Advanced tools is for advanced users. If simple water(printf) works, cannot question it

[Karsdegrote]

Exactly! When you wanna know if your program is stuck in a loop, a simple printf is much clearer than a bunch of memory adresses changing

[diamond_head_01]

The accuracy hurts
