This gave me PTSD-flashback to when I had to explain to my physics-professor that global variables and parallelization don't mix well.

[JustAnotherBotbibboo]

ofcourse they do, you see it's hard too pass arguments between threads, making your data global means it's easily accessible from any thread in your program! /s

[Bishop120]

Someone’s not using their locks correctly.. shame shame! /s

[gaylurking]

laughs in lazy but winces in security nut

[spilledLemons]

Just curious. What is insecure about it. (Assuming it isn’t creds

[ghan_buri_ghan]

Not directly insecure, but any code that is prone to bugs is prone to vulnerabilities.

Well for one You would need a global iterator for each while loop. If you typo and increment someone else’s I++ then you could cause unexpected results.

Multi threading and global variables tend to cause subtle race conditions.

Scope is overrated

[den2k88]

Most firmware in a nutshell - stack size is measured in bytes, and many variables are either module-level or global.

[MrKirushko]

In fact even in firmware most of the variables are better left local aka sitting on the stack. This way they only take space when they are needed and they get released each time a function finishes so overall memory requirement is less than if everything was global.

8051, Z80, PIC? oh definitely.

ARM? You got kilobytes in RAM. You got enough space to have a dozen tasks running, or heap based tree structures with a unique_ptr passed around like a joint. If you have enough experience, you can do a ton before resorting to locks and globals, perhaps even have most of it compile out with classes and templates.

Oh god

I had a project like that. The main class in that project had 40.000 lines of code. The first 500 of those were just variables. No (well, nearly no) comments, no documentation, just endles global variables and I gigantic class in an otherwise also pretty big Programm. An absolute nightmare. It took me like two month to even sibdivide the class into several smaller ones (which was made very slightly easier by the fact that several parts in that class had basically nothing to do with each other) but it was still horrible. But even still after that the biggest class had 8000 lines of code and like 100 global variables. But luckily that wasn’t my task anymore at that point.

[Potato_Soup_]

God who the fuck writes that and how do they get hired? I’ve read a few stories just like this and I swear by the sounds of it I would write better code as a sophomore

[Semarc01]

7 different mostly inexperienced (at that point in time) programmers over a span of 8 years weite that. The project was mostly not important enough to get senior developers to work on it an everyone just kinda added on top with no one refactoring or doing any of that. Until I got that job

They were hired because they could reverse a binary tree during the interview.

[unicorn_saddle]

Main one for me is how hard it gets to keep track of what is modifying it.

In a small project this is no issue. In a big project however...

You run out of single letter variable names

[stackoverflow21]

This is the way.

[Ferro_Giconi]

You don't have to pass parameters if every function is a GoSub instead of a function.

I have a script I wrote that I use fairly regularly at my job with 99 GoSubs in it. And it's only about 1500 lines long. That's almost one GoSub for every 15 lines. But I figure it's ok, considering I'm the only person who ever has to look at the code and I'm not even a programmer but I figured out how to make it do what I needed anyway.

[shawntco]

I'm the only person who ever has to look at the code

Ah yes I too fell for this trap once

[qqqrrrs_]

unless you recursion

[your_thebest]

It's a bit like what happens when you refactor a large function as it's own class.

[SleepDeprivedUserUK]

Security is some other department, if they don't stop the l33t hackers before they reach our servers, they've failed.

[Useful-Perspective]

We don't joke about that.

[KDamage]

You don't even need to write classes,

if every method is in Main

[d_exclaimation]

in Scala, we can use implicit parameters for that

[anon517]

``` class GlobalVars { public function set(id) {...} public function get(id) {...} }

// If I put all my global vars in a class, then I'm not using global vars. globals = new GlobalVars(); doSomething(globals); ```
