      5/ so, at least this is all well documented, right? no there are no comments. except occasionally things like "this is very obscure and bad, but we have to keep it" 100% serious

    2. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 7 Jun 2019

      6/ well, at least you can deduce what's going on from function names, right? no the functions are all named after obscure literature or puns and so forth

    3. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 7 Jun 2019

      7/ well, ok, so the functions aren't given good names, but if a variable is named something like "input_data_ptr", that helps, right? no the variables are all single letters like a, b, c, d

      8/ so anyway, my task is to change a certain data type from 32 bit to 64 bit except really, it's from 30 bit to 62 bit, because we use the top two bits to store metadata in a structure, or something, right? no, via bit twiddling

      9/ well, at least you can single step into the functions that do the bit twiddling and watch them work, right? no, it's all implemented via #defines, so you can't single step into the multi-line "functions"

    6. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 7 Jun 2019

      10/ well, at least you can rewrite the #defines into functions so that you CAN single step through them, to see exactly where the memory corruption takes place, right? no why not?

      11/ answer: let me circle back to that later ok, but at least you can use the types that functions return to help you understand the code, right? no, the code freely casts from type to type

    8. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 7 Jun 2019

      12/ well, you can look at those explicit casts and deduce something from them, right? no, the casts are implicit

    9. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 7 Jun 2019

      13/ well, at least you know that none of the implicit casts lose any significant bits, or mangles sign bits into data bits, or vice versa, right, because the compiler warns in those cases? no, because that compiler warning has been turned off

      This tweet was the point at which I started laughing uncontrollably and then went and poured another bourbon.
