我的精选集:

// Thats the end of the While loop
// Clean up last row.  I really must program better than this.

// Note: You can't immediately tell if the line below works.

// Rounding - blech.  It's assumed that all .5s are rounded up.

// Sort out predictions first.  Seems like the right place for a prediction, 'first'.

// Let's interpret!

所有bug由David S. Miller添加

在一组相当长且复杂的while循环和if块的末尾，开发人员插入了最后的注释:

else
{
    // wobbly wilson said this would *never* happen!!
}

机智和讽刺的简洁混合:)

几年前，我在一个没有单元测试可言的大型代码库中工作。

代码中隐藏了一个执行一些日历计算的方法。它有点坏了，由于一些不幸的情况，不得不以一种非常笨拙的方式处理夏令时。

我们不得不修了几次，每一次，我们都会在几个月后发现一些东西坏了。

在花了一整天的时间修复和分析之后，我把代码放到了源代码控制中，并附上了这样的评论:

// this code was written after a version trying to do {this} failed because of {reason},
// previously we were doing {this} which failed because of {reason}. This is 
// now written {this} way so that {lots of reasons here}. If you want to touch
// this code, please make sure that it produces the right answers when tested with:
//
// {some sort of unit test}

最终，我的团队被外包了。有时我想知道这段代码发生了什么:)

我经常看到这种情况:

// TODO make this work

struct core_unlocker
{
    core_unlocker(lock)
    {
        m_lock = lock
        unlock(lock)  //Abandon All Locks, Ye Who Enter Core!
    }
    ~core_unlocker()
    {
        lock(m_lock)
    }  
    private:
    Corelock m_lock;
}
