在几年前编写Perl时，我在顶部和底部添加了这些注释:

# <magic type="voodoo">

...

# </magic>

下一个研究它的人在Perl中并不是那么热门，他花了一段时间搜索文档，看看“魔法”和“巫毒”是怎么做的。从那以后，我试着添加更多有用的评论……

整个函数非常棒(来自Linux的sunhme.c驱动程序，用于被Sun戏称为“快乐套餐”的网卡)。因为在那之前的卡片是“巨无霸”。明白了吗?明白了吗?)

static void happy_meal_tcvr_write(struct happy_meal *hp,
                              void __iomem *tregs, int reg,
                              unsigned short value)
{
    int tries = TCVR_WRITE_TRIES;

    ASD(("happy_meal_tcvr_write: reg=0x%02x value=%04x\n", reg, value));

    /* Welcome to Sun Microsystems, can I take your order please? */
    if (!(hp->happy_flags & HFLAG_FENABLE)) {
            happy_meal_bb_write(hp, tregs, reg, value);
            return;
    }

    /* Would you like fries with that? */
    hme_write32(hp, tregs + TCVR_FRAME,
                (FRAME_WRITE | (hp->paddr << 23) |
                 ((reg & 0xff) << 18) | (value & 0xffff)));
    while (!(hme_read32(hp, tregs + TCVR_FRAME) & 0x10000) && --tries)
            udelay(20);

    /* Anything else? */
    if (!tries)
            printk(KERN_ERR "happy meal: Aieee, transceiver MIF write bolixed\n");

    /* Fifty-two cents is your change, have a nice day. */

}

// good luck!

这是我自己代码中的一个，但它仍然非常有趣，我认为最好还是把它放在网上，因为它是在公共SVN中。

// These were orginally up and down. When it was clear the names were
// inapplicable, they were renamed to retain the joke.
// Sorry if you were hoping for useful variable names.

在linux 1.0内核调度器(schedule .c)中:

Dijkstra可能讨厌我。

/*
 *  'schedule()' is the scheduler function. It's a very simple and nice
 * scheduler: it's not perfect, but certainly works for most things.
 * The one thing you might take a look at is the signal-handler code here.
 *
 *   NOTE!!  Task 0 is the 'idle' task, which gets called when no other
 * tasks can run. It can not be killed, and it cannot sleep. The 'state'
 * information in task[0] is never used.
 *
 * The "confuse_gcc" goto is used only to get better assembly code..
 * Dijkstra probably hates me.
