在你看来,你遇到过的最令人惊讶、最怪异、最奇怪或最“WTF”的语言特性是什么?

请每个回答只回答一个特征。

我在试图找出一个完全没有意义但无论如何都能工作的MACRO时遇到了这个。这对于objective-c是正确的,但对于其他类型的C(或者至少是gcc编译器)也可能是正确的。

NSString *oneString = @"This " @"is " @"just " @"one " @"normal " @" string";

=

NSString *oneString = @"This is just one normal string";

C风格的字符串也是如此

char* str = "this " "also " "works";

INTERCAL可能是最奇怪的语言特征的最佳汇编。我个人最喜欢的是COMEFROM语句,它(几乎)与GOTO相反。

COMEFROM is roughly the opposite of GOTO in that it can take the execution state from any arbitrary point in code to a COMEFROM statement. The point in code where the state transfer happens is usually given as a parameter to COMEFROM. Whether the transfer happens before or after the instruction at the specified transfer point depends on the language used. Depending on the language used, multiple COMEFROMs referencing the same departure point may be invalid, be non-deterministic, be executed in some sort of defined priority, or even induce parallel or otherwise concurrent execution as seen in Threaded Intercal. A simple example of a "COMEFROM x" statement is a label x (which does not need to be physically located anywhere near its corresponding COMEFROM) that acts as a "trap door". When code execution reaches the label, control gets passed to the statement following the COMEFROM. The effect of this is primarily to make debugging (and understanding the control flow of the program) extremely difficult, since there is no indication near the label that control will mysteriously jump to another point of the program.

C + + 1 xλ的:

[] (int x) { std::cout << x << std::endl; } ();

它们可能被滥用在一些奇怪的语法中:

[](){}();[]{[]{}();}();

这是完全有效的c++ 1x。

Commodore BASIC的命令快捷方式。基本上大多数命令都有一个缩写形式,通常是第一个字母+ (shift+第二个字母)。但是因为C64上的字符集默认都是大写的,这些命令看起来就像奇怪的符号。下面是一个hello world的简短例子:

也许有人有更好的例子,更有实质内容,但对于长程序来说,这看起来完全是荒谬的。

以下是缩略语列表:http://www.c64-wiki.com/index.php/BASIC_keyword_abbreviation

在PHP中:

for ($s="a";$s<="z";$s++) echo $s.' ';

这将是:

a b c d e .. .w x y z aa ab ac ad .. ay az ba bb bc ... by bz ca cb ... yz za zb ... zx zy zz

大约在1977年,我在Lisp中添加了“format”函数,那时“printf”甚至还不存在(我是从与Unix相同的源:Multics复制的)。它一开始很无辜,但后来被一个接一个的特征填满了。当Guy Steele引入迭代和相关特性时,事情就失控了,这些特性被Common Lisp X3J13 ANSI标准所接受。下面的示例可以在Common Lisp The Language, 2nd Edition第22.3.3节中的表22-8中找到:

(defun print-xapping (xapping stream depth)
  (declare (ignore depth))
  (format stream
      "~:[{~;[~]~:{~S~:[->~S~;~*~]~:^ ~}~:[~; ~]~ ~{~S->~^ ~}~:[~; ~]~[~*~;->~S~;->~*~]~:[}~;]~]"
      (xectorp xapping)
      (do ((vp (xectorp xapping))
           (sp (finite-part-is-xetp xapping))
           (d (xapping-domain xapping) (cdr d))
           (r (xapping-range xapping) (cdr r))
           (z '() (cons (list (if vp (car r) (car d)) (or vp sp) (car r)) z)))
          ((null d) (reverse z)))
      (and (xapping-domain xapping)
           (or (xapping-exceptions xapping)
           (xapping-infinite xapping)))
      (xapping-exceptions xapping)
      (and (xapping-exceptions xapping)
           (xapping-infinite xapping))
      (ecase (xapping-infinite xapping)
        ((nil) 0)
        (:constant 1)
        (:universal 2))
      (xapping-default xapping)
      (xectorp xapping)))
