不知道有没有人提过。

在Java中,在finally块中它可以返回一个值。它将停止异常的传播并覆盖正常的return语句。

在fortran中(当然是77,可能在95中也是如此),未声明的变量和以I到N开头的参数(“In”组)将是INTEGER,所有其他未声明的变量和参数将是REAL(源)。这与“在某些情况下可选的空白”相结合,导致了最著名的错误之一。

正如弗雷德·韦伯在1990年的《另类民间传说:计算机》一书中所说:

I worked at Nasa during the summer of 1963. The group I was working in was doing preliminary work on the Mission Control Center computer systems and programs. My office mate had the job of testing out an orbit computation program which had been used during the Mercury flights. Running some test data with known answers through it, he was getting answers that were close, but not accurate enough. So, he started looking for numerical problems in the algorithm, checking to make sure his tests data was really correct, etc. After a couple of weeks with no results, he came across a DO statement, in the form: DO 10 I=1.10 This statement was interpreted by the compiler (correctly) as: DO10I = 1.10 The programmer had clearly intended: DO 10 I = 1, 10 After changing the . to a , the program results were correct to the desired accuracy. Apparently, the program's answers had been "good enough" for the sub-orbital Mercury flights, so no one suspected a bug until they tried to get greater accuracy, in anticipation of later orbital and moon flights. As far as I know, this particular bug was never blamed for any actual failure of a space flight, but the other details here seem close enough that I'm sure this incident is the source of the DO story.

我认为这是一个很大的WTF,如果DO10I被作为DO10I,并且反过来,因为隐式声明被认为是类型REAL。这是个很棒的故事。

其他奇怪的事情:

在c++中,覆盖一个虚方法会隐藏该方法的所有其他重载。在Java中,这种情况不会发生。这很烦人。例如:http://codepad.org/uhvl1nJp

在c++中,如果基类有一个公共虚方法foo(),子类有一个私有方法foo(),这个私有方法会覆盖另一个方法! 这样,只需将子类对象指针强制转换为父类对象指针,就可以在类外部调用私有方法。这不应该是可能的:这违反了封装。新方法不应被视为对旧方法的重写。例如:http://codepad.org/LUGSNPdh

在PHP中,你可以定义函数来接受类型化参数(例如,对象是某个接口/类的子类),讨厌的是,在这种情况下,你不能使用NULL作为实际的参数值。 例如:http://codepad.org/FphVRZ3S

c++中我最喜欢的一个是“公共抽象具体内联析构函数”:

class AbstractBase {
public:
    virtual ~AbstractBase() = 0 {}; // PACID!

    virtual void someFunc() = 0;
    virtual void anotherFunc() = 0;
};

我是从Scott Meyers的《Effective c++》中偷来的。看到一个方法既是纯虚拟的(通常意味着“抽象”),又是内联实现的,这看起来有点奇怪,但这是我发现的确保对象被多态破坏的最佳和最简洁的方法。

我很惊讶没有人提到大多数类c语言中丑陋的开关case实现

switch (someInt) {
    case 1:
    case 2: System.out.println("Forgot a break, idiot!");
    case 3: System.out.println("Now you're doing the wrong thing and maybe need hours to find the missing break muahahahaha");
            break;
    default: System.out.println("This should never happen -,-");        
}

好在新语言正确地实现了它。
