Very disappointing not to see an #if 0 (my personal go-to for decades) in this meme. 😞
Damn, you beat me to it.
It’s common enough that it’s supported like a comment by numerous syntax highlighting schemes, and has the added benefits of guaranteeing that the code won’t be compiled as well as encapsulating any pre-existing block comments. Conversely, if (false) is total garbage.
beat me to it too, it’s a meme of course but the advantage compared to comments is thay you get syntax highlighting 😁
this is what I’m doing too, so at least it’s not compiled and better than a /* */ as you can keep all the code intact in your #if 0
I was going through some js code a few months ago and every function in a module had
return;as its first line. And that module was imported into 4 or 5 scripts.laughing in
#if 0:#include int main() { #if 0 std::cout << "Look at this" << std::endl; #else std::cout << "ugly abomination." << std::endl; #endif }If you’re in a language that supports it, please don’t use
if (false)useif ($disallowAllUsers = false && $whateverTheRealConditionIs)Never seen this, what language or buildsystem is this?
That specific language is PHP, but the tip is applicable in any language that supports inline assignment.
if (true === $wantToCauseErrorsForFun) { badOldFunction(); }
You folks have clearly not met first year CS students. Screenshots code
bonus points if you use a different variable every file so they have to go through and change every instance if they want to make changes
what about relying on the persistent undo history in vim?

In Python you put it in a multiline string, since it has those but not multiline comments.
