Comment On færsla

I have no idea why this is supposed to be funny/odd/amusing.

Or is that the point?

Maybe I'm clueless too, but I think the point is that all the field names in that struct are completely meaningless. Unless there's additional documentation, how the hell is anyone supposed to know what each field is for? Not to mention the fact that the field names are in two columns - is that supposed to indicate some relationship between the fields, or was the coder just trying to save space?

And, yes, I think Jökull (Glacier) is an awesome name too. We need names like that in English.

I guess an explanation is in order then :)

The thing was that i was supposed to port this C code (and make some additions to the program as well). Of course what followed was a couple of "weeks of hell" where i had to literally make my way through lines and lines of this completely undocumented spaghetti C code just to figure out what each of these variables meant and what they were there for. No comments, no explanations, no nothing! Just lots of 2-letter variables with apparently no meaning behind their names.

Needless to say, i didn't enjoy this one very much :)

P.S.
The struct was just split into two columns before it was posted to save some space.

This is what happens when you let dinosaurs do some code. I recomend leaving all the coding to monkeys with hats. I have three of them at my office, I just sit back and let them do all the work ;)

the guy that submitted this is probably the idiot.

If it is part of a transaction then it would make perfect sense as the different named parts of a record created in the old style that c was used for all the time.

 if you have the doc or the context of the rest of the program then this would make plenty of sense. 

 I bet that if you add up all the characters that they even line up on a boundary.

It adds up to 560 which is the upper limit on some old piece of crap computer that this was probably written for 20 years ago.  Its probably been ported 10 times by people that didn't care and just through out the documentation.

just through out the documentation.

 Erm, that's "Threw" out. Ouch.

 Better check your spelling before throughing those 'idiot' comments about!
