    What language allows hypens in identifier names?

  • (cs)

    Easy... you document what it does, not what it calls itself while it does it.

    It might well be accurate about the sexual proclivities of those who gave orders (for those who don't know: "wanker" is British slang for one who commits self-abuse), but the readers of the document don't need to know that.

    And besides, you can simply add a disclaimer to the top of the document that any undesirable language in the document is simply quoted from the source code, if you do need to cite the actual names used in the code.

    Cobol usually have these funke SOMETHING-DASH-SOMETHING variable names. Lisp, or at least elisp, also accepts hyphens in identifiers. I would guess that other languages that are stack based, also allows them.

    I thought the convention for determination of true/false was:

    //These fucking wankers wanted it unfucked private bool un-fuck(int fuck-v) { if (fuck-v == 0) { return false; } else { return true; } }

    I, on the other hand, would have added a bit of flair:

    ...

    private const int FUCK_ALL = 0

    ...

    //These fucking wankers wanted it unfucked private bool un-fuck(int fuck-v) { if (fuck-v == FUCK_ALL) { return false; } else { return true; } }

    Curiously enough, in Aussie english, it is the term used for male masturbation. Many people don't call that self-abuse… Is self-abuse itself a British euphemism for masturbation?

    I don't see what's abusive about it. I think it's rather nice.

    The New England euphemism for masturbation is "enjoying oneself".

    E.g. --Are you enjoying yourself here in Boston? --Well, I haven't had an opportunity to enjoy anybody else.

    Or --I hope you enjoyed yourself at the party. --No, I waited until I got home.

    I've always defined wanker as "a term of abuse for those whose sexual practice is exclusively self-abuse." (I included "exclusively" because I have read that 90% of the general population masturbates & the remaining 10% lies about it.)

    On the other hand, although my not-namesake Jimmy Wales spends a significantly large proportion of his time avoiding the need to resort to self-abuse (i.e., he chases the ladies), many people consider him a wanker. Just saying.

    Speaking of Australian slang, do you have any idea what the heck "bloody fruit-shop owner" is supposed to mean? The sniper in Team Fortress 2 is always saying that, and I have no idea what it means... my best guess is "operator of a gay brothel"...

    Just to get serious for a moment:

    While I'm sure it was great fun for the original programmer to create such variable and function names, they make maintenance of the code extremely difficult. If someone tells me that I have to update the formula for calculating freight cost, and you've cleverly named the freight cost calculation function "prostitute_urinating_on_homosexual" (or words meaning something similar), I am not going to laugh at how witty you were. After spending hours trying to even find the appropriate function, I will no doubt be using similar words to describe what should be done to the programmer.

    If I had to maintain this, the first thing I'd do would be to figure out what those variables and functions really are, and rename them to something meaningful. Hopefully you have an IDE that makes renaming easy. (A simple search-and-replace doesn't always cut it, especially in object-oriented languages where a dozen classes might have functions with the same name. Try renaming your class's toString method with a search-and-replace.)
