intruder > thats pretty bad. As far as I know, I don't talk in my sleep, though I have room all to myself so theres no one to tell me if I do talk. I can only imagine the kinds of dreams some of the people here on AO have, esp some of the people who are hardcore programmers.
Yeah, happend to me once also..
Had been debuging an assignment (a game in C++ with DirectX) for 3 days: collision detection wasn't working...
I finally found out the bug the next morning: a ";" at the end of the line of a "for" statement..
(something like: "
for( int i=x; i<ARRAY_SIZE; i++);
{
//navigate array of pointers to polymorphic objects!
}"
so the loop ran "empty" and "i" was one to high when executing the code block!
The worst was that it was so subtle:
VC++ compiler doesn't protest (warn) of "empty" for statements
tracing an executing directx prog is hell
the prog didn't crash because the invalid array subscript just returned a pointer with invalid value which was supposed to point to a polymorphic object (refered to a superclass) in which I only used an int, which was just wrong...
Anyways..

You actually had a dream of the next MICROSOFT WINDOWS OS, and if only you could remember, you might become a multi-millionaire.
