Reading code Anonymous 04/15/15 (Wed) 17:14:45 0ed897 No.2076

Do you guys know any project/program/app that you think it's useful to read and learn about it? For example, good coding standards or awesome implementation.

I'll start, if anyone here doesn't know the fast inverse square root of Doom III:

I'm looking for clean code in a not small project in Python, if anyone knows.

That's one of the advantages of open source software. Just pick your favorite and start reading.

I'm too newfag to read large programs. Do you know one that is small and clean?

Avoid GNU like the plague.

The most useful programs are large programs. There are very few small programs that are useful and even fewer that are clean. How do you conceptualize small vs large anyway?

if you liked that root hack check out Duff's device

Anon, it's like you're saying 'echo' should be written in less than 250 lines or something.

>>2076

IMHO you should really just try to read a lot of different code, even if some of it is complete shit.

So basically >>2262

Don't worry too much if you can't understand it at first.

echo is written in > 250 lines?!?

>seriously?

Yes. Though strictly speaking, it's 213 SLOC.

To be fair, GNU echo does have extra features, like translating C escape sequences.

Why anyone would actually need that, especially considering that's exactly what the printf command-line tool is for, I don't know.

Huh… you learn something every day…

Look at ChaiScript to learn how one can pass functions and exceptions to a scripting engine using templates.

Resulting error messages are not below 20 lines, though.

For C, this seems to be decent: https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~lee/06cse480/data/cstyle.ms.pdf

Also this site http://bxr.su/ is good for browsing various *BSD's code.

Is there any particular reason, why pdfs aren't enabled? And while you're at it, you could enable archives.

Yep. That's what I clicked to get the quick reply thing and forgot to delete it.

To be fair, that's one of the annoying things about image boards invented in the 90s.
