Here is some code I wrote today for practice.
This code has a terrible, evil bug that causes it to seg-fault.
Can you spot the bug?

(Note: Compiling it = cheating. Compilation with -Wall reveals the answer.)

[code]
... irrelevant code snipped ...

bool HeapEmpty()
{
return HeapSize == 0;
}

void HandleGroup(uint i)
{
// Is the heap empty?
if (HeapEmpty()) {
// Nothing to do with this group =\
return;
}

// Get the currently valid trip that has the least chance of attracting more groups.
uint TIdx = HeapExtractMin();

// Match!
NumMatched++;
Match[Arr[i].Index + 1] = TIdx + 1;
}

... irrelevant code snipped ...

either the uint thing or something else :(.

It's never going to return, even if the heap is empty.

[quote][color=black]Change "=\" to "=/" is my best guess. It seems you commented out return on accident.

The only reason I know this is because I have done the same thing (though it would seem that my mistake (forgetting to add to a number) is less severe than yours). Yay for syntax highlighting! I've never coded in pico since. vim for life.[/color][/quote]

Newby rocks.

[quote][color=black]Actually, it might return, just not from the "return;" line. :)
But, as soon as we hit HeapExtractMin(), it tries to extract from an empty heap, which sometimes crashes and otherwise returns junk.[/color][/quote]

[quote][color=black]Yeah, I guess I should have specified that it won't return from that return line if no heap exists.

That's also a reason why I use /* code blocks */ :)[/color][/quote]

[color=Black]Why do you talk like this?

[color=black]Cause they want to look cool[/color]

It's a spoiler blocker. If you don't want to see the answer you don't have to.

I think they're using a different theme, since not all themes have black quotes.
