I just got FRED2 open and tried to compile it, and the errors I got were disturbing
Theres
of slopy errors in here, such as misplaces brackets.
Whats going on? I thought CVS builds were supposed to be... buildable?
man, ive gone through and found at least 20 straight up errors in this so far, one entire function was screwed cause someone put the closing bracket way too early and most of the funtion was in the global space. Is there any form of QC on the code that gets uploaded?
Theres things like this:
char debris_size[3] = { "Small", "Medium", "Large" };
That returns an array bounds overflow. Of corse it does. "small" is 5 characters long :| Why you had to use an array there and not just a Cstring is beyond me.
Then theres the royal ones, The mismangament of pointers for instance, is going to be a pain in the butt to fix properly. I know this post sounds whingy, I know im the new guy round here, and maybe im missing something obvious (in which case, slap me), but it annoys the fu*k out of me when someone uploads code that they havent even bothered to make sure it obeys the syntax
itll take me at least two days to just sort through and get it building, let alone running, What if I get something wrong?
(eg brackets - say I found (3 * 3 / 5) + 2 )/ 3 and I had to pick between the two closing brackets, choosing the wrong one will break things)
And thats my 2 cents. Sorry if I seemd a bit ranty.
