dude, it would be ****ing stupid to make + crash on overflow

Christ, why don't you go get drunk/laid or like and relax a bit ??? First, if it's a batch program, I'll prefer a crash with a reasonable message so I can fix the problem, second, if it's an online, I would like to present the user with a message that the program can't handle the data instead of present wrong results.

Rule 0 of embedded systems: don't crash the program.

SP

Rule 1 of embedded systems : in case of failure set the FILE_NOT_FOUND flag

WTF would they be writing a program like that in pseudo-assembly C?

Fact: if you are doing high-performance bigint adds then you either already know you aren't overflowing because you checked beforehand, or don't care.

True, knowing your data is essential, and if there are no chance that overflow can occur, then no problem. If it can, you want to know.

I'm a bit curious about your "or don't care" claim - please tell me about the programs that you have written where that was the case.

Well, that is maybe a bit unfair so a little elaboration - a boolean on an embedded system can have three states true, false and FNF at least according to this site :

Hope that you'll find it entertaining

Oh man, it's not like I didn't read the five years ago.

And you still make programs giving wrong results

[Fve Crathva]

Suppose you have a 16-bit timer that increments once per millisecond, and its value can be obtained by calling the Now() function. Your program is a simple polling loop (there is no operating system) that calls three independent functions as often as possible:

extern uint16_t Now();

int main()
{
    for (;;)
    {
        SaltyOJizzmaster();
        PooperButt();
        SwellingLabia();
    }
    for (;;);
    return 0;
}

No function in the loop is allowed to block (so as not to delay the other functions) and they all return in a few microseconds. Modify the program to run the PooperButt() function once every 60 seconds, while the other two functions still run as often as possible (i.e. there is no idle time).

extern uint16_t Now();

int main()
{
    PooperButt = (function() {
        var oldpoop = PooperButt;
        var last = Now();
        return function() {
            if (Now() - last > 60000) {
                last = Now();
                oldpoop();
            }
        }
    })();

    for (;;)
    {
        SaltyOJizzmaster();
        PooperButt();
        SwellingLabia();
    }
    for (;;);
    return 0;
}

If you can penetrate Kuci's facetious tomfoolery, your question has now been answered.

[Kuciwalker]

Didn't you say functional languages were awesome?

[Kuciwalker]

im in ur embedded program writin' my javascript

[Fve Crathva]

Functional languages are awesome, but we live in a society and there should be limits.

SP

[Hauldren Collider]

I like my programming languages to be functional
