Sure, gotta leave the if/else logic in there in case it is needed later.  
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

After Jenkins built the setups, it starts a virtual machine, installs our programs there, and performs some integration tests.
Just recently our server has been migrated from VMWare Server to vSphere.
In order to start with a "clean" machine, a snapshot is restored - that can be done only when the machine is powered off. But I get an error when trying to power off the virtual machine:Quote: The attempted operation cannot be performed in the current state.
Well, true, the virtual machine is already powered off, and consequently it cannot be powered off... Logic, isn't it?

|

Yes, it is. But it would be more logical if we wouldn't be able to power off the machine, which is already powered off. 
|

AFAIK, VBox simply returns 0 (Success) if you try to power off a machine that is already powered off through the VBox Management API, which makes sense to me.

As found in some VB code:
Try
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
I may be posting a lot of these things here, as I finally got hold of the VB code that was for the previous system, that we're re-writing in C#.
It's bound to be full of gems like this.

I have seen that kind of code fail. Don't ask how, as I don't know.

You mean there was no code at all between Try and Catch, nor between Catch and End Try?
At least, he ought to have added an empty Finally then.

That is correct. I did not remove any code. It was a completely empty try-catch block.

Leaving the try...catch block empty was intentional. There exists a form with a textbox in which you can type code to be inserted in the try...catch block at runtime.

Then it's too bad the optimizer will remove it.

Today I came across the following code
if (1=1){
doSomeThing();
}
else{
doBestThing();
}
I am waiting for the execution of else part

well, it will compile for C and C++ at least!

Are you sure it will compile? '1' is not an l-value.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I wont, you can't assign to an rvalue.
UNLESS 1 is actually a macro that expands to something that makes sense on that context, but I don't even know if a macro can be called 1.

You cannot write a macro beginning with an digit.

I'm digging deep into the past, but I believe that with MS QuickC, it may have allowed the compile. Upon execution, memory offset 1 would be overwritten with 1. Possibly an immediate crash, or more likely, a crash waiting to happen.
I know it'd work with a cast to a pointer. QuickC was rather forgiving at times. Some of those times it was to my regret.

I happened upon an if yesterday that was deactivated with:
if ( <big>false &&</big> ...
Personally, I prefer to build with warnings as errors, but this codebase throws thousands of warnings.

Luckily the Mayans were wrong or perhaps doBestThing() would have executed a couple of years ago.

Goto l;

else{
l: doBestThing();

Now the else part will run! Am I Correct?

I am not a goto expert(thank God) but i believe you have to define I before the Goto part.
