Today i found some really weird expression in some C++-code
if(++(k=j) != node.end())
{
if("something" == *k)
doSomething();
else if("something other" == *k)
doSomethingOther();
}
and just ~30 lines below that weird if statement i found this:
k = j;
if(++k != node.end())
{
if("something" == *k)
doSomething();
else if("something other" == *k)
doSomethingOther();
}
why always so weird? Why don' to it in an nice way
k = j + 1;
if(k != node.end())
{
if("something" == *k)
doSomething();
else if("something other" == *k)
doSomethingOther();
}
In some other code a few days ago i found this
n[idx++] = a[++idx2]++;
where both, a and n, are defined as void*

Hmmm... isn't that a programming question ? 
[EDIT: Silly me! I thought we were in the Lounge  ]
I think some people write such nasty stuff because it makes them feel smart. And maybe, a few of them think that it compiles into faster code 
Life is too shor

The shorter the code the faster it gets... thrown out of the window along with the programmer 
I sometimes write artworks like that but in 5 minutes I expand them to the readable form. It's just better.

My favourite is the --> "operator".
int counter = 10;
while (counter --> 0)
{
}
Some people consider it ugly.

It's... wonderful. And weird.

Brilliant!
I actually Googled to find whether that "operator" really exists in C++! 
You have just been Sharapova'd.

isn't that a C++ 11 feature?

That is a mistake. k obviously is a pointer and ++k will not increment this pointer by just 1 byte. It will increment it by the size of the type of k. Try it out and examine the memory address k points to in the debugger in both versions.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I think you're mistaken. k gets assigned j + sizeof(*j), not j + sizeof(*k). Hopefully j and k are compatible pointer types.
Edit: I'm not sure what k = j + 1 has to do with ++k. In any case, ++k does not increment by the size of the type of k, but rather by the size of the type k references.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thinking it's 21st century I registered with my name (Blažko, note so called soft z in the middle) and published something like an eBook.
Than I found that in some situations I see there my name as Blažko (what I reported them), even directly book's page is OK.
Later, after filling form (where is already no chance to change any name) I got this wonderful reply:
"Unfortunately, we are unable to approve your ad as your book's author name violates one of our ad guideline policies. i.e; the cover page has the name which is not correctly displayed/spelled."
ROTFL (There is no problem with cover page[^].)
(Actually they already "reached out to our technical team to investigate this issue. We'll contact you with more information by the end of the day on October 13, 2015.")

if you have ever wrote a proxy server and just wanted to relay SSL data then you just need to read the HTTPS connect to get the host name and then join the client socket to a server socket and pump the data between sockets.
Doing MITM after first installing a CA certificate on the client machine so that it works in stealth mode is not so easy and you need to use a SSL-Stream to authenticate with both the client and server to decrypt the data.
Trouble is a SSL-Stream in stealth mode won't give you the host name and if you read the socket that the SSL-Stream is conncted to so you can parse the host name from the stream then the SSL-Stream won't work, it's read forwards only.
So how did i patch this up to work using .NET 3.5 ?
Well i used something like two proxy servers and the first one read the socket stream to extract the host-name and then relayed the data to a second proxy that connected a SSL-Stream to the incoming net.socket and then asked the first proxy for the host name.
browser->host-name-proxy->MITM Proxy->Internet
OK i wrapped it up inside a single class so that it all worked inside a single proxy server on the same process id but i must be very cleaver for thinking outside the box and getting something to work or went about it all wrong and must be very stupi.
Maybe I needed to use some other network base class.
shoot away, it's code Jim but not as we know it

Looks like the work of a tool. Unlikely that developer wrote it.
Mysteries remain, two of which are:
- How come the other entries (like Rock Gardens, Parkdale) don't have it?
- How come the 'obscure Firefox glitch', first reported in 2004 is still under resolution?
