#C to Pascal
Jack– You shoulda asked me about C to Pascal conversions. I could have
told you it was a pain. 🙂 (the sharp reader will guess how _I_ found
out).
Beats me why C programmers go all out to use such complicated
incomprehensible structures and features. It's darned hard to get going in
the first place and pure torture to maintain in the future. Reminds me of
how assembly code used to be written, including at one time by me. But it
didn't take me long to learn that such habits caused real grief.
An example of that illustrates how hard such things are to comprehend comes
from a song from around 35 years ago. I don't remember the name or the
singer but the refrain was:
I was looking back to see, if you were looking back to see, if I was
looking back to see, if you were looking back at me.
In 20 years of assembly coding, I've found that like those lyrics indirect
addressing remains just as difficult to comprehend.
