whee, i made their pointless C compile!

stupid axe ad

typedef struct {
  int girlfriend;
} holder;

typedef struct {
  holder a;
} toplevel;

typedef struct {
  int this;
} yoda;

int main() {
  holder holder = { 2 };
  yoda understand = { 2 };
  toplevel get = {holder};
  int you = 2;

  /* whee, i made this stupid code work! */
  if (you == understand.this) {
    get.a.girlfriend;
  }
  return 0;
}

Only 8th grade boys like the smell of Axe. The irony is that 8th grade girls think the boys who like it are idiots. So if you want a girlfriend, you;re better off with Old Spice.

@alexindigo:

re: first ruby example, I believe idea was to make parse/compile, not to output obscenities for some ad agency. :)

My point was that it didn't compile. 😉

jplitza: ooh, i like that one, but changing the Axe code to be less stupid is a definite no-no.

@sgerrand:

It compiled and ran successfully, both on my machine and in the REPL output you posted.

Common Lisp

* (let* ((you 1) (understand.this 1) (get.a.girlfriend "HODOR!"))
    (progn
      (defmacro custom-if (func if-form block-start result block-end)
        (list `,func `(,(cadr if-form) ,(car if-form) ,(caddr if-form)) result))
      (setf (symbol-function '==) (function =)))
    (custom-if
      if (you == understand.this) {
        get.a.girlfriend;
      }
  ))
"HODOR!"

@pranavrc All the props.

yes, I think @pranavrc wins this thread with that one, macro-to-the-max!

Instead of trying to defend original code I'll propose how it should actually look to make sense:

if (you.understand(this)){
    you.get_a_girlfriend();
}
