在20世纪80年代早期的某个时候，我们在PL/I中为公用事业编写财务建模代码。接到一个客户的电话，说代码在评论之后就爆炸了

/* Honest this works */

这家伙用了我们的标准金融方程花了大约15页的代数把一堆代码组合成一个方程。在三里岛事件后，当公用事业公司不得不以巨大的代价注销他们的核电站时，这个方程失败了，因为FIXED BIN 15(整数)溢出，如果代数没有发生，就不会发生这种溢出。

// fix for groupid > 9 
// if groupid ever gets to 100 everything will break (again)

if (groupid < 10) {
groupid = "0" + groupid;
}

// now that's compact!
list->insert(list->end(),**pitch)->IdxOfSample=(pitch->pos-Offset)*SamplingRate;

在linux 1.0内核调度器(schedule .c)中:

Dijkstra可能讨厌我。

/*
 *  'schedule()' is the scheduler function. It's a very simple and nice
 * scheduler: it's not perfect, but certainly works for most things.
 * The one thing you might take a look at is the signal-handler code here.
 *
 *   NOTE!!  Task 0 is the 'idle' task, which gets called when no other
 * tasks can run. It can not be killed, and it cannot sleep. The 'state'
 * information in task[0] is never used.
 *
 * The "confuse_gcc" goto is used only to get better assembly code..
 * Dijkstra probably hates me.
