你遇到过的源代码中最好的注释是什么?

高斯林的Emacs源代码中的ascii艺术头骨和交叉骨骼(这里很难重现)(警告说他编写的超热屏幕管理包不容易理解)。

来自Linux内核源代码:

linux /包括/ asm-i386 / hw_irq。h:

/*
 * subtle. orig_eax is used by the signal code to distinct between
 * system calls and interrupted 'random user-space'. Thus we have
 * to put a negative value into orig_eax here. (the problem is that
 * both system calls and IRQs want to have small integer numbers in
 * orig_eax, and the syscall code has won the optimization conflict ;)
 *
 * Subtle as a pigs ear.  VY
 */

这个我在Python 2.5的“twisted”包中找到的(文件是tcp.py在第371行)

# Limit length of buffer to try to send, because some OSes are too
# stupid to do so themselves (ahem windows)
return self.socket.send(buffer(data, 0, self.SEND_LIMIT))

大概30页的xslt的中间部分

在为一家芬兰移动网络设备制造商工作期间,我深入研究了硬件抽象层,发现芬兰语单词“puukko”出现了100多次。

“puukko”是一种万能刀,每个芬兰人的工具箱里或家里都有。它被用于从剥土豆到电脑维修(我的观察)的所有事情。我相信在这个语境中,它相当于芬兰语中的“Hack”。

我的芬兰同事否认了这一点,并说这更像是“外科手术/干预”……我差点就相信了,直到我看到下面的评论:

/* Perkele ISO Puukko! */ -> Fucking Big Hack!

这是我自己代码中的一个,但它仍然非常有趣,我认为最好还是把它放在网上,因为它是在公共SVN中。
