在你看来,你遇到过的最令人惊讶、最怪异、最奇怪或最“WTF”的语言特性是什么?

请每个回答只回答一个特征。


当前回答

我肯定会给Perl提供多个可怕的例子:

if(!$#var)

or

if($mystring =~ m/(\d+)/) {

其他回答

一个意想不到的特性是,在C、c#、Ruby等语言中,枚举定义列表和数组初始化列表中的末尾逗号。

string[] foods = { "tofu", "grits", "cabbage", }

public enum ArtPeriod {
  Modern,
  Romantic,
  Dada,
}

INTERCAL可能是最奇怪的语言特征的最佳汇编。我个人最喜欢的是COMEFROM语句,它(几乎)与GOTO相反。

COMEFROM is roughly the opposite of GOTO in that it can take the execution state from any arbitrary point in code to a COMEFROM statement. The point in code where the state transfer happens is usually given as a parameter to COMEFROM. Whether the transfer happens before or after the instruction at the specified transfer point depends on the language used. Depending on the language used, multiple COMEFROMs referencing the same departure point may be invalid, be non-deterministic, be executed in some sort of defined priority, or even induce parallel or otherwise concurrent execution as seen in Threaded Intercal. A simple example of a "COMEFROM x" statement is a label x (which does not need to be physically located anywhere near its corresponding COMEFROM) that acts as a "trap door". When code execution reaches the label, control gets passed to the statement following the COMEFROM. The effect of this is primarily to make debugging (and understanding the control flow of the program) extremely difficult, since there is no indication near the label that control will mysteriously jump to another point of the program.

我一直是PHP错误的忠实粉丝,当在一行中使用两个冒号时脱离上下文:

解析错误:语法错误,第3行/path/to/file/error.php中的T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM异常

第一次遇到这种情况时,我完全被弄糊涂了。

好吧,既然问题是断断续续的,我就加入到“有趣”中来

Go(又名Issue9)使用大写的可见性:

如果你用大写字母命名某个东西,它就会被公众访问。 如果你使用小写,它将被包保护:

包装外可见:

func Print(v ...) { 
}

包外不可见

func print( v ... ) {
}

你可以在这个原始答案中找到更多。

在Java中,

Int x = 010;

这将x赋值为8。

在Java中,任何前面带0的整数都被假定为八进制。
