Cheers, bstorer. I'm glad I didn't have to click on that.

Millions of people listen to Taylor Swift. What the fuck is your point? Most people are stupider than cattle, just less delicious.

Ooh I got a cringe! That's nearly as good as the response to a good solid terrible pun.
Am I a real groan-up troll now?
P.S. Hi morbs, welcome back.
P.P.S. random, it was unfair of me to expect sarcasm (tongue-in-cheek-ness?) to show through in 5 characters and no words. I hope I haven't driven you to drink and despair.
At least not to despair.

@dtech said:Solution: write a benchmark demonstrating both "optimization" steps and see if they actually do anything.here you go. Note: It's been years since I last touched C and I never had any real experience with it.
In the few runs I did the differences were in the milliseconds (with 1 millions executions). The struct was generally faster
A sample run with 20billion iterations and compiled with -O2 in gcc:
41.680000 - no parameters (control)
81.810000 - struct byref ordered
83.140000 - struct byref unordered
115.290000 - struct byval ordered
121.620000 - struct byval unordered
71.760000 - separate params ordered
71.110000 - separate params unordered

The thing that annoys me is that they're expecting to run 25mbit VDSL down all the current copper. That's all well and good but we get 3mbit over ADSL2+ on an average day and 4mbit on a very good day, and even then that's only with Internode setting us on a stable line profile (we were on a standard profile but then we stopped getting line sync).We aren't the only people with this problem in our area... a coworker of mine lives two streets over from me and gets about 0.5mbit faster speeds than we do on Internode's normal line profile.
Another anecdotal data point: four years ago, at a distance from the exchange that suggests a possible sync speed of about 8Mbps, I used to get 3-4Mbps (and plenty of dropouts). Something happened last year (rain in the ducts?), and now I am lucky if I get up to 1Mbps on a good day. This copper is not in good shape.

I had a screenshot of a really embarassing bug on Steam, but it looks like their super-reliable cloud hosting service has deleted it for me.

Also no this is not a good thing and shouldn't be done. If you write a base class that has a method you want sub-classes to override but still call the base implementation, then just document it to be so.

@Kyanar said:Woah. I just realised reading that, that I posted in support of a blakeyrant 5 years ago. I am the other person calling everyone an idiot in that thread.Everybody supports Blakeyrants. The only reason they pretend not to is so they can read more of my writing.
I don't support Blakeyrants and I think your hypothesis is full of holes. I bet you can't back it up.
