// increase the dynamically allocated memory space of a word sized integer stored at the memory address represented by the symbol "x" by the integer 1 and terminate the instruction

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 38 points 8 months ago

Wait why is it dynamically allocated and why are you increasing the memory. Something is very wrong here

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 34 points 8 months ago

Found the bug. Thank goodness for comments.

[-] Anders429@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago

Oh, is this what they meant by "commenting your code"?

[-] Anders429@programming.dev 11 points 8 months ago

Why the heck does it need to be dynamically allocated? Just put that puppy on the stack.

[-] towerful@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

That's what it used to do.
But it was a bug, and the code has been fixed.

Please elaborate on the "1" more clearly. Other occurences specify the number base in their comments.
