Coding in C (Pit Party '08)

With apologies to Bon Jovi. The University of Washington Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Band at the annual CSE pit party, 9/27/08. This version of the UW CSE Band consists of Alex Colburn, Laura Effinger-Dean, Andrew Guillory, Natalie Linnell, Kristi Morton, and Pradeep Shenoy.

Lyrics:
Got a segfault!
And you're to blame, darling,
Coding in C is a damn shame

Why use bools when you have bits
Love that pointer arithmetic
Save some time with plus plus i
One dangling pointer, kiss my program goodbye

Whoa, it's off by one
Whoa, my program won't run
And nothing will tell me if damage was done

Got a segfault!
And you're to blame, darling,
Coding in C is a damn shame
At least it halts
That's not much to claim
Coding in C is a damn shame

Start each file with pound ifndef
Still don't know how to use printf
Should I use a union or a struct
If I make the wrong choice then I'll be - ????

Whoa, need efficiency
Hold your breath and run gcc
And please don't compile with dash oh three

chorus

Well the lyrucs are funny, but coding in c is not very like that...

;)

[rflejeune]

Ever tried LISP?

[XanClic]

That's so very untrue. Write an OS and you'll know what I'm talking about. ;-)

[antcuozzo]

That is so very true.

[golferseatcrap]

Lol, only noobs segfault -__-

I would love to have a studio version playing in the cs lab. This is great!
