Please Dima, do not look at my patches if you can not stand their
clumsiness. I do not pay anybody to review them, and so no one should
feel forced to do so.
Nathann,
I know both Dima and myself have been critical of some of your code & methology
before, but I believe in this instance Dima is not singling you out at all, but
making a general observation of C code.
To me it appears that the problem with a lot of the C/C++ code in Sage is due to
people that write C or C++, but really have not bothered to spend more than an a
couple of hours learning the language.
It certainly *IS* possible to write C code that is easy to understand for
someone who has a reasonable understanding of C and of the subject the code is for.
There is code in Sage that is very poorly written. I know when I see someone
list the code which would not work with clang, I would have bet a significant
sum of money that lcalc would have been in the list. Sure enough it was.
