wowowow... is there something wrong/bad with a short routine?
OTOH it's very easy to end up with enormous functions- or even an enormous main
block- if machine-generating source by e.g. macro expansion.
now that you mention it, i do have a machine generated routine in one of my
apps... it was much easier to write code to generate all of the individual case
statements for the bit checking than to try to manually write all of them and
not typo anything...
it started as tri-state for 5 sets of vars and was reduced to bi-state for those
5 sets after a huge epiphany... we ended up with 1024 case values to check
instead of something over 18000...
I've come across some text-processing tools which were built like this...
typically via antique FORTRAN which lacked functions to get unhappy about
:-)
O:-)
