For wacky loop madness, it doesn't get much stranger than loop unrolling in
C/C++
So I present to you... <drum roll> ...Duff's Device!
(lifted direct from Wikipedia)
send(to, from, count)register short *to, *from;register count;{
register n=(count+7)/8;
switch(count%8){
case 0: do{ *to = *from++;
case 7: *to = *from++;
case 6: *to = *from++;
case 5: *to = *from++;
case 4: *to = *from++;
case 3: *to = *from++;
case 2: *to = *from++;
case 1: *to = *from++;
}while(--n>0);
}}
Such elegance!
Such conciseness!
Why oh why did I ever allow Scala, with it's complexity and ugly, ugly
functional constructs to enter my life?
It's nothing but a virtuous life of clean, simple,
comprehensible imperative code for me from now on!
