Geoff,
The thing is, that is not a bug. The programmer did not make any
error
in his code at all.
You've removed the smiley; so I'm taking back some of that slack.
The original request was for bug-free SOFTWARE, not a bug-free CODE
snippet.
The code works as it was intended.
So you're in the same camp as my Flexware buddy, Bernie Mulcahy: "my
software is bug-free if people use it correctly"?
I write a lot of code that works the way it was intended.... And I end
up changing a lot of code during debugging because I and/or the user
find that what was intended (ie: in the project specs) turns out to be
flawed in implementation, doesn't address a real-world issue, leads the
user in the wrong direction, or is simply inferior to a different
approach that comes out of the testing process.
Simply meeting a specification does not guarantee that every user who
installs your software will experience no problems using it. The
critiques posted by others list several valid deficiencies in your
example.
