In reference to the suggestion to using
#define massively_long_name short
and then using
massively_long_name();, or
massively_long_name = 3;,
etc....
THIS IS A BITCH TO DEBUG, ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE DOESN'T READ
THE HEADER FILES.......
i.e., i printout the code above, have the hard copy next to me,
and call "adb" (how arcane!!) to figure out why massively_long();
causes "Memory fault -- core dumped".
To my suprise, massively_long_name() is NEVER called in the program.
Instead, all i see are short(), or worse xx3ef();...... ARGHHH!!!
If someone ever did that to me and I wasted time chasing it i would
KILL!!!
From the world of adb,
eric
