While porting the code for a rather large airport from SCO to Linux, I've
come across this example of "Which wheel do you want to reinvent today?"
char *pint(char *buf, int len, int val) {
int dval;
for (len--; len >= 0; len--) {
dval = val % 10;
val -= dval;
buf[len] = (char)('0' + dval);
val /= 10;
}
return buf;
}
The whole code base is filled with dubious constructs like this,
encompassing a strange mix of programming paradigms, including what looks
like an attempt at functional programming via RPC calls. This gem was the
straw that broke the camel's back.
