I was referring to
abort()
orkill -ABRT
, both of which result in a SIGABRT which is fatal, with coredump, by default.
-
If coredump saves anywhere near a minute, there's something seriously wrong. A second or two is more likely.
-
It's always the big processing test runs, in the middle of the work with several gigs of memory allocated.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him. ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate. you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He
gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- ‘Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never
touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this thread gave me cancer anyway.

This one is up for "The best of TDWTF" if it's not a copypasta :P

[spoiler]It's a 4chan original.

Dissapoint :(

I didn't know if it was pasta or not. All I know is that it is now.

Then we have blakeyrat's assertion that "'quit' implies you're stopping on purpose, finished using the program, 'exit' implies the program exits suddenly without saving";
Exit means to leave, quit means "Fuck it, I give up". I don't know what @blakeyrat's shoulder aliens are thinking.
-
Exit means to leave, quit means "Fuck it, I give up".
I don't understand that either... to me the two are synonyms. Actually, "synonyms" isn't even strong enough... to me, they're almost identical. Both do the same thing at the Python repl. Most shells useexit
to quit; gdb usesquit
to quit.q
quitsless
sessions. Windows GUI programs use exit; if what Gaska said above is true, OS X use "quit." OO Writer (which I do not hold up as a shining example of UI by any means) uses Exit in the menu (at least on Windows) but aliases Ctrl-Q to it. Emacs uses "quit."

In many senses they are, but they can have slightly different connotations. See: quitter.
I was just offering a counter to Blakey's assertion that he knows shit nobody else knows and that any other way of thinking is wrong, and that whatever Linux or any CLI does is wrong.
Google says exit means to leave a place and quit means to leave, usually permanently. Quit lists "exit from" as a synonym, exit doesn't list quit as a synonym. I can't be bothered looking at more definitions.
-
The problem with synonyms is that their meaning often isn't identical. For example, only a few words listed here mean "bright".
-
both of which result in a SIGABRT
/* *void abort() - abort the current program by raising SIGABRT * *Purpose: * print out an abort message and raise the SIGABRT signal. If the user * hasn't defined an abort handler routine, terminate the program * with exit status of 3 without cleaning up. * * Multi-thread version does not raise SIGABRT -- this isn't supported * under multi-thread.
... and the non-multithread runtime has been dropped since 2005.
It will raise at least one of two exceptions though:
if (IsProcessorFeaturePresent(PF_FASTFAIL_AVAILABLE)) __fastfail(FAST_FAIL_FATAL_APP_EXIT); _call_reportfault(_CRT_DEBUGGER_ABORT, STATUS_FATAL_APP_EXIT, EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE);
- then again, __fastfail is only supported from the 12.0 development environment and is handled as a standard STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION on pre-2012 operating system versions that don't handle said interrupt natively.
-
I only looked at the manpage, which on my linux box claims it uses SIGABRT.

oh, hadn't realized the topic went back on track to POSIX again, such a rare occurrence.

I believe that Blakey's assertion is that whatever any Open Source software does is wrong, and any other way of thinking other than his is wrong.

There are a few managers like that at work. They take it to extremes, insisting on spending large amounts of money on things like Oracle for everything and commercial DNS systems when anyone with any sense would balk at the licensing costs. (In the case of the commercial DNS systems, they managed to work so badly for us that we quietly just turned them off and stood up BIND on a Linux box in a corner; far cheaper, more flexible, and much less hassle.)
There's a moral to this story for us all.

I was thinking more along the lines of “sometimes you need to route the internet around managerial brain damage”.

I quit when I'm fed up with their idiotic bullshit and am not going to finish whatever they had me doing.

I can't possibly be any authority on what I thought I meant to say 3 or more days ago!

Sounds like "yes" to me.

Are you suggesting @HardwareGeek whooshed?
I assume it was intended to be an allusion to "Soylent Green is people," but it didn't seem to me to follow logically from what I wrote. The obvious joke would have been to isolate the words "programs written in C are people" from my post, and use that for the joke, but @tar turned "X is people" into "X is written in people," which doesn't make sense and loses, IMHO, the humor.
Besides, acknowledging the joke would have blocked the opportunity for gramming pendantry.

those monsters..... i know them from somewhere.....
but where?
/me wanders off to my collection of GBC and GBA games....
i'm sure it's in here somewhere....

Dragon Quest/Warrior 3, I believe.

my perusal of my
ROMSGame Cartridges agrees with that assessment

Chambers Dictionary says this:
quit verb (quitted or quit, quitting) ... 3 to exit (a computer program, application or game, etc).
Also, a Minecraft server is stopped with the command "stop". If you send SIGINT to stop it (a.k.a. Ctrl+C), it doesn't catch the interrupt and doesn't properly save your world before it exits.

Giving them up killed your grandfather within three years. It's probably time you started.

I want to find out now damnit. I'm nearly 40 already—I may not have much time left!
